GL.inet has some LTE routers with OpenWRT on them. I haven't tried the LTE version, and the one (Shadow) I have has to be rebooted once a week, but that's a really cheap one I was trying.

Shady

...is it?

...can I get a peer review on the amount of shade we're being given, here? I get it's their hardware but isn't it more... chosen hardware? Isn't the software also public?

Where's the shade, exactly?

Somewhat of a pyrrhic victory.

The hardware itself is kinda ass for most use cases. Missing wifi7 as well.

I'm late to the party but please consider this FOSS / liberated hardware option from thinkpenguin. Highly recommended.
