Is there a Brume 3 on the way?

@will.qiu @bruce

Do you guys know?

Is it possible to flash the Brume 3 to vanilla OpenWRT?

Can I think of the Brume 3 as a wired router? The marketing suggests adding the Beryl 7 to give the Brume 3 WiFi.

The specs seem similar to the Flint 2. How is the Brume 3 able to perform even better with WireGuard?

22

Is it possible to have two WANs with the Brume 3? This way I can have a failover.

23

yes one lan port can be changed to secondary wan

24

not yet but there seems ongoing work upstream mediatek: filogic: add support for GL.iNet MT5000 (Brume3) by GLiNet-Tech · Pull Request #21728 · openwrt/openwrt · GitHub

Brume3 does not yet support Vanilla OpenWRT.

Yes, it's a wired primary router, and thanks for the suggestions.

Their CPU look the same on the surface, but the Brume3's CPU is slightly better.

Thanks for the confirmation. It seems like the Flint 2 uses DDR3 RAM while the Brume 3 uses DDR4. Can you specify which CPUs the two products use? Is the difference only in clockspeed, or are we talking about two different CPUs? It seems like work is already being done to get Vanilla OpenWRT working on the Brume 3. Can we all assume that it'll happen, and it's up to the OpenWRT community to do the finishing work?

Architecturally, what's the difference? Clearly, the Brume 3 is using newer hardware.

Brume 3 is Filogic 880 Arm-Cortex A73

Flint 2 is Filogic 830 Arm-Cortex A53

How do you know the Brume 3 is using the Filogic 880 ARM-Cortex A73? Awesome if true!

SoC: MediaTek MT7987A (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 2.0 GHz)
Brume3 seems filogic 850 not 880 tho
