Community Reviews
The Flint 3e is a Wi Fi 7 router with GL.iNet's custom OpenWrt based firmware and a strong firewall, aimed at buyers who want newer wireless features in a compact home router. The Qualcomm CPU and MLO support are called out as positives, and the tri band version is described as especially capable for broader coverage. The main concerns are weaker OpenWrt support than the Flint 2, possible long term support questions, and reports of poor Wi Fi on the three band model. Checkout pricing also appears inconsistent, with totals ranging from about $117 to $146.
Common Questions (4)
It adds Wi‑Fi 7, but it is also described as a step down from the Flint 2 because of a slower processor and reduced OpenWrt support from the Broadcom-based 3-series platform. If OpenWrt flexibility matters more than newer wireless features, the Flint 2 is the safer pick.
The 3-band version is described as either excellent or poor depending on the setup, with one report calling the Wi‑Fi "garbage" and another calling it awesome with a strong firewall and MLO support. If Wi‑Fi quality is your top priority, the Flint 2 is repeatedly suggested as the better choice.
It can, but the checkout total varies by account and saved shipping details. One checkout showed $131.99 minus a $15 coupon for $116.99, while another showed $161 with only $15 off for a $146 total.
It may be sufficient if placed centrally, especially for a 300 Mbps connection where raw throughput is not the bottleneck. The question raised is about coverage rather than speed, so a central placement and your home layout will matter most.
