    It's not bad price..Just bare in mind Flint 3 with wifi 7 is coming early 2025.

    • nikoris on 25/12/2024 - 17:59

      And when Flint 3 comes out you'll tell them to wait for the price to drop

      • Trishool on 25/12/2024 - 18:24

        And by the time the price drops, the release of Flint 4 would've been announced.

        • OriginalDan on 26/12/2024 - 02:25

          the bates 4000 this will knock the shit out of your ass

      • dingdong3000 on 25/12/2024 - 18:39

        It has been under $190 fare few times direct from glinet this year

    • daft009 on 25/12/2024 - 18:07

      I'm still using flint 1.. thanks might upgrade when flint 3 is out

    • Cheaperthanever on 25/12/2024 - 20:01

      it will be much more expensive.

      Eh, almost no devices are wifi 7 capable.. Further, how long will critical bugs take to fix? How long will openwrt support take? Will there be major draw backs? This router has substantial standing and is more than future proof for years to come.

    • chickendog on 25/12/2024 - 20:03

      With GLinet and OpenWRT devices you benefit from some aging as the software takes time to fully harness the hardware and iron out the bugs.
      So I'd argue now is a great time to buy the Flint 2 - especially been lovng mine lately on op24 firmware.

  • bboz on 25/12/2024 - 18:27

    Can this integrate with Deco M5 mesh devices?

    Can this be configured to use VPN client, such as Nord VPN, PIA, or Mullvad?

    • rashn on 25/12/2024 - 18:34

      Yes to the VPN services, it runs full OpenWrt, so anything OpenWrt can do, this can do.

    • LeoSpaceman on 25/12/2024 - 20:56

      Keen to understand integration with Deco M5s as well. I can’t get my Deco set to work in Access Point mode and am having issues where speed is <100mbps on Wifi despite having a 1000mbps service.

      Would something like this plus the Decos solve my issue?

      • Clear on 25/12/2024 - 21:22

        A bit of Googling shows that a lot of people are having issues where the Deco M5 will restrict the LAN ports to 100Mbps when using ethernet backhaul in AP mode. I haven't searched enough to see if there is a solution.

    Anyone tried using the GBE lan ports for WAN, to leave 2.5GbE between 2 clients?

    • rashn on 25/12/2024 - 18:43

      You would have to be comfortable with using LuCI to do it but i don't see why you couldn't

      • MasterScythe on 25/12/2024 - 19:10

        I usually prefer cli, but I can use LuCI.

        Cool, so long as its happy doing so.

    • landspider on 25/12/2024 - 20:59

      Depends on the internal switch configuration, but I would assume so.

    • churlish on 25/12/2024 - 21:01
      +1

      Yes, works great.

      In LuCI:

      Network > Interfaces > WAN - Edit
      Change Device to LAN5.

      Network > Devices tab > br-lan - Configure.
      Untick LAN5 and tick eth1.

      Voila

  • sween64 on 25/12/2024 - 18:50

    Would this be good for a 3 storey townhouse?

    • shutuptakemymoney101 on 25/12/2024 - 20:05

      No, bricks are probably a better building material to use.

    • h0mbre on 25/12/2024 - 20:06

      I assume your question is regarding wifi and if so then I would say no.

      I have one and love it but got it to use as a router and had no intention of using it for wifi.

      In the cases I have used it, it’s very fast when close to it but the range is weak and I believe it is a known flaw of the device.

      A 3 storey townhouse would struggle to get efficient coverage from a single router and how much it would struggle would then depend on the construction of said townhouse.

      you might be better off with a mesh system like eero or redmi

    • Clear on 25/12/2024 - 21:18

      Mesh is best with a node on each floor. TP Link Deco is simple to setup and it's easy to mix and match different models too

    • spaij on 26/12/2024 - 01:37

      If you don't mind 2nd hand, and you want to be thrifty, theres a fair few mesh systems on fb marketplace. Eg Google, eero

  • mitt on 25/12/2024 - 20:20

    I am using this router & I gotta say my only regret is waiting so long to get one. All my networking issues were resolved & the level of transparency & the range of utilities on this router are amazing compared to the usual consumer grade d-link/tplink slop I was wasting time with before.

  • belongsinforums on 25/12/2024 - 20:30

      Ok, if I have an ASUS AX1800 and it seems to do everything I need, what's the benefit of this one?

    • Sum1 on 25/12/2024 - 22:35

      I got a question i posted below about its wifi transmit power if you don't mind checking yours.

    • Naigrabzo on 25/12/2024 - 22:59

      Can you do vlans? I need to put sum iot in their place. Thanks!

  • non-core promise on 25/12/2024 - 20:55

    If anyone does pull the trigger, please make sure to update the firmware as soon as you get it.

    Apparently there were some performance issues + other bugs in early revisions.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 25/12/2024 - 22:59

      That was fixed beginning of 2024 i'm pretty sure, and this would be shipped with the latest firmware. I got this router in June and its been solid as a rock.

      But saying that yes, you should always keep your routers firmwar up today.

  • Sum1 on 25/12/2024 - 21:17

    Anyone got this router can check what is its wireless tx-power set to?

    Note i am assuming you've set the country code to AU since different country setting would have different setting for it.

    You can check this from the luci interface, Network->interface then click edit on your SSID and there should be status box.

    Example (taken from MR90x):
    Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz)
    Tx-Power: 27 dBm
    Signal: -55 dBm | Noise: -91 dBm
    Bitrate: 84.1 Mbit/s | Country: AU

    Channel: 149 (5.745 GHz)
    Tx-Power: 28 dBm
    Signal: -77 dBm | Noise: -92 dBm
    Bitrate: 429.0 Mbit/s | Country: AU

    • rashn on 25/12/2024 - 22:54

      20dBm when on max power setting

      • Sum1 on 25/12/2024 - 23:03

        Thanks.
        That seems to be on the low side. I was expecting it to be 30dBm
        Maybe you did not set the country code to AU?

  • cheesecactus on 25/12/2024 - 21:50

    Just got one of these last month. Outstanding, highly recommended.

    Going to price protect it now, cheers OP

    • bcYield on 25/12/2024 - 21:58

      Have you tried to test what speed you get over some distance says 2 rooms?

      • cheesecactus on 25/12/2024 - 22:40

        yep, i've got a 100mbps internet plan. 2 rooms over (brick walls) is still 100mbps on the 5GHZ network.

        Any further and it starts to drop off pretty fast on the 5GHZ network, and then id swap to the 2.4ghz one which is still 40mbps at least.

  • bcYield on 25/12/2024 - 21:55

    What is the speed drop over 2 rooms? It'd be perfect if I can get over 1Gbps in my bedroom,

  • bcYield on 25/12/2024 - 22:20

    The Archer AX80 seems to be cheaper.

    • Sum1 on 25/12/2024 - 22:33

      Some TP-link such as that model seems to be using an EU firmware which means lower a power transmit compared to the US tp link firmware.
      So unless you don't care much about being unnecessarily shorted out of wifi coverage then i would avoid EU model TP link routers.
      You might want to double check with tplink support first if the model you are interested in buying comes with EU/US or maybe even an AU firmware for the model

  • Gasbag on 26/12/2024 - 00:49

    I needed a router. A router was posted. Good discussion followed. I learned stuff. Long time lurker had to join to upvote. Thanks OP, thx comments, purchased because needed… or wanted… how does one tell the difference? Off to build my 3-storey town house using routers!
