Currently own a TP-Link XE75, but thinking of switching to a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 Flint 2 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The XE75 has 3 access points, but the features are lacking and I feel like the lack of speed on firmware updates is slow and concerning. I’m looking at the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2), and it’s $136. Can anyone with more tech experience comment or give their thoughts/suggestions about this? TIA!

Mind sharing what the worthwhile differences are between the 3e and the 2? Most seem to push towards the 2 still because it still can use custom OpenWRT firmware. The 3 series had me concerned they might not see as much support down the line.

    Ah, I wasn't up to date with the flint 3 issues. From what I gather, they are using some Qualcomm chip that makes life harder.

    If you are looking to reflash, it seems flint 2 is defiantly the way to go.

    From your original post, it seemed you were looking for more frequent updates, which is why I suggested the newer 3e.

    As for technical differences, 3e has WiFi 7. Beside that, quickly skimming the specs pages, I don't see any other big differences. Is that worthwhile? Probably not.

    I wonder if the upcoming flint 4 will have the same Qualcomm chip, or if they do something different. I also worry they are releasing more products than they can sustain long term.
