Been running it since late 2023, can confirm it's fantastic.
Kinda wish it was at least Wifi6e, but I'm sure I'll get at least several more years out of it regardless.

this is a really bad "staff deal" attempt to dump ewaste on people, the flint 3 is coming out this month with wifi 7, multi wan and all Ethernet ports are 2.5g that you can pre-order for $159, if you click on super early bird which is sold out, you would know the super early birds got the flint 3 for only $119 https://store-us.gl-inet.com/prod...gJqzvD_BwE warning to pet1700, do not attempt to reply and tell me flint 2 is more powerful than flint 3 like you did here https://slickdeals.net/f/18360052-gl-inet-gl-mt6000-flint-2-wifi-6-router-2-x-2-5g-multi-gig-ports-4-x-1g-ethernet-ports-127-00 or you will be blocked for scamming

what are you talking about? the flint 2 is more powerful than flint 3. Did you not take 5 minutes to research or simply say that flint 3 has wifi 7 and thus must be better?

Here is a comparison...flint 3 has slower processor, weaker wifi outside of wifi 7

Like I said before, unless you really need wifi 7, the flint 2 is better overall...plus no running fan to keep it cool

Here's a more detailed breakdown:Flint 2 (GL-MT6000)

ros:Faster WireGuard VPN speeds (up to 900Mbps).Potentially better Wi-Fi performance on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.More powerful CPU compared to Flint 3 (MediaTek Quad-core, 2.0 GHz).Cons

lder Wi-Fi standard (Wi-Fi 6).Slower Ethernet ports compared to Flint 3 (2 x 2.5Gbps + 3 x Gigabit).No Wi-Fi 7 support. Flint 3 (GL-BE9300)

ros:Wi-Fi 7 capabilities for faster speeds and wider bandwidth. All 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports. Potential for future-proofing with Wi-Fi 7. Cons:Slower WireGuard VPN speeds (around 680Mbps). Potentially weaker CPU (Qualcomm Quad-core, 1.5GHz). May have Wi-Fi performance limitations on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands compared to Flint 2. May require active cooling (fan).

I didn't even reply to your comment and you actually monitor every flint deals to post spams, so predictable scammer, how is 2.5g ethernet slower than 1g? and fans? how hard is it to put a laptop cooler under a router? use your brain, you are basically telling people to waste money on ewaste if they already have or will get multi gigabit internet in the future and get restricted speed due to slower lan and their phones with wifi7 from 2 years ago is restricted on wifi6, blocked

Based on recent user discussions and official documentation, the GL.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) router may be experiencing delays and performance issues, particularly regarding Wi-Fi speed and connection stability. Here's a summary of the reported issues:Slow Wi-Fi Speeds and Range: Users have reported significantly lower Wi-Fi speeds and reduced range compared to the Flint 2, according to Reddit discussions. One user even experienced speeds as low as 5 Mbps on a 200 Mbps connection.Connection Dropping/Instability: Some users have reported frequent disconnections and reconnections with devices, requiring them to connect to a different network before rejoining the Flint 3's Wi-Fi.Bufferbloat: There are reports of bufferbloat being significantly worse on Flint 3 Wi-Fi compared to Flint 2, leading to higher latency.Potential CPU Limitations: Some users speculate that the Flint 3's Qualcomm A53 CPU may be a bottleneck, hindering its ability to fully utilize Wi-Fi 7 features and deliver on the promised 10Gbps aggregated throughput.Subpar Performance Compared to Flint 2: Several users are expressing disappointment with the Flint 3, finding its performance, especially in terms of Wi-Fi range and speed, to be inferior to the previous Flint 2 model.Firmware and Software Issues: Some users have reported problems with setting up multiple SSIDs, according to the GL.iNet forum, and that firmware updates haven't yet resolved all the reported issues.
