Flint 3

Keep in mind that GL.iNet doesn't run 'vanilla' OpenWrt; it's a proprietary fork. If you want a pure native experience, MediaTek-based devices (like the Flint 2 (AX), beryl AX) are usually the better bet for driver compatibility. While the newer Wi-Fi 7 models like the Flint 3/3e/4 (soon) have Qualc

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.

As much as I love Unifi I would probably suggest a GL-iNet Flint 2 or Flint 3 for friends and family that don't need a full Unifi stack. They run on Openwrt and the hardware is pretty good, and they're more affordable than Ubiquiti. The only real benefit I can see for setting up friends or family wi

Get a GL-iNet Flint 2 or Flint 3, get rid of that netgear garbage, they used to be decent but the current stuff sucks.

BPI-R4 (MT7988), most powerful but not recommended for Wi-Fi due to Wi-Fi NIC issues. GL.iNET Flint 2 (MT7986), currently best supported device for Wi-Fi. BPI-R3 (MT7986), like Flint 2 but with SFP. Flint 2's Wi-Fi will be better though as it is not a dev board. Flint 3 (Qualcomm IPQ 53xx), for Wi-F

Appreciate the giveaway GL.iNet! I’ve loved my Flint 3, but seeing the specs on the Flint 4 has me hyped!

I believe most of them still have web ui available for configuring settings. Some of them make it a pain to do initial setup without an app though, for example my last Netgear Nighthawk you could set it up from the we ui but they were strongly pushing you to do it with the app and it was a pain to b

GL iNet uses a modified version of OpenWRT (open source operating system) for their routers. The one in the Flint 3 is a more modified version due to their choice of a Qualcomm chip processor over their traditional choice of a MediaTek processor. Qualcomm chips by their closed-source nature isn't we

Yeah, I added SQM to my GL.iNet Flint 2 and Flint 3 routers. It's necessary to game on cellular gateways. Edit: who's down voting support for SQM? Why? If you have a better way, please enlighten us. If you simply disagree, have you tried it? Do you automatically assume cellular isn't worthy of gamin

Perhaps take a look at the GL.iNET Flint 2. Stock form it should be able to do what you want but with mainline OpenWRT it will be supported for a long, long time. Note that I didn't say the Flint 3 because it doesnt have the mainline OpenWRT support (at present).
