GL-BE9300 (Flint 3) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router, High-Speed 6GHz Gaming WiFi Router for Wireless Internet, Long Range, 5 x 2.5G VPN Routers for Fiber Optic Modem, Computer Routers, Home & Business

Excelente router. Very fast Wi-Fi. Setup was very easy. I use OpenVPN and Wireguard. Both were easy to set up with really nothing to configure. I asked my VPN provider for a configuration file with my streaming IP and I dragged and dropped the file in the corresponding place and tapped on start, easypeasy. They have an app to monitor and make changes to the settings. The MLO is very nice. My Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra supports this and it's super fast and because it supports 3 bands, it's has very good range. Even though it's kind of pricey, it packs a lot of bang for the buck, especially with the OpenVPN and Wireguard throughput. I have 500 up and down and I'm getting Wireguard speeds of 350 up and down, OpenVPN speeds of 250 up and down. So I'm pretty happy.

First time buying GL.Inet. Most recently used a Netgear RS100 which suffered from random connection drops and has an extremely slow UI/app. In comparison, Flint 3 has an extremely responsive UI, no setup app required, just login to the router IP address. No phone app to setup was key for me as the Netgear app was terrible. Essentially works right out of the box. On my 1Gbps service, 5ghz gets to 750mpbs, 6ghz gets to 950mbps. Also has built in AdGuard which seems to work well. Other apps as well such as VPN. Haven't had any dropped connections, and range through wood/drywall is good.

I replaced my Eero 6+ with the GL.iNet Flint 3, and the difference is incredible. The speed and coverage are noticeably better, and the connection feels rock-solid even with multiple devices streaming and gaming at the same time. One of the biggest advantages is the level of control you get. Unlike the Eero, which locks you into a more limited ecosystem, the Flint 3 gives you advanced features like built-in AdGuard for ad-blocking, powerful VPN support, and customizable settings that are easy to manage through its interface. Setup was simple, but it also offers tons of flexibility if you want to dig deeper and fine-tune things. Build quality is excellent, and I can already tell this router is built for the long haul. If you’re coming from an Eero or another consumer mesh system and want something with more power, privacy, and control, the Flint 3 is absolutely worth the upgrade.

Best router I have ever had. Setup very easy, all 2.5gbe and wireless 7 makes me feel generations ahead of my old router with openWRT. The interface is familiar but it’s easy to use. I think given the performance and range it’s a fantastic value compared to a closed source router which will have an end to firmware updates. It was cheaper than the closest openWRT quad core which didn’t have the wireless 7 chip, I sent back a wireless 7 access point that was almost as much. I’m in a small apartment but there are different transmit settings for range, but in a small apartment I get excellent coverage. It’s arm so it uses little power, either open source at the core, it’ll have a long lifespan as it’s a next generation platform with connectivity or 4x lan 2.5gbe, 1 wan 2.5… I have gig wireless, so I’d be at the edge of a 1 gig connection, but the time I need a new router this one will do all I need. The usb port has a 6tb external drive for blu rays to stream over Ethernet and WiFi, it’s also a local cloud, I might get a usb raid drive and use desktop backup software. So a lot of connectivity.

Great performance, but know that you are not getting 100% vanilla OpenWRT on this router. Although it does ship with an OS based upon OpenWRT, this has proprietary drivers as part of the QSDK-kit this is based upon. I has a really specific use-case for this device, which the default UI doesn't support out of the box. Luckily I was able to install LUCI through the UI, and that addressed some of the multiple VLAN configuration steps I was looking for, but I had to end up doing a large part of the configuration from the SSH command line using "uci set" commands. The default UI is probably fine for your average user, but just know that things get a little more challenging for advanced OpenWRT uses.

I waited a few weeks to get a good feel before writing review. Note, this is from the perspective of a IT network guy who needs nothing fancy other than stable and fast wifi while segregating IoT devices onto different subnet for security. As a replacement for my tried and true ASUS RT-AC68U running Merlin firmware, this thing is mostly good and gets the job done! Pros: 900mbps+ throughput is close to ISP limit of 1gbps up and down. 2.5gbps ethernet ports, if you care about big internal file transfers. Admin UI is very clean (OpenWRT based) and good for beginners. Stable and strong signal distance coverage, about same as my old ASUS. Two subnets are allowed. One for LAN, one for Guest network. Each is assigned different IP range with DHCP server. This is actually brilliant because you can enable Guest on 2.4, 5, 6ghz ranges and they will all be on the same Guest network. Cons: Even with Luci admin UI installed, it really lacks easy access to advanced settings like real-time CPU stats, network throughput, etc. Yes you can find some of that by clicking around, but not very cohesively. Wifi7 is disabled by default in OpenWRT. Luci's wifi channel analysis also does not work at all. It just scans forever and then session expires even when you are actively using it.

Easy to setup, downloaded app and well is working fine. Setup in one location packed in suitcase for other house, did use same SSID and password but had to reconnect all devices cameras etc but was expecting since it was time for the old system to go!! I am pleased with the router, range, I replaced very old 2 box mesh system and so far I have all ring cameras even in the back of house connected to this router located in the living room and is a cement wall house so figured would need an extender but not required so range for me is good.

Fantastic upgrade — super fast and reliable! Picked up the GL.iNet Flint 3 recently, and I’m seriously impressed. Setup was quick and easy — the interface is clean, and it gives you way more control than your typical consumer router. The WiFi 7 speeds are no joke; everything in my house runs smoother, from gaming to streaming 4K video. The tri-band setup is great too — the 6GHz band handles my gaming rig perfectly, while all the smart devices chill on the 2.4 and 5GHz bands without slowing anything down. 2.4 and 5GHz bands signal strength is strong throughout the whole house, even through a couple of walls. 6GHz falters quickly the further you get away, that is expected with 6GHz though. I also love that it supports advanced features like VPN, AdGuard, and all the custom firmware options GL.iNet is known for. It’s powerful but still user-friendly. Overall, this thing is a beast for the price — fast, stable, and packed with features. Highly recommend if you want pro-level performance without spending a fortune!

Compré el GL.iNet GL-BE9300 (Flint 3) y la verdad estoy muy contento con él. Es un router potente, rápido y con muchas funciones avanzadas. Se nota que está pensado para usuarios que quieren tener control total de su red. La conexión Wi-Fi va muy bien, tiene buena cobertura y estabilidad incluso con varios dispositivos conectados. Los puertos de 2.5 Gbps son un plus si tienes fibra rápida o NAS. Además, el sistema basado en OpenWrt permite instalar cosas como Tailscale, WireGuard, AdGuard Home o montar una VPN en minutos. En resumen, es un router muy completo y fiable, ideal para quien quiere algo más que lo típico de los routers comerciales. Si te gusta trastear, tener tu propia VPN o usarlo como centro de red doméstica, el Flint 3 es una gran elección
