GL-X3000 Spitz AX 5G NR cellular router, Wi-Fi 6, dual nano-SIM (single standby), 2.5G WAN + gigabit LAN, OpenWrt, WireGuard. Carrier and band support vary — verify T-Mobile/AT&T notes on the listing.

Who it is for

  • Rural, RV, or backup-WAN shops that want an always-on cloud agent.
  • People who already have a data plan and need OpenWrt instead of a carrier hotspot.

Who should skip it

  • Fiber homes that only need a LAN router — Flint 2.
  • Travelers who only tether a phone — Beryl AX is smaller and has no SIM tax.

What to compare

  • Hermes on light hardware is useless without WAN. This is the cellular hop when you cannot put the Pi or N150 on fiber.
  • Dual-SIM is failover, not two networks at once. Confirm bands against your carrier before buying.
  • It still does not run the agent. Pair it with a Pi 5, Mini S13, or Mac mini.

Verify on the Amazon listing

  • Confirm GL-X3000 / Spitz AX, not Puli/Mudi/Spitz v1.
  • Confirm carrier certification notes and that antennas are included.

Honest limitation

Needs a working 5G/LTE plan and coverage. Latency and caps are the carrier’s, not the router’s, and this is not a computer.
