GL.iNet are running a sale with the Flint 2 router currently listed for US$132.30 and free shipping.
The coupon takes another $5 off, combined with stronger $AUD, it's a good time to pick one up.
I used Wise and it comes to around $188, may be slightly different if you use a different payment method.
Firmware was released to fix this issue, I believe some had problems with 2.4ghz but again this has now been fixed.
I would go for the Mercusys AX6000 on Amazon for $144 the wifi is so good I don't need my mesh anymore. Edit the price is back up to $158 but still worth it!.
I have a fully wired network at home so the 2*2.5Gbps ports on the MT6000 are more appealing to me.
I have one of these my only regret is I didn't buy one sooner. Had no problems whatsoever, better connectivity in problem areas & I use a tethered phone without issues.
Had one of these and it has been rock solid for me. I've got 42 wireless devices connected to it every single minute (smart home devices) and never had any issues. The phone tethering function save my bacon when my Internet was out for a week when I changed ISP.
Thanks, I ordered and got an email saying it won't post until October 8 due to the holiday and that I have to deal with paying any customs fees, FYI for anyone ordering.
Hmm, pickup one to replace my trusty old trusty old Netgear D6400 or hold out until a reasonable WiFi7 router becomes available?
Flint 3 (or whatever they call it) is anticipated for next year, it is supposed to have wifi 7.
Well I guess it'll hold me over till then and can pass this on to the parents
I bought one some months ago and am very happy. For me, wifi transmission distance is most important and I can connect at 50 to 70 metres through a couple of external walls. Never any issues. It survived a fair number of unplanned power outages. Numerous smart devices connected. All good.
Only drawback is the limited number of 2.5Gig LAN ports.
I bought this during the last sale and have mixed results when compared to the Asus RT-AC86U it replaced. 2.4GHz performance is rock solid and stable but 5GHz is significantly worse in terms of reach. The new router is in exactly the same spot and using the same channels as before but 2 of my PCs at the far end of the apartment just won't connect.
Some people have huge connectivity issues with these. Fwiw my redmi is perfect
