You like the Velica design?
Yes. It's my wife`s opinion. And I think most women would love router without antennae than a router like spider. Haha
Guess Marble would be awesome for your wife then.
As a long time Asus (Asus Merlin) user, many of the BE units are either stripped down to make them somewhat affordable or they are outrageous in pricing. To me, for GliNet to compete, a flagship model would need to be triband 4x4 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 6Ghz. There would need to be 2 10Gbe WAN/LAN Ethernet ports. If there was an SFP+, I would need an adapter to Ethernet in my use case adding to the cost. Additional 2.5Gbe ports would be nice. I don’t need any fancy RGB lights or anything else to gussy it up. External antennas are fine. A usb-c port for external storage would be nice along with usb-a though an adapter to usb-c may be more cost conscious. A second unit released to be more cost competitive could reduce the 10Gbe to 2.5Gbe (still minimum 2 ports) and 6ghz could be cut. This is what Asus is doing with their BE88U and BE86U though the 86U is substantially more a bargain bin product unfortunately.
I like the RT-BE88U to from what i have seen on youtube, but i wish they had more space, more something the flint 2 has would be amazing
But currently wifi 7 nearly exists in OpenWrt, it will take a while for this to be stable i think.
If i compare the timeline between flint 1 (wifi 6) and flint 2 (wifi 6) maybe now it starts becomming fine tuned, flint 1 just got official openwrt support or atleast i saw a pull request for it recently (a few month old).
Considered flint 1 was around when wifi 6 just got out.
4 * 2.5G, 1 * SFP+, 1 * USB 3.1 type C and triband WiFi 7 will be a wet dream come true
And the end boss for every power saving bill.
It would be nice to have a m.2 slot (or 2 for ssd as well) with usb support, for a 4-5g module, then it would be the perfect router, or at least an internal usb 2.0 connection for this purpose, so everything is in the case, maybe an opening for 4g antenna as well?
A small affordable Wifi 7 router would be amazing. Hoping for it to have one 2.5GbE Wan and 1 2.5GbE LAN port, 6Ghz band, and maybe a 10Gbps USB C port for connecting external storage. The ability to use a VPN and to use it in simple AP mode (since many hotels have login screens). Would be game changing for me! I'm a flight attendant who is very often in Africa where their wifi AP's are using maybe 802.11n or something like that. Some hotels have ethernet ports. Thinking I could have a much better experience with a wifi 7 travel AP for my iPhone 16, wont help the slow speeds they have but at least I will get the full speed without losses due their aged AP's and the 2.4 and 5Ghz band being overwhelmed with AP's.
Woooo, Is there an appearance like the MT-3000? WIFI 7, 2 * 2.5G
