The Spitz AX is the darling of the fixed-wireless enthusiast community — the device you buy when you want serious network control, not just “it works.” Dual SIM, 4 external antenna ports, OpenWrt, and hardware-accelerated WireGuard make it one of the most capable prosumer 5G routers available.
If you plan to run a home network with VPN failover, or you’re building a travel / van rig where you want advanced policy routing, this is hard to beat in its price class.
Pros
- OpenWrt natively — best-in-class VPN, ad-blocking, traffic inspection
- Dual SIM slots with auto-failover
- 4 external antenna connectors for serious MIMO setups
- AdGuard Home, WireGuard / OpenVPN server all built in
- Active security community and frequent firmware updates
Cons
- No mmWave support
- Admin UI aimed at advanced users — steep for first-timers
- WiFi 6 only — not Wi-Fi 7
