I could use the GL-X750 just as an internet router(turning off its WIFI radios) and feed it into the AirCube. Our RV already has an access point(Ubiquiti Air Cube) which we use with a Nanostation M2 Wifi repeater to boost RV Park wifi signals. I was able to get a nano sim card working without an adapter by positioning it just right before locking the sim tray, but I wouldn’t recommend this as a long term solution. The SD Card slot could be used if you wanted to share files on the private network the router will create. Once you take the off you will the SD Card slot and the Sim Card slot. On the bottom of the unit is an access panel. You’ll need a micro sim card(or a nano sim card in a nano adapter. Both of the routers can be configured to use a VPN(using wither OpenVPN or the newer WireGuard) to help secure your privacy online.
GL.inet also makes some inexpensive routers without sim card slots that can be used for USB or WIFI Tethering from your smartphone or iPad such as the $20 GL-MT300N-V2 Wireless Mini Portable Travel Router. For example, my AT&T wireless plan includes 15GB of hotspot data. Your other option is tethering your phone to the GL-X750 via USB. I have “unlimited” in quotes because these days nothing is truly unlimited.Ĭricket(AT&T) also data-only monthly plans: 20GB for $35, 40GB for $50 and 100GB for $90įor my first month, I chose to buy an “unlimited” T-mobile hotspot data sim card from a reseller on eBay since I already had a new unused T-Mobile sim…if you go this route proceed at your own risk! There are several companies that specialize in selling “unlimited” data plans that work with hotspots & LTE routers.
If you are a tech geek, you can install GoldenOrb Firmware from the ROOter project (also based on OpenWRT). GL.Inet changes to the software make it easier for non-geeky people to set up the router and get online. The GL-X750 runs a slightly modified version of OpenWRT which is a very popular open-source router operating system. We’d liked that it had many positive reviews on Amazon, and that they had an active forum: We chose their GL-X750 model after comparing it to some other options such as the MOFI4500. We have found the GL-X750 is great for RV Internet. If you have done any travel in an RV, you already know that you cannot rely on RV Park WiFi. We’ve been on the road a lot in our RV and needed reliable internet for both remote school and remote work. GL.INET makes a slew of useful routers, mobile hotspots, and access points.
