+====== Routers and Modems ======
+Devices that route connections on a network, or receive cable input. These will run a variety of architectures, although MIPS and ARM are very common. Operating systems will range from custom Linux-based OSes, to more conventional OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc. variants.
+===== GL.iNET GL-MT300N =====
+==== Operating Systems (MediaTek MT7628AN MIPS) ====
+=== OpenWRT ===
+>The device runs a custom version of OpenWRT that is easily replaced with a standard release
+Running at only $29.99, this low power little router is easily hacked and useful as a lightweight Linux-based SBC, especially for simple MIPS work.

+===== Quectel LTE EG25-G =====
+==== Operating Systems ====
+=== Linux 3.18.44 (done in PinePhone) ===
+>the modem runs its own OS totally separate from the rest of the PinePhone OS
+While these can be acquired in many devices, for many purposes, it appears that the easiest way to access the underlying Linux firmware is with a PinePhone. Capable of running basic things.

+===== Zhihe series LTE dongles =====
+==== Operating Systems (Qualcomm MSM8916) ====
+=== postmarketOS ===
+>It is recommended to backup the eMMC before flashing
+A surprisingly high amount of postmarketOS' functions work correctly on these little Chinese(?) LTE dongles. SSH, WiFi, mainline, GPS, and more! Very detailed article documenting installing postmarketOS on these.
