Currently own a TP-Link XE75, but thinking of switching to a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 Flint 2 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The XE75 has 3 access points, but the features are lacking and I feel like the lack of speed on firmware updates is slow and concerning. I’m looking at the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2), and it’s $136. Can anyone with more tech experience comment or give their thoughts/suggestions about this? TIA!

Thanks for the detailed response! And the RPi3 Pihole is one of the reasons I’m considering this. 👍 Was installing tailscale and everything simple enough?

The ad blocker was from the package manager built into OpenWRT. I think tailscale was too but I'm not 100% sure since it's been awhile.

Though, I just did a search and the first result from the OpenWRT docs shows the install from the package manager so that's most likely how I did it : https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start

So, yes, very simple.

Thanks a ton, really appreciate you checking it out. With family members who aren’t tech savvy it’s really helpful to preempt all potential ad’s ahead of time. 😣
