          Your tip worked, but then I get clever and created my home address from scratch. Even thought it was identical to my original, it now worked. Must be some glitch with aliexpress 'local'.

          So the solution for existing aliexpress users with this error, is to add a new delivery address, even if it's exactly the same as the address giving you an error. WFM YMMV

              @overlook: I'm not Clear (actually, I'll be very clear) but this router is great value at its regular price via aliexpress. This OB is a great price. I've been watching the price for 4 months and it doesn't normally move like this (except for ali coupons and topcashback).

              This OB appears to be because they have local inventory in Australia for some reason, so they've taken additional $ off. If you look at their main store listing, their non-AU inventory is 10-15% higher.

              This a mature product that will continue to be manufactured and offered while the enthusiast market keeps lapping it up. It's particular selection of chips and radio performance means there's not much else similar that is a broad router-based platform.

              However it isn't the latest and greatest, there are other routers, esp. WiFi 7 and tri-band, if you have different needs.

          I'm mostly wanting the Flint 2 for upstream OpenWrt support - seems like it'll make the router last effectively forever, and the bufferbloat mitigation seems pretty useful to have.

          There's supposedly someone trying to upstream OpenWrt support for the Flint 3, but all of their forum posts are Claude-generated so I wouldn't trust it.

    • noz on 02/06/2026 - 00:22

      what type of NBN do you have? It will work with everything except FTTN (unless you use a bridging device).

      • 3
      • Graduate on 02/06/2026 - 14:03

        Did you mean FTTP/FTTH ? Connecting the Flint up to the NBN Connection Box ? Should work, even then - though I’m less experienced with Bridge mode and DHCP (probably not broadcast any differently - I’m thinking out loud), and protocol/encapsulation/authentication should be handled by the NBN Conmection Box, right? Shrugs.

        FTTN on the other hand is no problem: The [NBN] Modem-router can stay in its normal router mode, too, making your setup double NAT with the Flint, that's absolutely fine; not a negative, in my experience. (Optionally, if you ever need to host something, tell the Modem-router that the Flint is the DMZ, so you only have to configure Port Forwarding on the Flint, manually - having disabled UPnP, myself, for security.)

        The Modem-router put into Bridge mode nerfs its own TCP/IP utility, breaking its many features, such as Dynamic DNS updating, and VoIP connectivity by chance if you have such a phone plan.

        • 0
        • noz on 02/06/2026 - 14:40

          Did you mean FTTP/FTTH ?

          No .. the NTDs supplied for FTTP, HFC, FW, etc have an ethernet connection .. so that can plug directly in to the Flint router's WAN port.

          if you ever need to host something, tell the Modem-router that the Flint is the DMZ, so you only have to configure Port Forwarding on the Flint

          That's adding unnecessary complexities. Instead place the FTTN in to bridge mode, and you only then need to make required port fwd'ing changes on the Flint router. None of that DMZ stuff is required.

          The Modem-router put into Bridge mode nerfs its own TCP/IP utility, breaking its many features, such as Dynamic DNS updating

          That's the point of putting an FTTN router in to bridge mode .. it then simply acts a bridge between incoming the FTTN connection and the Flint router. Then you can use the Flint router's capabilities to do the dynamic DNS etc that you mention.

          If you do have VoIP on your FTTN router then yes, you'd need to do something extra since the Flint 2 does not have VoIP ports - but you can get a separate VoIP ATA. Regardless, I'd surmise that the % of people that use VoIP is very small.

            @noz: An nbn customer is unlikely to be in possession of a modem w/ wifi but w/o an ethernet port; uncommon I believe.

            DMZ is just specifying an IP address; sure it needs to be static on the LAN, and so one should assign one to the Flint by its MAC address. Done.

            Bridge mode, despite a simple selection of operation mode, is a drastic internal change. You're powering the Modem-router, may as well use all its features.

            Only wins in Bridge mode may be imperceptible latency improvement and may be solve some networking edge case I’ve yet to encounter. However, Bridge mode should help tighten security with old modem not receiving firmware updates anymore - not that it would likely be able to update OTA in Bridge mode anyway; but see it as a good thing, I hate unsolicited updates.

            External VoIP ATA: I don't want yet another thing plugged in, but come FTTP, I’ll need to… Being a user of nbn home internet myself, whose family wishes to retain their 50+ years landline number.

              @Graduate:

              An nbn customer is unlikely to be in possession of a modem w/ wifi but w/o an ethernet port; uncommon I believe

              I think you must be misunderstanding. I said the NTDs supplied (i.e. by NBN). FTTN does not present with an ethernet interface, instead it's a copper line running DSL.Hence you need a bridge to convert it to ethernet - i.e. running the old FTTN router in bridge mode.

              Seems odd to use the features of both devices instead of doing everything from the one router, just because "you're powering the Modem-router, may as well use all its features". Interesting philosophy. Sounds like an old friend of mine who would get extra dental work done to maximise his health insurance, even when he didn't need the dental work.

