Few thoughts on the Mudi:
*Supports Adguard Home with a testing firmware
*7000 Mah battery can charge your mobile (albeit very slowly) in an emergency
*Supports a nano sim - no need for those fiddly sim adapters
*Supports out of the box OpenVPN and Wireguard Server and Client and with the latest firmware TOR client.
*VPN access on/off can be controlled by a physical on/off switch. So you could connect to the Mudi WiFi "normally" and when you want to you can flick the switch to turn on the VPN.
*Via the web interface you can switch VPNs. I have a Wireguard client back to my home router server for security and Australian internet access but also have 3 OpenVPN countries setup on Nord/Pure for geographical VPN. It's easy as dragging a CFG file into the interface to setup and the web interface lets you change between them
*One thing that isn't mentioned is the security implications on connecting to an open network. You end up with your own firewalled, subnetted network (This is why Chromecast will work on a hotel captive portal network)
Only has 1 LAN/WAN port as standard but you can add another via USB-C replicator
*Because it's OpenWRT based you can add any of the packages out of the OpenWRT repository. I have run VPNS, AdBlock, Transmission Torrent downloads to the USB stick connected etc
*It can also be used as an AP or repeater. Handy because of it's size
*Full LUCI interface can still be accessed outside of the Gl.iNet wrapper
*If you're on holidays with the family you can configure all your devices to attach to the Mudi and as you move from free WiFi to free Wifi you don't have to reconnect all their devices just the Mudi once. You can put a USB stick on it to share music/movies/photos (or in a car, or on a plane) even without an internet connection or us the micro SD Card Slot
*Because the router presents itself as a device to the network, and all connected devices to the Mudi present as the Mudi (if that makes sense), gets around restrictive WiFi networks where you can only have a limited number of devices. Useful too if you're paying for per device.
Can’t you just get the cheaper GL-AR750 or Mango router and just add in a usb 4g dongle or just plug in your mobile?
