How I installed it (needed to use the sd card for space)

opkg update &&
opkg install block-mount kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage e2fsprogs && \

umount /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkdir -p /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
cp -a -f /overlay/. /mnt/sda1
cat << EOF > /etc/config/fstab
config 'global'
option anon_swap '0'
option anon_mount '0'
option auto_swap '1'
option auto_mount '1'
option delay_root '5'
option check_fs '0'

config 'mount'
option target '/overlay'
option device '/dev/sda1'
option fstype 'ext4'
option options 'rw,sync'
option enabled '1'
option enabled_fsck '0'
EOF
/etc/init.d/fstab enable
reboot

opkg install ar xz xz-utils tar luci-compat libcap wget-ssl

Do the installation steps outlined in the [video](Do the installation steps outlined in the video) (uploaded the ipk etc).

Unfortunately, all I get for the SpeedifyUI is

I like this router because it's small, low power and can be found used for less than $50. My plan was to combine the onboard lte, add a USB modem and then also mix in wifi when available.

GL.iNet Slate AR750 or the Spitz? The non AX versions use MIPS processor which isn't supported by Speedify.

Yep, Mips... that solves that. Thank you. Darn! Mine is MIPS... GL iNet x750 I have the original version, not the version 2.

Got any suggestions for small package and low power?

The Wi-Fi AX versions are all ARM, the Mediatek GL.iNet series may use less power than the qualcomm and is cheaper.
I've had a working report from a Spitz AX user.

The $500 Spitz? Ya, thats a bit rich for me.
GL-E750V2 is a nice package for my use case and is ARM, worth a shot you think?

Yikes yeah that's a lot, Banana Pi R3 Mini has a PCIe slot for a modem that may be cheaper.
The Mudi(v2) is also MIPS.

A Pi Zero 2 with modules also works up to 80 Mbit.

The Pi Zero is interesting. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Speedify mentioned that they are going to release MIPS support soon, so the old Slate and tons of other routers could probably work well at low/streaming speeds.

IDK if the processor in the AX750 can handle it but that would be cool.

Did they mention a potential ETA? This AX3000 is power hungry, relatively speaking. I'm tweaking the settings and getting that lower but it's also twice the size.
