i dont know im broke and… i cannot afford a plus 50$ router im researching and there is only 2024 versions, would it do the job? or im cooked?

just bought the tr3000 for 30$ checked toh and checked firmware selector and checked specs…. i hope it works, im too poor to get a gli.net and i cannot buy a big router because im a nomad and traveling with big things is a hassle… i hope it works.. what do you think? please dont give me bad news …

Where are you? Cudy WR3000_ Or xiaomi AX3000T are in 40-50 bucks bracket... 4C is 100Mbps 4A gigabit is with gigabit ports but you need old revision, it has both compatibility problems and mechanical design problems in some releases.

my holy grail was gl.inet but looks like cudy is a good alternative, thank you bro

Yes, MT7981-based routers by Cudy should be a good option for you. Previously Xiaomi AX3000T was a cheap and recommended option but since Xiaomi introducing a V2 version with a different SoC - there’s no guarantee you can get a V1 version anymore. Go for a Cudy router if you can find it for sale …
