GL-XE300 (Puli) 4G LTE Industrial IoT Gateway, Router/Access Point/Extender/WDS, OpenWrt, 5000mAh Battery, OpenVPN, Remote SSH, WPA3, IPv6 (EG25G), Global Version

Not all that simple to set up. Works very well but over heats when its using a sim card. Signal is on point even up to 20ft. Its very compact and light weight. Well worth the money. Highly recommend

It's only been about fifteen minutes since I opened the box and this thing is already up and running. It could not have been any easier and it makes me wonder why the four or five different mobile routers I have tried never worked - because this one took about two minutes to configure and start using. That's not an exaggeration. I am typing this on my laptop that's connected to this router. It was amazing. I thought that this seemed a little expensive, but I'm glad I got it anyway. The ease of the setup was totally worth the cost. I haven't yet found anything to complain about. I'm beyond impressed.

Pros: a lot of advanced features, very convenient & eazy to use I loved the VPN Killswitch, multiple internet sources 4G-LTE/LAN/WiFi-repeater which could be compined together Cons: 1- it lacks USSD codes support 2- The IMEI is not printed on package/device, however IT IS printed on the chip INSIDE the device, in some countries they require to see a physical IMEI for duties and registration purposes Overall: very useful, i bought another one, it is worth every penny :) 4.7/5

I received the unit and tried for hours to get it to mount and read either an SD card or a USB thumb drive. Neither worked. None of the online help and forums addressed the issue. Everything showed that it should have an internal application that read the drives as network attached storage. It didn't. I reformatted, reset, and rebooted the unit dozens of times. I updated the internal packages. I used the pc interface and the android app. UPDATE: I contacted customer support. They replied, "Sorry for the inconvenience caused. The file sharing feature has been removed from firmware V4 due to the short of the memory space. ​If you want to use it in firmware v4, you can follow the post here to restore the feature by installing plug-in package Due to the insufficient memory storage, you may need to us a micro SD card or the USB drive to expand the space through exroot method. Here is a related setup tutorial at how-to-add-a-usb-drive-or-a-sd-card-as-overlay for your reference." So, I purchased an microSD card and spent two days reading on Linux commands and OpenWRT. I got the microSD card mounted as part of the system memory. I installed the necessary packages to get the USB readable. This also means that the microSD card is no longer usable as external storage. This was a big selling point on the website and Amazon. So, beware false advertising. This also doesn't have a native FTP server like some of the other brands do. That took roughly a day of programming to make it work. Moral of the story, this is a product that is limited by its internal memory. You will have to spend time and money to get some of the key selling points to work. If you are a programmer and you want a project. Have at it. If you want a plug and play solution, look elsewhere.

The device accepted the SIM card very easy and has not had a hard time connecting every time it is turned on.

Sometimes it got disconnected for data networks.

This has got to be one of my top products received from Amazon. Seriously. It took about 3hrs of finagling due to the SIM card and, well... me, but when it works (which is hit or miss regarding the modem), it's a pleasure to operate and have because it provides a nice clean connection with a VPN included... where ever I go. In the box, there is the device (mine had about 45% battery charged in the box) a USB-C power cable... which means you can charge this with a normal USB-C cable, and that's awesome ...and a couple of adapters for the region you are in. I think it's because I got the worldwide version, but to me... that was a pleasant surprise to see that they had included a few adapters for different countries and power grids. The device itself is small, small enough to throw in my pocket. It's quiet. It's unassuming, I mean there are lights but I doubt anyone would know what it is if you didn't tell them. It's not flashy... and I personally like that everything is low-key. It also does its job quietly, which is nice. On top of all that, there are two ethernet ports onboard the device which give you the option to WAN one or LAN two. As for performance, well... you get a 3g/4g connection so if you are used to 5g speeds it's going to be a step down. With an AT&T sim card I was getting around 16mb down, and 10mb up... which is good enough to run what I want to run. This leads me to my reservations about this product, and there are a couple. First the wifi output is only 2.4ghz and there is no 5ghz radio or option to enable it so naturally you end up with a lot of interference as nearly every IOT device in my house runs on 2.4ghz. If this was a travel orientated router... then why not add the second channel with a wider channel selection and a shorter range? Next similarly why no 3g/4g/5g? I know that would shift things from where this was aiming to be, and that's a great place... it makes travel modems very accessible where it is, but especially being a product released and marketed in the US alone, 5g is becoming more commonplace... so why was that left on the table. Finally, just a small gripe... let people know this takes a second to get going, because it's really confusing to start this and nothing happens for a good 5 minutes. If you never turn it on and off... you may not realize, but without sounds or lights or something that says "Getting Started" it seems like it's not doing anything when it's actually not booting but finding a connection with the modem. Which further reminds me that there's even more that this device can do, like route WIFI and act as a router with OpenWRT... and so yeah... I love this device even with some of the odd choices with the radios and channel capabilities.

