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.

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.

Flint 2. I still a good option today?
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

What routers can you configure without an app?
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

Shots fired (back) feat. UTR
From PERSONAL experience trying these devices, yes, I can say that the Mudi 7 is a significantly better product. I have PERSONALLY used WiFi 7 on a certain device while traveling. You seem to think that the only time it is used on hotel WiFi. What about coworking spaces where you can use RJ-45? Some

OpenWrt Two release date? New information?
AFAIK the only info so far is the one from the voting. Spec: * MT7988 * 10G SFP * 5G copper * 4 port 2.5G copper * 1-2 port 1G copper * Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 "Two" will be produced by GL.iNet and we are exploring options for US/EU based distribution. "Two" will (hopefully) be in the 250$ region with yet again

Router recommendation
This is over kill for your current needs but at $135 it's great and will serve well if you do need to expand a bit later. GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2)

GL.iNet Flint 3 or Raspberry Pi 5 (with 2x2.5G Ethernet HAT)?
Since you’re on r/openwrt, I assume you want to run OpenWrt. Just a heads-up: the Flint 3 doesn’t use OpenWrt, it runs a fork on a proprietary Qualcomm SoC and Glinet software. It’s unlikely to ever support native OpenWrt unless Qualcomm releases documentation and an SDK for OpenWrt developers. If y

Aquiss - What router are you using?
GL.iNet Flint 2 - been using it for about 14 months now and it's been rock solid. Runs Open WRT so lots of options and the firmware will be supported for a long time. On that note there seems to have been a Wi-Fi issue with the latest release but this has now (I think) been resolved, I always wait a

Which would you choose? I'm so lost. Flint 3 vs Flint 2
Actually, I am a GL.iNet official employee. Flint 2 has 4x 1G LAN ports. Flint 3 has 4x 2.5G LAN ports. Next time check out our product pages before providing misinformation :) We have many customers achieving faster speeds on their Flint 3 compared to their Flint 2 due to WiFi 7. It is not a moot p
