Flint 2

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.

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

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.

While the newer Wi-Fi 7 models like the Flint 3/3e/4 (soon) have Qualc

I've had to replace the ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (AX5700) Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router twice at one location for odd behavior that I couldn't get rid of after being used for a few months. It was being used strictly as an Wifi AP behind a different brand firewall but it wouldn't let any of the

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.

It's been talked about on this sub but heres a video from CES 2026: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S74Or0E0iEkhttps://nascompares.com/news/gl-inet-flint-4-wifi7-router-revealed-at-ces-2026/ And here it is on GL.iNet's blog:https://www.gl-inet.com/blog/glinet-debuts-secure-remote-access-for-enterpri
