Based on 1 year's data from Feb 24, 2026 How it works
Ohh, doh, I thought it was the other way around. It does look like they dropped 6Ghz on the 3e.
Very stable, raw performance and VPN speed - the Flint 2 is the winner due to its faster 2.0 GHz CPU and superior VPN processing power (up to 900 Mbps WireGuard speeds). It is also silent due to passive cooling. Flint 3e = Flint 3 minus 6GHz band.
Yes. They are good. Plentiful of great features like VPN server (Wireguard), built in Adguard etc. I’m currently testing the Flint 3e and it is working great with no issues since I received the beta version.
It’s a another release of Flint series WiFi 7 with only dual band. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be6500/ Beta testers usually get the early release model of the product before they release it to public.
You beat me to it. The GL-iNet Flint 2 is fancy enough with the price to features ratio. I am using both Flint 2 and 3e and they are both stable and signal strength and speed are somewhat similar.
We probably have similar sized house and used to have 2x ruckus h510 enterprise access point but when i discovered the GL-inet I was converted. Currently using Flint 3e and it’s been rock solid too. Both the Flint 2 and 3e. Some people say the Flint 3 is a bit unstable but i believe a firmware update had fixed it.
Not for good, look at Gl.inet if you want the most amazing and opensource routers, Flint 2, 3 and it's travel routers as slate 7, (look at them in YouTube) are at own level, better than Synology at each parameters, with extreme software capabilities, and easy to manage but not less powerful neither locked in anyway (os is an skin on too openwrt but also compatible with official openwrt releases), if you need sdwan, vpn-whatever (even tor), bland, multiple segregated networks etc is ts they right stuff, I'm very impressed (I come from Mikrotik).
Rolling with a Flint 3 from GL.iNet and no regret so far.
GLinet Flint 3 or 2 Both are rock solid
Using 2 x Flint3 … first as router second as AP… wired… fast roaming setup pretty decent speeds
I bought the Flint 3 on black friday, I am very happy with it.
\+1 for GLinet, I have the flint 3 - this is from my 6E phone. I have MLO WiFi 7 on my desktop and can do 2.5gbps to my NAS https://preview.redd.it/f29hceis3vgg1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3b37419715709b5c697af1e9871cf7434105ea6
