Works perfectly. The new firmware 3.203 supports messaging.

I am very satisfied with the Gl.iNet GL-AP1300 Cirrus. It works great and firmware updates continue to improve the router's performance. The latest May 2021 update, version 3.203, enables SIM-based cellular messaging via the device management web portal. I have no further concerns and hope Gl.iNet will release a newer version with 5G, 10000Base-T Ethernet and Wifi 6e support.

Pros
  • Excellent performance with MU-MIMO
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Old OpenWRT - Cannot upgrade to OpenWrt 21

As another reviewer noted, this model is based on OpenWrt 15. Normally gl.iNet products can be upgraded to the standard OpenWrt software, but this one can. t. This is a good device for single purpose networks with a single access point, but nothing more.

Pros
  • PACKAGE CONTENTS
Cons
  • Something else

No SMS forwarding option for built-in LTE modem

Very disappointed that there is no SMS forwarding option for built-in LTE modem. Is this a bug that will be fixed in the next firmware version?

Pros
  • OPEN SOURCE AND PROGRAMMABLE
Cons
  • Clarity

Excellent 4G LTE Gateway and Router with Commercial Antenna

Gl.iNet Cirrus LTE LTE Router and Gateway are well made, competitively priced and fast. Commercial-grade dual antennas eliminate the need for mesh networks in my home. The 4G LTE modem connects stably and quickly to masts in my area. 80 Mbit/s were achieved with T-Mobile and 40 Mbit/s with AT&T. When connected to my Google Fiber Webpass WAN, it hits speeds in excess of 1Gb/s, and the LAN port is Gigabit Ethernet, so it's fast enough for Ultra HD 4K HDR streaming. There are a few things that…

Pros
  • SDN Solution
Cons
  • Frequency

Older OpenWRT firmware 15.05.1

1. Older OpenWRT firmware 15.05.1, OpenWrt.2 no longer supports it. Unable to upgrade to Openwrt 17.x, 19.x, 21.x due to unsupported/outdated Wi-Fi3 hardware driver. Latest firmware released is 3.x from glnet, it's still based on OpenWRT 15.x, no plan to upgrade to 19.x4. The WireGuard GL user client and server is horrible, it doesn't show up in the UI, you can't make changes to the firewall rules, it restarts every time

Pros
  • Remote control and management
Cons
  • Long time
