What’s published

Open firmware

GL.iNet publishes GPL OpenWrt firmware and MT798x U-Boot source for the MT3000 on GitHub, but no PCB schematics, Gerbers or BOM; some vendor add-ons ship only as closed binaries.

Research notes

Listed all ~95 repos under github.com/gl-inet and ran GitHub code search across the org for 'schematic' and 'gerber' -- zero hits anywhere; no hardware directory exists. gl-inet/mt798x-boot's own description explicitly says 'U-BOOT for MT2500/MT3000/X3000/XE3000/MT6000', confirming it covers this device (bootloader source only). Also checked gl-inet/glinet4.x: its tree contains a pkg_config/gl_pkg_config_mt3000.mk entry confirming MT3000 support, but every other file in that repo is a precompiled .ipk binary package (the gl-sdk4-* vendor management/cloud/VPN add-ons) -- i.e. GL.iNet ships closed binaries for its own value-add software on top of the GPL OpenWrt base, so 'open-firmware' describes the base OS, not the whole shipped image. dl.gl-inet.com/router/mt3000/ (200) is a JS-rendered download center; could not enumerate its file listing via static fetch, but product/support docs give

Build a portable network

7
First connection
Power on; join its labeled Wi-Fi network or connect to LAN by Ethernet.
Administration
Open 192.168.8.1 in a browser and set an admin password.
Uplink choices
Ethernet WAN, Wi-Fi repeater, USB phone tethering or a cellular USB modem.
Phone tethering
Use a USB data cable, enable tethering on the phone, then connect from the router's Tethering panel.
Cellular prerequisite
Cellular mode needs an external USB modem.
Documented outcome
A repeater connection can provide Wi-Fi for several devices through an upstream hotspot.
Portal behavior
Login Mode is documented for firmware 4.6+; it temporarily suspends some services and switches DNS to automatic.

Firmware and VPN setup

3
Firmware family
Maker supplies OpenWrt-based firmware and links a GL-MT3000-specific download selector.
VPN options
Model guide documents OpenVPN and WireGuard client/server setup.
WireGuard prerequisites
Use a provider's credentials or configuration file; the current guide targets firmware 4.7+ with an older-version selector.
What still needs checking
  • Exact shipping-country plug, regional stock, checkout price and supplied firmware version remain unverified.
  • The firmware selector requires a dynamic interface; no current stable binary/version was verified. Vendor firmware and upstream OpenWrt are separate installation paths.
  • Package list names a power adapter and converter but does not separately itemize a detachable USB power cable. Do not promise an extra cable.
  • External modem/phone compatibility, captive-portal operation, Wi-Fi range, VPN throughput and power-bank operation require setup-specific testing.
  • Firmware menus differ across releases. Portal login can suspend services; do not imply that VPN protection remains active throughout authentication.
  • The product links a media kit, but readable asset-specific terms were unavailable. Website terms require permission for commercial content reuse; obtain a precise grant before using product photography.
