The smart choice for the Wi-Fi 7 generation
Flint 3e (GL-BE6500) targets next-gen speed, stability, and security for smart homes, SOHO, and busy households: dual-band Wi-Fi 7 with MLO, up to roughly 6.5 Gbps aggregate wireless performance in AFI WIRELESS marketing, about 2,500 sq. ft. coverage, 100+ concurrent clients, and five 2.5G Ethernet ports with multi-WAN options.
Wi-Fi 7 performance
Powered by a Qualcomm platform, Flint 3e adds Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for smarter use of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz together—helping with stability for video calls, gaming, and dense device counts. 4K QAM and band steering reduce contention in noisy RF environments such as apartments and small offices.
Five 2.5G ports & multi-WAN
Use a dedicated 2.5G WAN plus flexible LAN, or convert LAN1 into a second WAN for failover and load balancing. Combine with Wi-Fi repeater, USB tethering, or cellular backup (dongle) for resilient uplinks.
USB 3.0 adds storage sharing, tethering, or backup paths—ideal for media and small-business setups.
VPN, gaming, and remote work
Protect your family and your privacy
AdGuard Home is built in for network-wide ad, tracker, and malware filtering. Parental controls integrate with Bark for safer search, filters, and screen-time guidance. GoodCloud and AstroWarp extend remote monitoring and site-to-site management for power users and distributed sites.
Manage Flint 3e with the AFI WIRELESS app for quick setup, or the web admin panel for advanced firewall, VPN, and device policies.
