The Flint 3e is a WiFi 7 home router aimed at faster 6GHz performance and advanced configuration. The GL.iNet interface is praised for making complex settings easier, and LuCI access is available for deeper tweaks. FIOS setups may need a settings change to reach full bandwidth, and the router is described as using GL.iNet's proprietary OpenWrt fork rather than native OpenWrt support. It is a better fit for power users who want newer wireless features and do not mind some setup work.

GL.iNet routers use a proprietary fork of OpenWRT. While it does have an excellent interface that simplifies a lot of advanced configuration options, it also has access to the LuCI configuration page if you want/need it. While a lot of GL.iNet routers do have Native OpenWRT support, the Flint 3 and 3e currently do not have, and may never have, Native OpenWRT support thanks to their Qualcomm chipset. FWIW, I received my Flint 3 two weeks ago and IMO it is an excellent budget router.
