# GL.iNet Mudi 7

> Set up the experimental router integration for wired Wi-Fi capture and supported cellular surveys.

## Check the requirements

The validated baseline is GL-E5800, GL.iNet 4.8.5, kernel 5.15.170-perf and matching stock Wi-Fi driver. Use an app build with **Mudi 7 Capture Support** in Installer. The installer checks model, kernel and driver identity; a firmware label alone is not sufficient.

Physical iPhone installation, scanning and stationary survey checks passed on the documented setup. Physical Android router checks and a walking field test remain open. Build 46 was installed and launched on the lab iPhone; its new USB/reconnect behavior has host tests, not a completed new physical-router QA pass.

## Set up and install capture support

1. Finish GL.iNet's initial router setup and choose its admin password.
2. Connect its data USB-C port to the phone with a data cable. Select **Device** mode in the router's USB prompt, and apply it automatically if offered. Recheck after a reset. Ethernet in LAN mode is an alternative control path.
3. Confirm the phone receives a router-provided address and can reach `192.168.8.1`. A self-assigned `169.254.x.x` address is not a working connection.
4. In Commander **Devices**, connect to the Mudi using its root SSH credentials. Discovery and authenticated connection are separate steps.
5. Open **More → Installer** on iPhone, or **Installer** on Android. Select **Mudi 7 Capture Support → Install**.
6. Wait for **Installed** and **Ready**. No reboot is required. The capture driver is bundled in the app; a different utility baseline may need Internet access.

If Installer says **No Device Connected**, return to Devices and connect first. The router package is not an Apple configuration profile.

## Scan and capture

Select Mudi in the standard AP scanner, Client scanner or capture tool. Start uses monitor mode; Stop restores the hotspot. Validated capture is **20 MHz on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz**. Monitor operation pauses the router's Wi-Fi hotspot, so keep USB/Ethernet connected for control.

For captures, choose **Stream to Device** to save the incoming recording on the phone. Detached recording on the router, wider captures, simultaneous hotspot/monitor use and WPA3 key export are not supported by this integration.

The device's **GL.iNet Tools** also offers ordinary Router Wi-Fi Scan and Hotspot Clients. Those are not the nearby over-the-air Client scanner.

## Outdoor Wi-Fi and cellular surveys

The exact validated RG650V-NA modem and `4.8.5-monitor-v3` package can collect Wi-Fi and cellular observations in one session with verified wired control. The app verifies helper/driver hashes and rejects mismatched dual-mode combinations. Position comes from the phone, not the router. Pause and Stop restore owned radio state before finishing the save.

The stationary iPhone bench test saved and reopened Wi-Fi, LTE/5G and route measurements, and exported both capture segments. This does not establish walking-field performance or support on other GL.iNet models.

## Repair and firmware changes

Stop active work before Repair or Remove. Removing capture support leaves stock utilities and the boot driver in place. After a firmware change, refresh Installer and require a matching supported package. Don't force an incompatible driver installation; normal setup does not require a factory reset.
