Running an OS based on Linux 6.1, possibly the Buildroot-built GLKVM OS, it includes the GLKVM app for Windows, macOS, Android, and soon iOS. There’s no Linux app, but control is possible via web browser within the LAN or through VPN over the Internet.
The GL.iNet Comet 5G is available for $299.99 on Amazon, $265.19 on AliExpress, and $299.99 on the GL.iNet store. Despite 5G RedCap being cheaper than regular 5G, the Comet 5G costs $120 more than last year’s Comet Pro, partly due to its larger touchscreen and 64GB eMMC flash.
