The Flint 3e is a WiFi 7 home router aimed at faster 6 gigahertz performance and power users who want to tune settings. It is described as a strong home option, and the FIOS tweak can unlock full 300 by 300 bandwidth after an initial slowdown. The main cautions are that the software feels clunky, the Broadcom chip is not compatible with WRT, and 6 gigahertz range is shorter than the Flint 2's 5 gigahertz reach. It fits best if you want newer wireless features and do not mind some setup work.
Common Questions (5)
The Flint 2 offers better 5GHz range and speeds thanks to 4x4 MIMO, while the Flint 3e is aimed at Wi‑Fi 6E/7 devices on 6GHz, which has shorter range but higher potential speeds. The Flint 2 is also described as the better long-term choice if Wi‑Fi 6E support is not important for your devices.
It can need a settings change on FIOS to reach full speed. One setup initially delivered about half of a 300/300 connection, and the tweak restored full bandwidth, so it is worth checking if your FIOS line seems capped.
No, this model uses a Broadcom chip and is not compatible with WRT. The Flint 2 is the compatible older Wi‑Fi 6 model.
It is positioned more as a power-user router than a plug-and-play option. The software can feel clunky and may not do everything expected, so it is better suited to people already familiar with this type of setup.
Yes. Both models are reported cheaper on AliExpress shipped from a US warehouse, with the Flint 3 around $130 with a promo or coupon.

Hell, even Cisco commercial grade routers are made outside the US. They are from China, Mexico, and more recently, India.
"If you want WiFi7 support then go 3 or 3e.
The Flint 2 offers superior range and speeds on the 5GHz band due to its 4x4 MIMO configuration, while the Flint 3 and 3e are designed for the newer WiFi 6E/7 (6GHz) spectrum, which has a shorter range but offers higher potential speeds for compatible devices."

Few devices that use 6E? My phone and PC from 5-6 years ago both use it and they are mid-low end devices. Wifi 7 is much less common and much less in use. 6E + triband is what I'd be looking for in a modern router. Wifi 7 is wayyy overpriced and largely unnecessary unless for specific use cases.
