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

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.

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).

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

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
