Appreciate the giveaway GL.iNet! I’ve loved my Flint 3, but seeing the specs on the Flint 4 has me hyped!

Should I return Flint 3, and if so what alternative?

No clue what you mean by “there is no reason for a Flint 2”. It’s one of the best performing GL.iNet routers out there.

What router should I get?

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

WiFi version 7 pricing what is going on?

GL.iNet Flint 3 is a fantastic wifi 7 router at $200. Just bought one, very happy with it. The range is huge and the firmware / software on it is feature rich, includes Adguard Home, just toggle the switch. None of those annoying subscriptions, just a great router.

Router Replacement

How fast is your Internet plan? How many square feet/meters is your apartment? Is your current router providing good WiFi coverage? What do you do on the network? Do you have a NAS or a home media server? How many, if any, clients (computers/consoles/TVs) do you (or can you) connect via Ethernet cab

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

Flint 3: Total Downgrade? Why Flint 2 Still Wins. (GL.iNet, Prove Me Wrong!)

OP is correct, some searching I learnt that:- Flint 3 is not a universal upgrade over Flint 2, especially if you value raw CPU or VPN performance. However, if your main need is multi-gig LAN and future Wi-Fi standards, Flint 3 is a substantial upgrade from Flint 1 and is currently the only GL.iNet o

GL iNet Saving me $20 per year with DDNS fees

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

Is a wifi 7 router automatically better than most wifi 6?

Indeed, Gl.iNet has some good products too. The question I have is, Flint 2 (WiFi 6) or Flint 3 (WiFi 7)? There are some threads on Reddit, here’s one example comparing them: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlInet/s/6gp3ZhFohc If I had to choose between those two, I think I’d get the Flint 2. It is $50 les