Cellular randomly working. Always have to login the interface, reboot modem and so before it works. And repeat every time it’s powered off. PS: it’s running the latest firmware

Purchased this Global version to help me with a period of remote working in China thanks to the device supporting e-Sim For my setup i used a physical e-sim from EOITCLUB in conjunction and with NOMAD to provide a 20gb/30day package and ProtonVPN for establishing secure connection back to the UK I tested this prior to travelling to ensure the router would work as intended which did require some support from the GLI team as out of the box the firmware wasn't at a level to open up the e-Sim options on the Admin panel. Once the router had been updated to V4.7.15 all was fine and then just a case of instaling an e-Sim profile and setting the APN that applies to the provide/package purchased in the connection settings. Once tested in the UK i was confident of being able to use it without issue in China and ultimatley did so with ease. I did some initial testing, before using it for work, do detemine which VPN protocol would provide the best speed since i was going to be layering the VPN i.e. establishing a VPN within a VPN for attiional security. For my connection Wireguard gave me the best overall performance and since the network infrastructure is far superior in China connecting at 4g was perfectly adequate for my work needs. The router does get quite hot extended operation not helped with being in such a hot climate in the first place so good ventilation is a must if you don't have a nice air-conditioned space to work in. All in all a great router at a very reasonable cost with excellent support should you ever need it from the team at GLI

è un modem router portatile davvero niente male. Tenuto per circa 8h acceso a batteria, all'esterno, con cavo ethernet di 30m connesso, mi ha permesso di lavorare in un locale sotterraneo dove non c'era possibilità di connessione telefonica/internet. Sono davvero soddisfatto, lo utilizzerò sempre

Le daré 5 estrellas porque es una excelente pieza de tecnología. Aunque el firmware lo tuve que regresar a la versión 4.3.27,ya que es la más estable y con la que funciona correctamente. El problema que tuve fue que siempre al encender en el portal web pedía configuración inicial y no guardaba ningún cambio. Entonces con la versión 4.3.27 que era una versión anterior, se solucionó todo.

Buen calidad y todo super bien

This is a 3G/4G mobile rechargeable router from the GL.iNet Store. The router comes with a charge cable which has changeable sockets for UK/EU and a 1 metre CAT 6 network cable. Setting up the router is quite straight forward and you can either install your sim card straight away although I found you cannot install it when the router is on otherwise it would not recognise it so insert the card prior to switching it on. On the front of the router are various lights for showing the routers activity status such as battery charge level, Power light, WAN connection, LAN connection, WIFI activity light and also 3G/4G activity light. On the back of the router are all the details for conencting to the router to change its settings with passwords which I would advise changing immedaitely from the admin interface. There is also a recessed reset button, power connection, USB 2.0 socket and WAN and LAN connections plus the sim and also a memory SD slot on the bottom of the router. I should mention that the details of the router say you can use T-Mobile only although I have used an ID Mobile unlimited sim in the router without issue and works perfectly. The admin frontend for this router is very straight forward and if you have setup a normal adsl router before this will all be very familiar plus the frontend appears responsive with no bugs or issues encountered. When using the router for 3 or 4G I found it as good as another 4G router I had and it provided decent connectivity rates. This router is absolutely ideal as a mobile router on the go especially for businesses of any size or for field engineers that require internet access for their tablets or laptops in the car especially as the router has battery backup as well. I really am blown away with this router and its usefulness and flexibility and it is also priced very effectively for what it achieves and thoroughly recommend it.
