I use the Brume 2 as a FW, VPN and AdGuard device, and then I need an 8 port SW + a WiFi access point on top. So, I wonder if, let’s say next year, I can replace all 3 devices with new technologies like WiFi 7 and 2.5Gb ports packed together in one case, one single admin tool, ideally a Gli.Net one since I like what you’re doing in terms of UX and support.
Thank you!

@conrad.siegfried It will be possible in the next year, we are studying the technical solution of WIFI7.

Hello,
Any updates for a WiFi 7 router?
Interested in the Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) | High-Performance VPN Router - GL.iNet (gl-inet.com) but want a WiFi 7 router but compatible (in the future) with OpenWRT.
Best Regards

Even something pretty high-end as a Banana Pi BPI-R4 does not have wifi 7 and 4 x 2,5Gbps ports. Sadly something like a AsiaRF AW7256-P01 does not fit on that…
The Banana Pi BPI-R4 would be a mad router with 2 x 10 gbit, 4 x 1 gbit and tri-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) wifi if something like that AsiaRF AW7256-P01 would be possible. Sadly Banana Pi itself is not clear that they would make such a wifi-board for the Banana Pi BPI-R4.
AsiaRF AW7256-P01 with 14 antenna on wifi 7 would make it a “class” BE19000. So 19 Gbps in wifi-rate numbers. That’s the rate of 3 Flint 2 (on different channels) together!

For me personally I am just interested in a WiFi 7 router that has a chipset that hopefully will be supported by OpenWRT in the future, 4x2.5Gbps-ports isn’t on my list of requirements.

there a lot of bugs and issues on the actual product and you are asking a new feature!
It is impossible to find what you need in the Gl.inet products .
i kinda got mixed feelings about this 
yea it is great and all, but open source in general works very different.
When wifi 6 was just out, wifi 5 had a similar milestone of being more ‘stable’ for most of their platforms, wifi 6 is still not so much stable, some platforms maybe (?)…
But at this point wifi 7 drivers are not in OpenWrt (yet), yup im aware they are adding driver support for the new wifi 7 module for BPI R4 which only a very few have their hands on as for adding support but not the final board.
i’ve been following that thread some time they only want to produce them for the masses when that driver works that is why it takes so long 
, im just optimistic for the stable road, i say 2 years from when the first wifi 7 drivers hit OpenWrt release to consider them really stable
in the mean time wifi 6 is alot more matured from my opinion

Hi, any update on this?
Something like a Flint 3 with Wi-Fi 7...?
At least an update on the status? If you are working on it, if you have discovered something new, if you imagine a release date?

Woooo, that's some great news!
Keep up the good work done with Flint 2, fully supporting OpenWrt, etc
Pls be kind with the price... 
just checking if any news on the WiFi 7 router?
I have been seeing a few competing routers out there with Wi-Fi 7, such as the eero, but have resisted buying one, I am hoping GL.iNet has a WiFi 7 router in the works...
Q4 2024 means end of the year …
calendar or financial?
I just repeated
So, I don‘t know. But mostly Q4 refer to winter.
Since I don't work for GL I can't tell further.
Any plans for an update for the Spitz AX GL-X3000 router with features similar to Flint-2 in the wirguard and openvpn protocol? It is a very good router but it is always behind in the speed of VPN connections compared to the flint series and the truth is that if you want intensive use of the router in FWA connections under VPN 900Mb is almost the ideal speed. Would there be any possibility of Any mesh solution for these routers? And Wi-Fi 7 standard?

You could make a router with modules, where the customer could customise it according the needs...
E.g.: additional USB ports, replace WiFi6 to WiFi7, a slot for m.2 SSD, micro fan, etc
Something similar to what Framework laptop is doing

Doesn't have to be
Some people just want to go more advanced but don't like huge servers.
In my situation i use a mochabin with these features to experiment a little with sfp and have it work as a lancache server but mochabin is still on SATA III.
The BPI-R4 looks nice but for me a hassle to setup.
I don't mind if gl-inet brings a product like this or even in a x86 platform, proxmox is a example i really like to try to.
I do know you also have these little x86 boxes on aliexpress but the design is a meh.

Hope that they can update us. It would be great to have more and more Wi-Fi 7 routers since the offer is very limited nowadays and something Flint2-ish, with its opening to the open source community/feature (OpenWrt rocks) would be the choice for many I think

Hopefully there is some product appearance like Velica.
Have a 10G sfp+ port would be better.
