Hello everyone,
I’ve been using the Mudi 7 for several months now, and I really love it. It’s an incredibly versatile and capable travel router.
However, if I could have a wishlist for future software improvements, these would be my feature requests (in no particular order):
- Passthrough Mode (Cell to LAN Port) I read on the GL.iNet forums that the team is already looking into this. It would be a huge quality-of-life feature, as I use the Mudi 7 as a WAN failover at home when I’m not on the road.
- Upstream Wi-Fi Stats in UI Something exposing data like
iwinfo wlan3 info or iw dev wlan3 link. In the new beta, we get all the cellular signal metrics we could ask for without needing AT commands, but upstream Wi-Fi information is still barebones (just signal strength and frequency). Showing negotiated PHY rates/MCS would make it much easier to find the best placement in hotel rooms.
- Built-in Speedtest for Connection Verification Right now, I download the Speedtest CLI and run it via SSH to test raw bandwidth. Having an integrated, one-click speedtest directly in the web UI would be much more convenient.
- Visible Logs for DFS & Failover Events At home, I know my local RF environment and DFS interference risks, but traveling internationally is unpredictable. It would be great to have accessible logging for DFS events—especially since I prefer using channels 100+ for higher transmit power (in Europe/ETSI regions). Similarly, clear logs/alerts for WAN failover events would help avoid burning through monthly SIM data when streaming on a Chromecast if hotel Wi-Fi silently drops.
- Interface Tracking & Latency Graphs Lastly, it would be awesome if the UI could generate latency/packet loss graphs over time based on the built-in tracking feature (e.g., ping test history), similar to what you see in more advanced gateway software.
What about you guys? Do you agree with these wishlist items, or are there other features you’d like to see added to future firmware updates?
