Hi All,

Good day everyone, just want to ask some opinions between these 2 models of GL.iNet Flint Routers.
Which are best in terms opensource driver support on wifi and gargoyle support between these 2 models?
-----------------------------------
GL.iNet Flint 3 BE9300
GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2)
-----------------------------------

Thanks

Flint3 is a no go for open source unfortunately.
Doesn’t mean it’s not a great device while running the GLiNet firmware, but pretty much a dead end for OpenWrt or Gargoyle.

Flint2 is still an excellent device.

The 2nd router released by the OpenWrt Project (“OpenWrt Two”) is rumoured to be partnered with GLiNet to produce it. Might see that in the next 12 months, I’d keep an eye out.
