Flint 2

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.

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.

GL.iNet Flint 2 (MT-6000) all day and twice on Sunday. https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl-mt6000

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

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

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.

I'm very happy with GL.iNet GL-MT6000(Flint 2) you should check it out as well.

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
