Best router for OpenWRT with 2x 2.5Gbit ethernet ports

From your own shortlist, I've had great experience with the GL.iNet Flint 2. (GL-MT6000). It has 2 * 2.5GbE ports WiFi 6 USB 3.0 It ships with an old version of Openwrt and a custom skin but is an easy flash to vanilla.

In the market for router

For WiFi 6, consider the GL.inet Flint 2, it's a very highly rated router on Rtings. It has OpenWRT preinstalled, so it's highly configurable and highly extensible. It also has vanilla OpenWRT support, so even if GL.inet stops supporting the device, you can keep getting firmware updates from the Ope

Wifi router buying advice

Get a Flint 2, by Gl-iNet. Also, you should know that fast.com tests streaming speeds. You want something else to test like speedtest.net.

🥭Meet Mango 2 (GL-MG1300)

I wonder if you will be able to keep the usual prices for this tier of products, more so considering how much you have gone towards more expensive tiers. I remember your usual home router (Convexa B1300) being 90€/$ back in 2022. Now your usual home router runs at about 150-230€/$ (Flint 2-3-3e) I r

FiOS 5Gig with CHR30A WiFi 7 320 Mhz

Yea Verizon's recent default top end routers are actually crazy powerful and capable for all in one units. Hell, they even beat a lot of prosumer offerings from other brands, and in raw top-end performance they even stomp out Ubiquiti's Dream Router 7 and the Flint 2 and 3 from GL.iNet. Only way to

Flint 3

Bad news, the Flint 3 is Broadcom based, not compatible with OpenWRT and probably will never be. The Flint 2 is MediaTek based and it works great. You still can use it with GL.iNet firmware, tho. EDIT: It's Qualcomm as pointed out. Still, no support for OpenWRT as of now.

I'm looking for hardware suggestion for a router running OpenWrt

If the NanoPi R6S is too expensive/hard to find, you should seriously look at the GL.iNet Flint 2 (MT6000). Don't be fooled by the 'consumer router' shell. Inside, it has the MediaTek Filogic 830 (MT7986), which is a quad-core ARM A53 @ 2.0GHz. If you just want a wired router/firewall, you can simpl
