@bruce After upgrading to 4.8.1 I am very disappointed to find out that multiple SSIDs that previously worked are once again completely broken…
After reverting to 4.7.14 and restoring a previous configuration archive, my SSIDs work.
This router NEEDS first-party support in the GLiNet UI for running multiple SSIDs on a single radio. Clearly you can do it since you allow for easy creation of “Guest SSIDs”.
It may be necessary to re-create the SSID manually after upgrading the firmware.
We have submitted this requirement to the PM team, I think it will achieve in future version.
Even though there are many WiFi radios on those channels in the environment, your router Flint3 still has a certain operating frequency space.
If 5GHz works on the Band1 channel, the WiFi speed performs better, maybe fixed channel in Band1 is ok.
Guys, is acceleration still problematic on Flint 3 ? Seems when enabled it does indeed utilize full bandwidth, but after days slows down, need to flip switch to bring it back…So what are your fellings, does it work or keep it disabled and loose Internet speed ?
Hello, we don't seem to have reproduced this issue. Flint3 keeps network acceleration enabled, and after a few days, it still maintains full bandwidth.
The Speedtest server is located on the WAN side of BE9300, so you can be viewed as an ISP WAN.
That’s interesting — I wasn’t aware of any speed issues related to network acceleration on the GL-BE9300. I use this router daily without problems. Could you please clarify under which conditions you experienced the slowdown? I also have AdGuard Home enabled, and everything runs smoothly on my setup.
First I use Pppoe on WAN side, slowing down is noticeable only on wlan clients. Lan seems fine.
It is well documented with some versions of firmware on the forum. As you appear to be a lucky one, enjoy lol.
Hello,
If say the Internet speed of the LAN wired client is normal, there should be no problem with the router WAN port and ISP modem.
In order to confirm the speed of the wireless client, please install the plugin OpenSpeedTest server in Flint3. When the issue reproduces, check the speed whether the speed of the wireless client has dropped.
Additional observation, when acceleration is active, network performance degradation affects Wi-Fi clients, manifesting particularly in Facebook Reels playback. Content regularly interrupts with buffering cycles, requiring substantial recovery time before resuming.
How about if switch to Software Acceleration?
Let me try and come back. So I can consider, that HW could be problematic on this chip?Was working fine with Flint 2 in same setup.
The packet protocol compatibility of MTK's hardware acceleration is indeed better than that of QC, I have to say.
When will it release 4.8.3 stable firmware?
I did 3 tests, one with no acceleration, one with software and one with hardware. Where no accleration enable is obviously slower, software is doing better like hardware. At the end, seem either hardware (chip) is very unmature, or software doesn’t follow QC chip.
With no acceleration :
Software :
Hardware :
WTF, I read that GL-iNet will release a Flint 3e???
I feel screwed over because of this as an early bird buyer of the Flint 3.
The Flint3e is lower specification then the Flint3, so why do you feel like that?
No worries, 3e doesn't have 6ghz… So flint 3 should be “future proof”, of course when it will start working as it should 
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
But why offer then a simpler version of the Flint 3 when the 3 ticks (with current firmware that needs improvement in support for OpenWrt) nearly ticks all the boxes?
When one has to choose why save a few bucks when the Flint 3 is the better option?
