GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) Cellular Gateway 5G Router for House & RV, Wi-Fi 6, Detachable Antennas, Dual-SIM, T-Mobile & AT&T IoT Device Certified, Family/Rural Area/Road Trips (Free 10GB SIM Card)

Update x2: Great modem once you figure it out.
Second update: I found a way to use unlimited plus (no throttle) Verizon discount carriers on it: Visible ($45/mo) or Total($50/mo). It IS possible, with a very specific configuration to use Verizon (LTE+NSA only) and we’re getting killer download speeds where no other internet is available, a few miles out of town, and no extra antennas, through an external wall. Yes, it will require some real research and work to get it set. Once set, we are solid. High speeds and very reliable.Update: A year later, still using the modem and pretty happy, actually. I figured out my speed issues are due to having a carrier that deprioritizes data when the network is congested. This can slow speeds hugely. On a flagship plan, things should be pretty good. I’m a bit out in the country next to a small town with one main 5g tower, so it gets great speeds when it’s not too busy, and pretty slow speeds if it gets really congested. In town, I expect this would be much less of an impact, since speeds in town are huge. We took this unit on a car vacation for a week to Florida, and kept the kids online the whole way, hooked up in two different hotel rooms and friends’ condo with speeds around 200 mbps down without much searching. Learning the local towers and the band-masking function on the unit help a lot. I learned the issues are generally less with the unit and available local towers. 4 and not 5 stars still because I really need to use a different modem for my smart home devices.One thing this modem has going for it: AT commands to change IMEI is pretty easy. Once that was set and getting my TTL set to 65 for Metro by T-Mobile, it connected. Tower lock is pretty cool to keep your speed pretty steady, unless your tower’s signal is low or acting up today, and then you need to step back in and make changes because then you’re not connecting at all. Also be warned, carrier aggregation is limited to 2 bands, that is, one 5G and one LTE band. This means it won’t be as fast as other modems with 3 band carrier aggregation, though I understand those are a bit more expensive. It’s pretty terrible for administrating a smart home. It can handle just a few devices at a time, but in the end I’ve gone back to my AT&T sim card with my rock-steady CAT18 4G LTE Cudy router, which is frankly much of the time almost as fast and can do combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, keeping those slower smart devices synced up with the faster ones. This modem can only do separate 2.4 and 5 GHz Wifi, and didn’t administrate the slower band very well. It does a good job if you just have some PCs wanting to hook up to a 5G 5GHz connection, and not far away from the unit. I also tried LAN out to WAN on the cudy. This took a good bit of setting changes to be able to get them to work together. To be fair there are plenty of options for doing this, though I found that using the Cudy router as an access point seemed to cut both routers’ speeds in half, whether or not you leave the gl-x3000’s wireless active or not. This setup also made video streaming almost impossible. Your wireless carriers will also still throttle you endlessly, though that’s not GL.iNet’s fault. VPN is still a must for PC video streaming, while streaming to TV seems to work pretty well. The very worst issue is that depending on your wireless band, you get 100% packet loss to many wireless devices connected to it, including phones and chromebooks. I think this may have something to do with the wifi frequency, because setting that seemed to help with some devices, but there are still moments of delay or no data passing through at all, leaving apps thinking they are offline, even if the device is connected. In the end, it’s a solid 5G modem with just ok router capacities. It’s supposed to be able to handle functioning as a WiFi repeater, or even as a tethering WiFi distribution device, but at $400+ there are much more affordable and honestly actually effective devices for that purpose for a fraction of the price.tl;dr:The good: Turns a basic wireless phone SIM card into pretty fast 5G home internet (if you can figure out settings)The bad: It’s a pretty shoddy router for administering multiple devices, doesn’t play well with LAN/WAN.The ugly: Limitedly customizable via a router interface, and doesn’t outshine other 5G routers on the same service, especially for the price. In the end, I will probably end up returning this modem due to oddball snags, though I could learn to live with it.Maybe someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong with this one regarding settings to make it work better.

Perfect All Around Router
I did the deep dive on routers to find an all around version that would work great traveling and after the trip. When it comes to 5G Routers available right now this is the best option especially while mobile.I’m primarily using it as the consistent network (name) I can use as a repeater at AirBnbs, my apartment and travel. The main purpose was to have failover when traveling to Africa for remote work and the physical sims since for the most part you never get as fast internet with an eSim and typically it’s way more intensive to get an eSim (postpaid required).Tested this for a few days with a Verizon physical sim in my apartment (high rise downtown miami). Much faster service than my cell phones get in the same location.Combining this with DC to USB C adapter and a battery bank.Solid Router!
