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.

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

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

1000% the GL-iNet Flint 3. The software on most consumer routers makes me want to throw things, they are so locked down and useless. GL-inet uses openwrt with a nice skin on top of it. So, so, sooooo many features. Absolutely any weird network setup you want to do, the Flint 3 can do it. And it supp

If you're not planning on having multiple APs and you're not planning on doing a full Unifi stack where you're buying into the whole ecosystem then you might consider a GL-iNet Flint 3e instead, it's more affordable and consumer friendly while still giving you the option go go into the advanced UI a

I wanted to isolate a server and put it behind a VPN. So I bought the Flint 3 and connect its WAN to the LAN of the Netgear RS700. Then I used LuCi and configured the firewall so that VPN users are unable to reach anything else on the network. The Netgear has a static route to the Flint. The Flint 3

It took me a few minutes to understand this response. UI = ui.com (Company is Ubiquiti and UniFi is their product line of networking equipment) One of the most popular features in UI is how easy it is to build VLANs and "dumb AP" mode. Dump AP mode meaning the APs will just mimic/enable/transmit the

The Flint 2 is a great option if you know your way around networking. https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-MT6000-Multi-Gig-Connectivity-WireGuard/dp/B0CP7S3117 It gives you tons of control since it's running the free and open source router OS, OpenWRT. And it's under $150, maybe less if you find one u

I would go with the GL-iNet Flint 3 over anything netgear or tp-stink offers and even over asus. It comes with open source firmware out of the box with a consumer friendly UI that gets you a lot of features while keeping things fairly simple but also allows you to go into the advanced options and ac

1000 NBN is slightly over provisioned, if you have capable hardware you might get ~1100Mbps, not a huge deal if you only have 1Gbps hardware, you'll just cap at mid-high 900's instead. GL-iNet have the Flint 2 and Flint 3Running a customised OpenWRT out of the box and from what i hear can be over wr
