What it contributes to the stream
This part alone, with every other slot assumed generous and a platform that allows the tier. Your build's real verdict is the lowest ceiling across all its slots, which is what the configurator computes. Conservative planning budgets, not measurements: methodology.
Our take on the GL.iNet Puli (GL-XE300)
The GL.iNet Puli is a small 4G router with a nano SIM slot and OpenWrt, for IRL streamers who want a pocket Wi-Fi network from a data SIM. At a tracked $118.90 it sits at the top of its $101.07 to $118.90 range across three points from August 26 to October 1, 2026.
The listing says up to 30 devices can connect. OpenVPN and WireGuard are pre-installed, and the router has 128MB of RAM. The Wi-Fi is 802.11n, so it is slower than newer Wi-Fi 6 routers. The packet does not list a battery. The price was $18 lower at its low. It has 4.4 across 92 retailer ratings.
