  • Our take on the Flint 3e (GL-BE6500) Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 Home Router

    The GL.iNet Flint 3e (GL-BE6500) is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 home router built around five 2.5-gigabit ports and GL.iNet's OpenWrt-based firmware with built-in VPN clients and servers. It targets people who want fast wired networking and router-level VPN or ad blocking rather than a locked-down consumer app. Against mainstream Wi-Fi 7 routers it trades a third radio band for more 2.5G ports and far deeper software control; against mesh systems it is a single-unit design. It suits tinkerers and small offices more than plug-and-play households.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Flint 3e worth it over a mainstream Wi-Fi 7 router?
    If you need several 2.5G wired ports and router-level VPN or ad blocking, it offers more than most consumer routers. If you mainly want easy app setup and mesh coverage, a mainstream system is simpler.
    Does it have a 6 GHz band?
    No. It is dual-band, covering 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, so Wi-Fi 7's 6 GHz advantages are not part of this model.
    Can it run a VPN for the whole network?
    Yes. GL.iNet firmware supports VPN client and server modes, so devices on the network can route through a VPN without per-device apps.
    How many wired devices can I connect?
    It has five 2.5-gigabit Ethernet ports, enough for a NAS, desktop and several access points or switches.
    Do I need networking experience to set it up?
    Basic setup is guided, but many advanced features assume familiarity with OpenWrt-style settings. Expect a learning curve for VPN, firewall and DNS rules.
    Where is the Flint 3e (GL-BE6500) Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 Home Router cheapest?
