Flint 3 GL-BE9300
GL.iNet home router that is tri-band WiFi 7 with glinets OpenWRT flavor. Used in tandem with the Glinet App on my phone for networking.
As of 2026, I migrated my Beryl AX MT3000 to be an extender.

Use Cases
Home Network: Can serve as a wireless or wired access point, or as a dedicated router and firewall before a network switch.
The 1x WAN, 1x WAN/LAN + 3x LAN actually got rid of my unmanaged switch, so its consolidated my network closet.
Security
Glinet skinned OpenWRT. Say what you will about that, but it gives you LuCi install option and interface.
VPN Tunneling
Native support with providers or the underlying tech, wireguard and/or openvpn.
Priority tunnels given to VPN tunnels with manual sorting policies or just global rule. Beneficial because VPN providers like having device limits, so just putting it in the router and making network wide policies about devices and URLs works within that device limits constraint.
Tailscale
Native Tailscale support. All devices connected to your Tailscale network can access local network easily, so you don't have to expose your server to the public, you can access files securely and remotely.
