Just had notification that my Slate 7 Pro UK Early Bird order has been shipped.
Appears to be a lot smoother than the Mudi 7 pre-orders.

I have a setup I'm having trouble with. I have a Brume sitting behind a modem (and/or router) at home. Let's call that modem/router a Flint A. Then I have another router, Flint B, in a remote location. I can set up Flint B as a VPN server (OpenVPN or Wireguard), along with DDNS, since it has a residential service (I've appropriately set up port forwarding). Then, I have a laptop connected to the Brume which runs AnyConnect/GlobalProtect (yes, this is exactly what you are thinking, no lectures please!). The purpose is to get all laptop traffic to come out of the residential service in Flint B. Traffic works fine without AnyConnect or GlobalProtect. But once I connect those and try to pull up a site, whether a VPN site or public site, the page takes forever to load or doesn't load at all. Sometimes, GlobalProtect/AnyConnect complains about timeouts. I've tried messing with MTU down to 1280, no luck... Bonus question: for redundancy, I want to set up a Puli with a SIM card and Tailscale exit node (to get around CGNAT). In this case, it would replace the Wireguard/OpenVPN server (Flint B). The question: which VPN is best (less finicky?) for this setup? And can Tailscale work at all? How do I troubleshoot these network issues? I'm a software engineer, so I'm technical, just don't know the very deep details of networking...

I am not traveling anytime soon, so currently I am using Mudi 7 as backup internet, since my main home internet provider is Xfinity which has data-caps (well my plan is). I am using computers4people's shield internet plan which is essentially T-mobile network as a test.

I have found that my Mudi 7 gets really hot if I use it continuously, especially when I am uploading a lot of things ( think Google Photos uploads from my iPhone ).

I understand that when I do travel I would not use Mudi 7 continuously for extended periods of time except when back in hotels or something. But is this expected? Does anyone's Mudi 7 also overheat and if so, what were you doing?

I'm trying to help my friend get a GL.iNet Beryl AX router working with Telus Optik TV 3.0 PVR and a MoCA connection.

The TV service was working prior to installing the Beryl AX. The MoCA adapter is a Telus ECB6250A. I connect the PVR to the Beryl AX with an Ethernet cable, then I connect the Beryl AX to the MoCA adapter with an Ethernet cable.

I rebooted both the PVR and the Beryl AX. The internet works, and the PVR works for about 10-15 seconds before it loses connection.

In the Beryl AX's firmware, I have enabled IGMP Snooping and tried version 1, 2, and 3, but it's the same result.

What else do I have to do to get the PVR to work with the Beryl AX?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering getting the Comet (GL-RM1) and wanted to ask current owners/users about the audio features.

Does it support true two-way audio?
As in:

• being able to hear audio from the remote side
• and also speak back through the device in real time

If yes, how well does it work in practice? Any noticeable delay or quality issues?

Thanks!

On paper, the mudi 7 is an excellent device for my needs. I use vpn travel routers a lot (slate 7 and slate plus). So having an even smaller one with added sim support that runs on a battery is perfect.

But now I'm reading that there are different region versions and for example the US version doesn't work well in Europe. Why is that? If I can take my cell phone to every country without issue and use a local sim then why doesn't that work with this?

Btw, I've never used a mobile hotspot and figured they just all worked everywhere. For traveling that would make the device useless for. I have no need for a mobile hotspot or vpn router in my own country.

I recently bought a GL.iNet Slate 7 and it’s been a great little travel router so far. One thing I’d really like to do is use it as a backup internet option for the house when our primary internet goes down (which has happened a few times over the last few months).

Right now, I’ve successfully tethered my iPhone to the Slate 7 via USB.

My question is: does anyone know of a good hotspot/device that is pay-as-you-go or prepaid? I’d prefer not to pay for a monthly line that mostly sits unused just for emergencies or maybe when we travel in the car. Ideally I’m looking for a device where I can:

- Buy data only when needed and use it occasionally as a home internet failover connection or when traveling
- Plug it directly into the Slate 7 (USB tethering).

Curious what others here are using for internet setups like this.

Hello, i bought the GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) Portable Travel Router just a few days ago. I set it up via wifi and everything seems ok. I setup an openvpn thru nord and it works. The servers that i selected populate. However, when i try to setup wireguard client with nord, the servers dont add to my list after selecting them. What could be the issue? I already rebooted the router and used different tokens and browsers but no luck. The router is using v4.8.1

I will rarely be using the Mudi 7 off a power source, so I want to be able to set a maximum battery charge level (e.g. 80%) to reduce battery wear. (I still need battery to be inserted to handle electricity shutdowns)

I recently received my Mudi 7, opened it up and went to turn it on. It was basically dead out of the box just enough to power in and show it was at 0% battery before it powered off. I plugged it in to charge it up, in which it also turned on/booted up. I was able to configure it and changed the power up on charge option. I turned it back off and I left it plugged in overnight so it could charge up. This morning I checked the device and it still shows 0% Charging on the screen any ideas? I initially am using an Apple USB-A 12w brick that has a USB-C cable attached. I also tried my Apple USB-C 20w charging brick (which at times would show fast charging but not all the time). The highest it got was 28% with the Apple USB-C 20w brick but after power cycling it at that charge it was completely back at 0%.

Any ideas would be great! Thanks!

Hello,

I realize this is the pfSense community and this is likely a GL.Inet issue, but im hoping somebody with a similar setup could help out. I am having one last hurdle with my remote travel setup that i just can't seem to figure out and was wondering if anybody here had any ideas.

The Plan: To be able to access my home lab while im traveling as if i had never left home.

The Setup: Home firewall runs pfsense and is acting as a wireguard server. GL.Inet Slate7 is acting as a wireguard client.

The Issue: Stateful connections from the Slate7 lan can access the home network. Stateless connections (like DNS queries for example) fail from the Slate7 lan. All connections originating from the home network to the Slate7 network fail.

On pfSense: Wireguard client shows as connected. Allowed IPs set for the Slate7 network. Static route for the Slate7 network has been set to the wireguard gateway. Firewall rules on the wireguard named tunnel are set to Allow Any Any.

On Slate7: On the VPN dashboard the wireguard client is green. On the VPN dashboard it's set so Lan network to subnet for home network is the wireguard config/tunnel. The Allowed IPs for the home network are also set in the WG config. The "Allow remote acces to Lan subnet" is checked. Also IP Masquerading is unchecked. In LuCi under the firewall section I have a entry for wgclient1 to Lan set to Accept, Accept, Accept. There is also an entry for Lan to Wan/wgclient1 set to Accept, Accept, Accept.

I really feel like this has to be a firewall block on the Slate, but i cant seem to figure what else to look for. Does anybody else have any ideas? I feel im so close.

Thanks in advance!
