GL-BE9300 Flint 3 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router 5 x 2.5G VPN Router

Amazing router that does literally everything that it advertises it’s doing. The app is a very strong app and it has cloud connectivity just in case you’re not on network so you can manage a lot of different things just from the cloud. It’s easy to set up and it has very good range and given the Wi-Fi seven aspect of it. It has line of site hardwire Wi-Fi speeds which for me can hit up to 2 GB symmetrically. It’s quite funny to have other tech people come into my house and not know what router that is because the company is not crazy popular and be very impressed by it. I can’t recommend it enough if you need just a router. My personal only gripe with it has been that it doesn’t do matter over Wi-Fi so it doesn’t have any sort of matter radios in it so I had to buy an extra external matter hub to do that. But I do think that’s a pretty specific use case and is easily worked around and does not diminish the quality of this router whatsoever. GL.iNet likely has a customer for life between the Flint three and the Flint two.

The GL.iNet GL-BE9300 (Flint 3) has been an outstanding upgrade for my home network. Setup was quick and easy, and the user interface is intuitive, even for users who aren’t networking experts. The tri-band WiFi 7 performance is excellent, delivering fast speeds, low latency, and reliable coverage throughout my home. It handles multiple devices simultaneously without any noticeable slowdowns, making it perfect for streaming, gaming, video calls, and smart home devices. I also appreciate the advanced features and customization options available for power users, while still being simple enough for everyday use. The build quality feels solid, and the router has been stable and dependable since day one…. If you’re looking for a future-proof router with excellent performance and features, the Flint 3 is an easy recommendation. Highly recommended! Security is great and great value ….

2.4/5/6ghz WiFi 7, open-wrt (Linux) firmware by default, easy to use and configure, feature packed, dedicated IoT network, fast as hell, great range. This is the one. Buy it and you're good for years.

Get this is you want a super reliable 2.5G router with WiFi 7, 6Ghz, adguard, vpns, and about every feature that any home or small business user would want. Do not get this if you want really good WiFi range. It is usable but not great. The WiFi will cover my 2000ish sqft house with the router in the very center of the house, but just barely. If the router was nearer one end of the house it would not come anywhere near covering it. This router has about half of the wifi range of my ISP provided TMobile modem/router. Also if you want to use the USB 3 port to setup an external hard drive or thumb drive as a basic NAS the speeds are not great. Transfers can spike to like 100mb/s, but after a second they drop to about 30mb/s. I have tried several different drives, even ones that have speeds of 200mb/s+ when connected directly to my PC, all do about 30mb/s connected to this router. I tested this with drives formatted in NTSF, EXT4, and exFAT, it did not seems to effect the speeds. Perhaps this is something they they can improve through a firmware update at some point. Overall I am pretty happy with the router. It has been a very solid 2.5G router, I have had zero issues with long 260MB/s transfers to and from my home nas. I think that it restarted itself once in the month that I have been using it. The interface is excellent and it can do basally anything that you would want. Very easy to use adguard and vpns, I have been using it with PIA, it has been working very well, I have not really even noticed any decrease in speed or increase in latency, although I am sure there was some impact. Other then the limited range wifi is pretty solid, 6GHz works well and is certainly faster then 5Ghz, but you have to be pretty close to the router to get all that high of speeds due to the weak Wifi. WiFI 7 is pretty cool, it works with most old devices they just run on the bands that they support. The only device that I have that does not work with it is a 7+ year old Amazon Kindle paperwhite, and I can just connect it to the straight 2.4ghz band. Also I like that this company seems committed to very long term firmware support Overall a good router, but falling short of being great mostly from the poor wifi range. If they could improve their antennas or something and get like 50% more range it would be pretty great. Also this is a fairly minor complaint but I really feel like the USB 3 port is too slow at 30MB/s to be all that usable for a NAS storage device, it really needs to be able to handle something like 100MB/s sustained speeds. The main reason why the poor range on this router really bothers me is because my old router, the one provided to me with my TMobile Home internet has really exceptional range. It can be at one end of the house and easily reach though the whole house 50ft through like 5 walls to the other end of the house. It also reaches like 100-150ft out into the yard. It was made by Nokia so I guess it makes since that they would really know how to make some exceptional antennas. While this router placed in the very center of the house just barely covers the whole house, and does not really reach out into the yard at all, so it has less then half of the range of the old router. I live out of town so this is not from interference. So I think that the antennas on this router are just not very good. Overall a decent router and recommended if you do not mind the mid WiFi range.

This is an amazing router. After relying on my ISP for a router which they controlled, having the freedom and power of this router is amazing. The web ui is intuitive and the openWRT software is excellent as well. So far the range is great and the flexibility to reserve IPs and list connections is great. There are additional features as well that I have yet to explore. Great router for the money!

When I purchased this router, I had never heard of them in the past but it had many pretty great reviews. Well so far they have all been great. This is a complicated router and I'm not that tech savy. The team from GL.iNet have been so helpful with the entire set up and I'm up and going and having no problems. I wish all customer service was as helpful as they have been. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and probably going to get some type of range extender. Great experience so far and looking to work with them again in the future, I have so many questions.

Slick UI on top of openWRT, easy VLAN tagging, easy repeater mode, easy LAN setup, adguard integrated, and more. I can't believe I lived without it until today. Replace your garbage Quantum or Centurylink or Cox main wifi pods with this beast and retake control of your life!

Pro's: It is basically OpenWRT (no LuCI, so not perfect), and you actually own your router. It's actually wifi 6E, and surprisingly fast. I was delighted that I could SSH directly in and everything just worked, out-of-box. Con's: Wifi 6E appears to be 2x2 (so slightly worse coverage). Major flaws: The LAN ethernet ports on this really struggle to connect to 1GBe networks, maybe my unit is defective, but I had to add a switch between my router and the rest of my network so my devices could talk through some of the links. I've never had an issue with any other routers, but I think something is legit wrong with the ethernet ports on this box.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this device, the fact that it has tri-band 2.4/5/6 for such a reasonable price is a plus. Lastly, the company is honest and upfront, they don’t over promise on things they cannot do and can do. which is why the OS that is installed (OPEN-WRT) is open source so you are free to do what you want via Luci advanced menu if you want a feature that isn’t readily available.

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!

I finally upgraded our home network to the GL.iNet Flint 3, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. With all the smart devices, tablets, and phones connected in our house, our old router was seriously struggling, but this Wi-Fi 7 tri-band setup handles everything flawlessly without a single dropped connection or buffer screen. The real selling point for me, though, was the built-in family features. With my son Austin and my 7-year-old daughter getting more active online lately, my wife and I desperately needed an easy way to manage what they can access and when. The GL.iNet interface makes it incredibly simple to set up strict usage schedules, pause the Wi-Fi on specific devices during dinner or homework time, and filter out inappropriate content. It gives us total peace of mind without requiring an IT degree to figure out the settings. Setup was surprisingly quick right out of the box, the coverage easily reaches every corner of our house, and the speeds are blazing fast even when everyone is streaming or playing games at the same time. If you have a busy household and want robust control over your kids' internet usage without sacrificing top-tier performance, this router is a home run. Highly recommended!

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
