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.

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

Perhaps take a look at the GL.iNET Flint 2. Stock form it should be able to do what you want but with mainline OpenWRT it will be supported for a long, long time. Note that I didn't say the Flint 3 because it doesnt have the mainline OpenWRT support (at present).

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

I was super disappointed about the flint 3 not supporting vanilla openWRT. Hopefully flint 4 will be redeeming in that regard? Because if not i'll probably dump GL.iNet and just go with whatever vendor offers the best wifi7 tri-band MLO experience.

"Fun fact: Flint 2 has a fan too, and we never receive any complaint about it." Mh. Okay... [OpenWrt Wiki] GL.iNet GL-MT6000

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
