cdc_ether package for anything that shows up as a USB Ethernet device on a regular PC? Got it.
I understand, I'm just saying they can choose to not involve themselves further in this thread rather than a futile argument.
They're trying to help, you make it hard for them to do so ...
I'm sending you on a wild goose chase, since I don't know what's sold where you are...

I put myself in this position. I am quite grateful that you're trying to help me in spite of me being me. However, that doesn't mean I'm somehow trying to keep you here and insist you give me answers despite not knowing my region. If you couldn't give me an answer and simply ignored this thread, then it's just as well.
I'm okay with not getting an answer, this isn't support that I paid for. I'm also okay with going on a wild goose chase because that's the constraint I put on myself voluntarily.
Frankly speaking, if it's not NA or EU, you wouldn't know what's sold there anyway.

True, but that's assuming local chains don't go for a .com TLD anyway. Well, I don't blame 'em. Local domain issuing org are a pain to deal with, specially if it's a gov monopoly.
Looks like you are limited to two mobile network operators, n28 n20 N8 n3 n1 n41 n78 and n257 5g frequencies are available to use, not sure if 5G standalone is available for you, shall investigate further.
Sorry, but what does that mean?
EDIT Sorry, I should've googled before responding. I see what 5G SA is, but why would that affect my device choices?
If I ignore 5G, TP-Link's Archer MR600 looks pretty attractive for 4G. Okay specs, OpenWrt support and very reasonable price.
As long as you're sure you'll be getting a v2.

Before the topic dies out, does OpenWrt support any of those portable router things. I mean, aside from GL.iNet; GL-XE300 is available on local Amazon via international shipping, and it's about as expensive as locally stocked 5G stuff.
And speaking of 5G devices, what's so special about them that makes them about two and a half times more expensive than 4G units? 5G has been a thing for years now, this shouldn't be an "early-adopter tax".
mostly it doesn't.
use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT when you search for supported hardware.
not many 5g radio vendors out there, I'm guessing.
no competition usually leads to higher prices.
I doubt that. There's a fair number of Chinese letter soup brands on Amazon that claims to sell 5G crap.
Oh well, no use arguing about that. I'll let the thread die. Thank you very much indeed for all your assistance.
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-e750/ < the Mudi or the XE3000:
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-xe3000/
there's a GL-X3000 too, no idea what the difference is compared to the GL-XE3000.
XE3000 has a battery, X3000 does not

This seems good?
The built-in module can be replaced (originally Qualcomm x55), you can try to buy x75 module. The only disadvantage is that the CPU performance is not as good as AW1000, which means that the software installed is not as fast as AW1000, but the network speed is the same
interesting, since
it was suggested and dismissed a week ago.

Is there an LuCI UI for config the 5G provider stuff?
Is Swisscom supported?
There's Luci UI for configuring mobile carrier stuff.

Teltonika RUTX50 might be worth to check.
