So after tinkering with it a bit here are some "must do's" if you get this router.

Setup SQM:Network > Network Acceleration > Disable Network AccelerationSystem > Advanced Settings > Install LuciIn Luci -- System > Software > Update List > Install sqm-scripts and luci-app-sqmNetwork > SQM QoS > Enable on Eth1 then specify about 20% less of your current upload/download speed (this will need tweaking but that's a good start)Queue Discipline > cake > layer_cake.qos > DO NOT SQUASH > ECN on both inbound and outboundLink Layer Adaption > Per Packet Overhead (22 for Cable seems to be the sweet spot, can go higher for fiber)
Save & Apply then do a bufferbloat test. I went from a C to an A+ while only sacrificing minimal overall speed. I have a 500Mbps line which hits around 530Mbps in speedtests. I found that 490000 down and 19500 up yielded the best results. But again, this will vary and need some tweaking. There is a "sweet spot" for every connection.

Install AdGuard:
The one that comes stock is lacking in my opinion. But I found a github script that updates it to the latest build, keeps it persistent, and will help you get in to the actual advanced UI

https://github.com/Admonstrator/g...rd-updater

From SSH (cmd prompt > ssh [email protected]) etc.wget -O update-adguardhome.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com...ardhome.sh && sh update-adguardhome.shsed -i "s/--glinet //g" /etc/init.d/adguardhomeservice adguardhome restartNow visit https://192.168.8.1:3000 and you're off and running.
Important Note: SlickDeals shortens that wget statement and breaks it, get it from the github page directly.

At this point in AdGuardHome you'll only see "localhost" in the Query Logs. To fix that go to the routers UI > AdGuard > Enable AdGuard Home Handle Client Requests

Then in AdGuardHome's UI go to Settings > DNS Settings > Go to Private DNS Servers and specify the routers IP (192.168.8.1 by default) and click "Enable reserve resolve of clients' IP address" and now you'll see device hostnames in the query log.

I attempted to set DHCP to be handled by AdGuard many times and it absolutely hates doing it. It worked once, but did not persist through a reboot, but failed in the 3 or 4 tries I gave it otherwise, so I'm giving up on that.

Personally I'd then go ahead and start manually assigning persistent IP's for clients/devices in the routers main UI under Network > LAN then add them to the clients list in AdGuard Settings > Client Settings so it's easier to track them.
Hope that helps!

If you're like me and need your "full download speed" at times and don't want care about bufferbloat at that moment, create an ssh cert, pop it on the router, update your known_hosts on your PC and then create a batch script to handle it for you.

I don't think I can paste the batch file code here, if you need it just DM me.

This is a lot of info. Is there a video of what each of these items do? Just so I can understand. I have this router but haven't installed it yet.

QoS only allows you to assure a singular device gets consistency. The steps above assure the entire network does. If you're the only one using the network, and gaming/streaming then QoS is definitely the right path for you.

I'd heavy encourage you research what it all does/means etc prior to putting in the effort or changing anything using Luci. If you're not super techy then using the default UI for all your adjustments is highly recommended.

I have this router and working solid so far. It is about 380Mb inside and 150Mb 50' away from the house (outside temp 45F). My router temperature is around 35-37C.

looking to upgrade my router just for quest 3 to pc wireless, this seems like a solid option? Is the flint 3 recommended as well? My PC does have a wifi 7 antenna.

I bought a Flint 1 less than a month ago, saw this and wanted to run Plex off of it as the Flint 1 doesn't have enough space to run docker containers unless I add a hub. Flint 2 is faster bigger and more robust. That being said I used my Quest 3 on the Flint 1 via Occulus Link, wired of course works fine, wireless was flawless as well compared to a weaker Dlink I was using. Flint 2 just being overall better should work fine. I just finished setting mine up today so far so good. Returning the Flint 1 but the flint 1 would work for most people's purposes and yours to stream Oculink. I wanted the flint 2 specifically for running it as a Plex to a single user. Returning my flint 1. Both amazing routers.

I believe it only has 8gb of infernal, pray tell what distro are you running in the docker container? I know you can keep it lean with Ubuntu server or Debian headless type setups but I've gotta ask!!

I'm pretty new to the linux based router ecosystem. I used the simplest route I could handle. I installed the docker via the apps and all the other addons docker needed. Then, I installed LuCL on the stock Flint 2. I pulled the imagine via docker from "lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest". The image was around 370mb, then I created the container for plex on my harddrive and had the config/transcode/media on the 22TB usb. Total space used was around 3.5Gb on the internal? It seems to handle single user with no transcode pretty well, I like that I don't need other overhead and I can add and remove files via PC.
