Here is the summary from AI -
The GL.iNet Flint 3 is designed for simplicity with built-in VPN functionality, while the ASUS RT-BE92U offers high performance and flexibility, making it suitable for users who want more control over their network settings. Each router has its strengths, so the choice depends on whether you prioritize ease of use or advanced features.
My previous experience with Asus Routers (since AC68U) has been solid. Also AsusWRT (with excellent support of Merlin AsusWRT) will allow longer support.

The Asus RT-BE92U can also run Merlin firmware which some folks on Reddit say makes the router work better. So if you buy the Asus RT-BE92U be sure you test it right away and try different firmware if necessary. If it still performs poorly, return it and get something else!

It's fantastic to hear this router (which was hobbled with quirky Asus firmware) can perform so well using Merlin firmware.

Also, not sure if I have bad luck with the hardware, or I have a bad firmware version (I did a firmware update a couple months ago) but my Flint 3 constantly drops connection. I'm not home often, so I haven't been able to troubleshoot, but I can say if I'm doing something on my phone I'll drop connection about every 5 minutes. It rarely lasts more than 15 seconds, but it's annoying af.
Overall I think I'll really appreciate this router, but I need to work through some headaches to get there.
