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.

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

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.

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

I’m a big fan of MediaTek Filogic based routers. The GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) probably being the prime example. It can be flashed straight to OpenWRT. I’m running an Acer Predator W6x (same hardware as the Flint 2) which can be flashed to OpenWRT with some effort.

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

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.
