GL.iNet GL-AP1300(Cirrus) Gigabit Ceiling Wireless Access Point | Dual Band AC1300 | Connect with 100 Client Devices | MU-MIMO | Cloud Remote Management | OpenWrt/LEDE | PoE Powered

Works well. Nice that its based on openwrt so I can switch to that if I want to in future, but I've been using the official install for now. It provides a basic UI but let's you switch to the openwrt LuCi interface if you want.The basic antennas that came with it worked very well, but I switched to a directional antenna and more than doubled the speeds. I can get 160 mbit downstream and 40mbit upstream on LTE with EE, though I do have direct line of sight with a tower.Deducted one star because IPv6 doesn't work properly with EE. Looks like a bug with openwrt.

Excellent

Ik heb dit apparaat gekocht voor in de caravan. Hij doet perfect wat hij moet doen. Het enige wat jammer is is dat de software gebaseerd is op openwrt 15.5 (chaos calmer), een behoorlijk gedateerde versie uit 2016. Ondanks dat functioneert het apparaat prima!

I saw two reviewers that were complaining about not being able to install latest OpenWRT. The way to do this is to follow the "unbrick" method -- hold reset button while powering on, until the main LED stops blinking (5 blinks), then go to 192.168.1.1 and upload your firmware.That being said, I tried (with OpenWRT, haven't tried the stock FW) to get mesh networking to work and I gave up after a few days. It does set it up and connect initially, but the signal seems to be weak, and it would never reconnect once it disconnects. Also, even if they are 30cm apart, connected in mesh, if you run a big transfer across (via nc, for example) it will crash sooner or later. Seems to be kernel/driver related.Compared to a few other devices I own it doesn't have the strongest of signals, maybe the model with internal antennas would be better (mine is WiFi only). My walls are very tick so I chose the solution with multiple APs mostly serving 5GHz (one room) so now my signal strength is excellent (because there is a router hanging on the wall in every room :)).Another thing to point out is that the router case is sealed -- you can't open them. They have screws, which don't seem to do much. If you're really hell bent on opening it, you'll destroy the case (maybe the screws will hold it together).So I'd suggest it (for OpenWRT) unless you care about Mesh. I ended up laying a bunch of wires with a PoE switch, which works beautifully.

Le seul problème est que la gamme Cirrus est introuvable maintenant et qu’étendre son réseau avec des routeurs uniformes est impossible

Aktuelle Firmware des „GL.iNet GL-AP1300(Cirrus) EP06-E“ ist „OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 e7067e3+r49254“ (Datum: 22.09.2021). Dies bedeutet, dass die neueste Release der Firmware 3.203 von GL.iNet auf „OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1“ basiert. Der Router „GL.iNet GL-AP1300(Cirrus)“ wird von GL.iNet nicht auf „Openwrt 17.x , 19.x, 21.x“ upgedated. Er bleibt also bei „OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 e7067e3+r49254“ stehen, anscheinend soll die Wifi-Hardware von den neueren OpenWRT Versionen (17.x , 19.x, 21.x…) nicht mehr unterstützt werden. Das Gerät lässt sich auch nicht mit reinem OpenWRT flashen. Haptisch wirkte es sehr hochwertig. Auch die Bedienoberfläche an sich fand ich durchdacht. Der Router funktioniert in Österreich ohne Probleme mit einer Karte von A1, es werden alle Bänder unterstützt. Wegen dem fehlenden weiteren OpenWRT Support (17.x , 19.x, 21.x…) ging es leider zurück.
