    flint 3, with tri-band wi-fi 7, is supposed to be released later on this year. i wonder how much that is going to retail for

    • jlogic on 18/03/2025 - 20:20

      More than this one, I would assume.

    • clot10 on 18/03/2025 - 22:09

      My dilemma as well

  • overlook on 18/03/2025 - 20:33

    You last purchased this item on 26 Feb 2025 @$207.20

      Purchases one and return as old order.

      • gakko on 18/03/2025 - 22:23

        What's that mean?

        • spiderbite88 on 18/03/2025 - 22:50

          Ha Amazon allows free returns within 30 days if in unused condition. He’ll click return on the one he bought in Feb, hand back the brand new one he bought for $182 and receive $207.

      • ArnoldIsComing on 18/03/2025 - 23:10

        This is the way…

  • Rgh on 18/03/2025 - 20:42

    I bought through Amazon yesterday for $207.20. Can I retrospectively apply the coupon somehow? TIA.

    • jlogic on 18/03/2025 - 20:44

      Shipped? If not cancel.

      • Rgh on 18/03/2025 - 20:45

        Sadly yes - shipped last night.

          Get on to amazon chat and ask for a partial refund by way of credit to your account.

          Somethingelse > contact us > start chatting now

          it may not work but it's worth a shot

            @captainmac: I just did this and it worked. I ordered today without the coupon, quick chat with support and they added a $25 credit to my account.

            So I actually made a 14 cent profit

            • benstix on 18/03/2025 - 21:58

              @367: +1 for this, just got the same via Amazon support.

              @367: Awesome to hear!! Mine had shipped already so CS helped me cancel and refund. Will reorder soon with promo applied to save the $25 too! Big thanks to @captainmac for suggesting.

  • Tinqer on 18/03/2025 - 20:58

    Is there an affordable way to slightly extend the range on this if needed? It might be enough on its own, but it'd be good to know I could extend it or mesh it if I have to?

    • tchiseen on 18/03/2025 - 21:11

      glinet makes cheaper / portable wireless routers that have AP and repeater modes.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 18/03/2025 - 21:11
      +1

      You can set up mesh on this if you have a compatible device

    • rashn on 18/03/2025 - 21:41
      +2

      Technically one of the firmware versions has a bug that causes it to broadcast at slightly higher power (36dB or so). Increases the range a little bit haha

      • Tinqer on 18/03/2025 - 21:46

        Haha nice

  • TheMidnightChef on 18/03/2025 - 21:11

    Just ordered yesterday for $207.
    Was able to cancel and reorder.
    Thanks!

  • dealt on 18/03/2025 - 21:31

    This or a TP link AX1800, AX3000?… I have flint the previous one to this but never really bought another to create a mesh….I am after least number of routers that can give max coverage esp for rooms in the first floor and occasionally while in the backyard.

    • Smashwa on 18/03/2025 - 22:19

      This blew away my old device, also a TP Link, in regards to wifi range and performance. Though your results might not be the same.

  • browser on 18/03/2025 - 21:34

    Is this user friendly? Or requires a lot of mucking about?

    Say comparing to ASUS routers.

    • shutuptakemymoney101 on 18/03/2025 - 21:40
      +4

      Owning both an ASUS RT-AX86U and a GL.iNet Beryl AX I'd call the GUI on both pretty much equal, certainly wouldn't consider it more difficult than the ASUS anyway. YMMV

    • ohgee on 18/03/2025 - 22:23

      Completely friendly out of the box (my current router), no messing with Asus hardware incompatibilities (my experience trying to use on board usb with 2.4ghz band years ago).

  • tatnal on 18/03/2025 - 21:40

    Noob question, can I use this as a modem for NBN connection?

    • shutuptakemymoney101 on 18/03/2025 - 21:42
      +1

      No this is a router only, but you can bridge it to a modem.

      Are you positively sure you need a modem, what flavour of NBN do you have?

    • WindowsXP on 18/03/2025 - 22:43

      Yes you can if you have the HFC NBN modem, which is what I have and it works.

    • frondono on 18/03/2025 - 23:07

      You might be able to do a free fibre upgrade. And then you can just use a router

  • AnyGoodDeals on 18/03/2025 - 21:52

    Thanks OP, ordered one. Hope its not too complicated to setup a VPN

    • benstix on 18/03/2025 - 21:57

      Very easy. Heaps of tutorials online and youtube vids. Takes 5-10 mins to set up the server and the clients.

  • ohgee on 18/03/2025 - 22:04

    Great router and price for it! Improved range and speed over anything I've tried and sent back. Just a safe choice for reliable, fast wifi range without having to use mesh, ad guard included. Only criticism is the inability to specify a DNS server (pi hole) with stock firmware.

  • Pashka on 18/03/2025 - 22:13

    great router easy to set up coming from an Asus RT-AC88U. Excellent wifi for my solid brick home with no open living spaces. Would I buy another one, the answer is YES.

  • shivaussie on 18/03/2025 - 22:24

    Can I connect flint 2 to netcomm nf20mesh modem through the LAN port?

    Will my wifi speeds and coverage be better using the flint 2 on multiple devices?

    • simontadaa on 18/03/2025 - 22:28
      +1

      nf20 is shit, this is significantly better and yes you can do that

      • shivaussie on 18/03/2025 - 22:33

        Thanks, yes nf20 is horrible and giving me nightmares.
        I was actually planning for LAN cabling though the ceiling to 4 different outlets but hopefully this modem solves my wifi problems….

    • Twix on 18/03/2025 - 22:53

      Plug in the GL.iNet Flint router to the nbn NTD box if you have one.

  • yy193 on 18/03/2025 - 22:39

    Thanks mate — got it for $182 and I had bought previously Amazon gift vouchers at 10% off. I also tried with Cashrewards so have to see if they give me anything.

    I have the Beryl AX and love it.

  • gmatht on 18/03/2025 - 22:46

    Hmm, can you use a gigabit port for WAN? It seems a waste to use a 2.5 port for a gigabit NBN connection.

    • Twix on 18/03/2025 - 22:50

      2Gbps is coming to nbn FTTP and HFC in 6 months time.

      FTTP: 2000/200 and 2000/500.
      HFC: 2000/100.

    • DarkLegion on 18/03/2025 - 23:17

      You can buy a 2.5G switch and connect it to the second 2.5G ethernet port to get more 2.5G ports.

  • OzHan on 18/03/2025 - 22:49

    How does OpenWRT stack up against Asus Merlin?

  • MuscleRulz on 18/03/2025 - 23:00

    Thanks OP! I pulled the trigger 👍

  • rookie317 on 18/03/2025 - 23:09

    Flint 3 (Wifi 7) is around the corner if anyone's interested

    • yy193 on 18/03/2025 - 23:36

      Doubt it will be cheap

  • brisdaz on 18/03/2025 - 23:15

    How does the wifi compare to a Telstra smart modem 3?

  • mortyestmorty on 18/03/2025 - 23:49

    Sorry if this is a stupid question: I have a 2.5GBe switch. If I connect that to the one 2.5GBe LAN on here, all my devices connected to the switch will be able to access the 2Gibabit NBN coming later this year? I'm just trying to workout where the bottleneck will be

  • BOYZ24 on 18/03/2025 - 23:57

    I just bought this router for $182.34 as stated, I haven't upgraded my router in 5 years and this has double the WiFi speeds as my current router, now i'm excited for the Flint 2 router!
