GL.iNet GL-E750V2 MUDI 4G LTE Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot - Travel VPN

In this review of the GL.iNet GL-E750V2 MUDI, the bottom line is simple: it is a focused travel router for users who need secure, portable internet with reliable VPN options. The reviewer found MUDI stands out because it pairs a built-in 7000mAh battery and a physical SIM slot with integrated OpenVPN and WireGuard support, making it a practical choice for remote workers, frequent flyers, and anyone who wants an independent Wi-Fi source that prioritizes privacy. For those who need a compact device to replace spotty hotel Wi-Fi while keeping traffic encrypted, MUDI delivers.

Key Features

• 4G LTE with SIM slot: Provides mobile broadband access on the go so users can create a private Wi-Fi network from cellular data when fixed networks are unavailable.
• Built-in VPN support: OpenVPN and WireGuard are preloaded to secure traffic and allow easy connections to over 30 VPN servers for privacy and remote access.
• Combined Wi-Fi speeds: Dual-band Wi-Fi offers up to 300Mbps on 2.4G and 433Mbps on 5G for better local network performance when multiple devices are connected.
• Large battery: The internal 7000mAh battery provides up to around 8 hours of continuous use, making it suitable for a full workday away from outlets.
• Expandable storage and ports: DDR2 128MB RAM, 16MB NOR + 128MB NAND Flash, microSD up to 1 TB and a USB 2.0 port enable file sharing and basic storage expansion.
• Compact, travel-friendly design: At roughly 5.7 in by 3.1 in by 0.9 in and 285 g, MUDI is lightweight and easy to pack for business trips or vacations.

Who It's For

MUDI suits travelers who prioritize a secure connection and multi-device sharing: digital nomads, remote workers, and small groups staying in short-term rentals or hotels. Its integrated VPN options make it a good fit for anyone who wants to avoid relying on public Wi-Fi and needs an independent router with cellular failover.

Those who should look elsewhere include heavy home users who need full router feature sets for many wired devices or very high local LAN throughput, and buyers in the restricted countries listed, since cellular features are limited there. Also, if absolute top battery endurance or enterprise-grade throughput is required, a larger dedicated unit may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

• Expandable storage and USB port make it flexible for small file sharing tasks on the road.

Cons

• Cellular reception can be mixed in some locations, so connectivity is not guaranteed everywhere.
• Some users report heat and variable battery life under heavy continuous use, which may affect long streaming sessions.