              You won't find a network engineer that will say double-natting and extra unnecessary routing is better than a straight-through bridged connection and there's other points I could make to what you've said, but I think we think very differently about it - so I'm just going to agree to disagree.

      value, quality and reliability. global popularity among tech enthusiasts. customisability - original firmware that comes with it is insanely good, but also incredibly easy to modify the firmware.

      had mine for about a year now. configured adguard (network wide adblocking). tailscale (access home network when out of the house). firmware changed (to OpenWrt). ipv6 configured.

      My link speed over wifi to my main PC is ~2400 down / 1922 up - easily maxing out my gigabit NBN.

      it is perfect for a small-medium home for anyone from beginner to advanced, and anywhere inbetween.

    Get the Flint 3 for the gigabit wan port when I switch to 500/50 NBN. Very stable…

    Now USB threatening of an iPhone 13 Pro, works very well as well.

    Prepare to get a repeater, I think Flint 2 and Flint 3 both has range issue, but that is common problem when using the high frequency channel.

          I believe 5Ghz range is better with Flint 2, and OpenWRT is also better supported I think I read. Have also read that the 3 uses a fan, whereas 2 is passively cooled. Flint 3 is better in other areas. Weigh up the pros/cons of each.

            @noz: Range isn't a issue with me living in apartment. Capacity however is and in urban area, 2.4 is useless, 5 is OK, 6 not much utilisation which is good for me.

            Not really in to modding so OpenWRT support was never an issue for me.

            At the time of my purchase all WiFi 7 router is close to $400 which I cannot justify for simple use. The deal from Aliexpress was $199 with TCB which I think is good deal and supporting a HK company. So I pull the trigger despite I am anti PRC compaies.

            The new deal now expired was really good deal, not sure where is margin is squeezed from…

      Personally, I vote for the Flint 2, as its hardware is widely compatible to custom firmwares, which is what sets the Flint 2 apart for its price, performance and compatibility.

      If you don't need custom firmware, then there are a whole range of routers available.

    Why is it a favourite? How does it compare to something like this which I've used before and is also reliable?

      I haven't used the exact same model that you have linked but ive had ASUS and TP link routers both in past. I've always struggled with the wifi drops or random sluggishness. I found myself rebooting the routers every week or just tweaking them to get things working. With my Asus router, I think the update made it worse where it would take about 10 minutes to even show any wifi signal.

      I am not technical so maybe this is not the answer you were looking for but in my two years of buying flint 2 after seeing recommendations on oz bargain, ive not had any of those issues even once. So I think I would not hesitate in saying this is reliable and was worth every dollar.

              @Mike Huntissaur: Can you talk some sense to me as well? why you ended up ordering flint?
              will this be better? and how complex is the setup.
              AI told me that flint will be more complicated

              As I live in apartment, AI said glint will be overkill

                @wewehalim: They are both good. If you like to dig into routers, or have specific needs, the Flint 2 is very flexible.

                As others have said, there is later, greater routers, but the Flint 2 suits some people better.

                @wewehalim: It seems the flint basically has powerful components. More ram more cpu and basically better all round.

                It might seem harder to setup but I have read that the router interface is actually also very good and powerful.

                Probably just have to log into the admin interface once and click around a bit

    Is anyone able to supply this product id for cash back ?
    The url shortner hides it :(

    • cmoddoo on 02/06/2026 - 08:32

      Heres the trick, take rhe url shortener to a non default browser on your device, it will open to reveal the full url. Copy that url to check at the link checker

      What version of OpenWRT? Latest? I was thinking about doing this for piece of mind - Does it still have adguard, tailscale etc all built-in? Any downsides?

      • 0
      • smiles on 03/06/2026 - 10:13

        No, I have 24.10.7 and I have no plans to upgrade to 25.x.x - There are some changes the way the packages work and I don't want to risk updating.
        Also I have (adguardhome)[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/dns/adguard-home] installed as a package on the router.
        Never installed tailscale. will try that as well

    Is it easy to set this up by myself? I am not a techguy and usually just ask the technician of the ISP set the router for me.

    Is there any way to contact the seller? I'm getting the error 'This item can't be shipped to the selected region.' but can't find a link to the seller/store. I must be dumb, right?

    • norkle on 02/06/2026 - 11:40

      Ok, I found the 'GL-iNet Overseas Store Store' and messaged them, no idea if they'll be able to help. The item is NOT listed in their Store, maybe because it is local inventory?

        That’s the error you get when the codes been used up / sold out

        They re add stock over time

        Click the buy now button not the add to cart

    I've been using this for a few years Great little unit, lots of coverage and features.
    - I setup Adguard on it so the whole house has ad blocking
    - Tailscale setup so I can access my devices remotely
    - Lots of features I don't use. I game on this and have never had issues.

    I previously was using 2x Unifi APs in my house - this unit covers the whole house. I may get a second and put it into AP mode just so I have a backup and to extend the WIFi into the backyard for future nesting box webcams.
