When do we get the full datasheet for the Flint 4? We want to know the impact of the slower 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and the tech used there
Hopefully, soon!
I feel like we actually need that before the preorders go live
This was my take, all options are crossed out already. Is there any confirmation to be had?
It launched already? I thought it was late tonight.
for me it says “Coming Soon”
So just wait till the preorder time in a few minutes
preorders are now live https://www.gl-inet.com/en-gb/products/gl-be14000?country=GB
I'll wait 2 years until it's fully supported by OpenWrt.

Bought my one and will be swapping it in where a Flint 2 is currently in use. I’m considering going for an OpenWrt build on it, as I’m currently using the GL-iNet software on the Flint 2 and it can be problematic.
I’m a very basic user, only really using AdGuard and occasionally the VPN (Wireguard) over the typical router functionality. I don’t even use the WiFi on it. What would you recommend and why?
Same here, i just purchased the Flint 4.
i have a Flint 2 here which has been a great device.
i had a Flint 3 but returned it as the Flint 2 was vastly superior.
hoping the Flint 4 will be much better.
Does 3 versions offered for Flint4 EU, NA, AU refer only to shipped power adapter or there are differences in WiFi tx power as per regulatory area?
My understanding is that that reference is for the WiFi channels/ power. From memory, my Flint 2 came with a multi way power adaptor.
seems like super-early-bird was sold before sale even started

That’s not true, I get to buy the super-early-bird, but I went to the webstore 3 min after the kick off time 
So… it went live … but I guess there where too many people buying since the availability was 500 units.

How come I couldn’t pay with my regular bank card? I tried several cards, but none of them worked. In the end, I had to use PayPal and even pay an extra fee - incredibly annoying ! ! !

I think this is what happened again. Again.

credit card worked for me, personally I hate ordering with Shopify
no, super early bird was not a paper launch, I got mine on the dot and even after completing the purchase the button was still open for another purchase which of course would have been rejected anyway
Same, I think the Flint 4 is what everyone was kind of expecting the Flint 3 to be like, at least this is one company that listens to thier customers, unlike many other who want feedback but do nothing about it.
If the 4 is like the 2 only better then this will be my last upgrade for a while, yes I expect some teething problems like all previous routers have had, but they will overcome them.
Does anyone know if this will also ship with Astromesh ?

perhaps there was some regional limit or something. I was there even 10min earlier and was refreshing and immediately after go time it was showing super early bird “sold out”
