Flint 3

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

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

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

GL iNet uses a modified version of OpenWRT (open source operating system) for their routers. The one in the Flint 3 is a more modified version due to their choice of a Qualcomm chip processor over their traditional choice of a MediaTek processor. Qualcomm chips by their closed-source nature isn't we

Perhaps sooner or later, reason and logic will defeat the monetary contributions from Qualcomm. And then the Gl.iNet company will produce a normal Flint 3.1 based on the Mediatek Filogic 880.

Flint 2 at $136. https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-MT6000-Multi-Gig-Connectivity-WireGuard/dp/B0CP7S3117 The Flint 3 is $34 more expensive, but Wifi 7 is only 10-20% faster and it has a weaker CPU. Yes, older devices can still connect to a 6E/7 signal. What ISP package do you pay for, and what modem

This is from a flint 2 vs flint 3 reddit post which I've pasted here: GL iNet uses a modified version of OpenWRT (open source operating system) for their routers.

I loved that router after the N66U aka The Dark Knight. I've been through a few routers, even the Nest and Nest Pro for the giggles. I have settled on the Gl-iNet Flint 2, that thing is a beast. The Flint 3 has had some issues since launch, especially random drops in wireless, plus it does not suppo

If you don’t specifically need Wi-Fi 7, I’d recommend the GL.iNet Flint 2 instead. It has a significantly stronger CPU and can handle CAKE SQM without any issues, which is ideal for eliminating bufferbloat. Overall, it’s a better choice if your main goal is reliable SQM performance rather than the l

Buy a Wifi6 or 7 access point at a store with good return policy and try it out, see what kind of speed you get and if you are happy with it. There could also be solutions like powerline adapters that might work for you. And the GL.iNet Flint 3 was tested in the above video and was pretty much mid-b
