Other than WiFi 7 and the 2.5GbE ports, the Flint 3 is a downgrade from the Flint 2. Due to the less powerful CPU, VPN throughput is slower on the Flint 3 and does not support open source OS like OpenWRT. If neither of that matters to you, get the Flint 3 for the WiFi 7 and 2.5GbE ports.

Great price for a top notch router. VPN integration is a big thing with people but one other selling point is the adguard integration. Amazon is trying to push updates to their fire stick OS to block sideloading apps.
Source:https://9to5google.com/2025/11/12...deloading/

Now I am not one to advocate sailing the high seas because it is very bad. Very, very bad.

But if you go to the interface of the router (usually 192.168.8.1) -> Applications -> Adguard Home -> Click Settings Page link (or type in 192.168.8.1:3000)

Go into Filters -> Custom Filtering Rules and type in the urls you want to block. Format is like this ||Type url here^

Everything between the || and ^ will be filtered. Think of those two symbols like wildcard operators in python or the "like" operator in SQL.

You can google the urls that amazon may or may not use to update the firestick. Once you block updates, you will be golden. Or you can get an onn 4k plus. I feel like once amazon really clamps down, people will move to other streaming sticks.

tl;dr this router is the tits and is also a great warship for sailing the high seas.

not secure

Expand on that please? Is it because they're HK based? Still an issue if I was going to run DDWRT?

Not sure who will buy this router when cruise ships don't allow routers on board anymore.

This isn't a travel router, it's a home router. And while cruises have banned travel routers there's nothing they can do to prevent their use. Internet on cruises is a scam and a ripoff anyways. Even sharing one paid plan is a total ripoff. We carried a small $20 GL.iNet travel router connected to a battery pack and kept it in my wife's purse and nobody knew.

Yes, this supports OpenWRT.

Quote from mrromero577 :
Can these be used as a Mesh style for larger properties? Would it make sense to buy two of these instead of one Flint 3?
No, this unit will not support mesh out of the box. I do not know if there are 3rd party plugins that will allow it or if the hardware even supports it.

Why would you think people are getting this for use on cruise ships? This is a ridiculously large router to be used as a portable device.

I have the basic cable WiFi/router combo from optimum, can I use this? If I do, can I use it in place of the Optimum unit? Not sure how that works

Yes, OpenWRT and Tomato64 are available. This router have dual GLiNet GUI and OperWRT snapshot. The GLiNet is much friendly GUI like Asus. The DD-WRT may be available in the future. This router don't support AiMesh, but 2nd router can be use as repeater.

If you don't need a lot of power (throughput), I'm not sure spending that much on this router is a great buy when you can install openwrt (the firmware this router is based on) on lots of routers on facebook marketplace. Sometimes you even get lucky with a fairly good quad core used router with lots of ram, that's almost as good as this for $20.

Even users that need VPN and adblockers can run things just fine on a well spec $20 router. People sell routers without really knowing what's in them.

$20 definitely sounds great but why trust the center of your home network to some router someone did who knows what with. Also this particular brand makes a lot of things much easier like Nord integration which to make your own configuration manually is relatively horrible and time consuming if you even get thru it all.

You would still need to connect this to your cable modem via ethernet cable. Once you do that, you should be golden. So yes it will work. I am not sure if optimum is charging you for use of their modem but if they are, you can buy your own modem and set it up. Its not too hard to do.

A tip, once you connect the ethernet cable, disconnect the power cord to the modem and give it a few minutes for the router to recognize the cable internet. For some reason, some units have that quirk. The Glinet app also does a good job of walking you through setup.

Can anyone comment on the range for this? I currently have a TP-Link XE75 Mesh system, but the lack of OS customization is a big problem for me. My homes a single floor, 3 bedroom, 1,600 sqft home
