The GL-BE9300, or Flint 3, incorporates a MediaTek Filogic 880 quad-core 2.2GHz CPU to support Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standards. Technical specifications list five 2.5G Ethernet ports for multi-gigabit WAN and LAN configurations. Performance metrics indicate high throughput for WireGuard VPN protocols, supported by a 6GHz radio band that mitigates urban signal congestion. Material analysis reveals a large heatsink array and six high-gain external antennas designed for long-range signal propagation and thermal management.
Functional features include:
- Wired Connectivity: 5x 2.5Gbps ports.
- Software: OpenWrt-based firmware (v4.x) with native AdGuard Home support.
- Power Requirements: 12V/4A dedicated power supply.
Aggregated data shows the unit supports 4096-QAM and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for compatible clients. Operational insight suggests the OpenWrt interface provides deep packet inspection and custom DNS controls without requiring cloud account registration. The device footprint is significantly larger than previous generations of specialized VPN routers.
For users who need to secure hardwired smart home infrastructure, this router can be integrated with dedicated-home-automation-controllers to ensure all traffic is tunneled. It is classified as an enterprise-grade node within the vpn-routers category.
