Our verdict
A dual-SIM 5G router running OpenWrt-based firmware, with Wi-Fi 6, multi-WAN failover and WireGuard/OpenVPN. It is for people who want control and failover (Home Assistant on a rural line, or a caravan), and it is expensive, with 5G coverage and a SIM plan still to pay for. Overkill for ordinary home use.
What can Home Assistant control on the GL.iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000)?
No core Home Assistant integration. The community HACS project ha-glinet-router polls GL.iNet routers' local RPC endpoint for device tracking and is documented for several GL.iNet models; I did not verify the GL-X3000 or the current firmware, so local control is not claimed.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the GL.iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000) work with Home Assistant locally?
- Partly. The GL.iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000) connects to Home Assistant through a community integration installed through HACS (glinet), which relies on the GL.iNet cloud.

- The GL.iNet Spitz AX (GL-X3000) uses Wi-Fi. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly. GL.iNet's own hub is not required when you integrate through a community integration installed through HACS (glinet).
