I've been using GL-MT300N V2 for years and it's been great.
Now i've got a new 1 Gbps internet and it's not doing great since it's limited at 100 Mbps.
I'm considering to upgrade to GL-MT3000 which looks a natural thing to do.
Do you think GL-B1300 is also a good choice? I wouldn't mind to have another lan port. I know it's missing wifi ax but i actually have no devices that would use it anyway.
Thanks. But this one seems to play in another league. Different form factor and way more expensive.
Why do you prefer this one over the one i mentioned? Any advice on them anyway?
I can get GL-MT3000 for 100€ and GL-B1300 for 90€. GL-MT6000 for 185€.
GL-B1300 shouldn't be on the list: it's just an AC router without hw capability under official OpenWrt.
In the other hand GL-MT3000 has hardware acceleration not just for NAT but for WiFi too!
GL-MT6000 is a little pricey but more future proof it's 2x 2.5 GbE, allowing upgrade both your wired home network to 2.5 GbE and internet.
Hi! Got the GL-MT3000 and flashed openwrt with no issues through the vendor web ui without keeping settings.
I get almost 1 Gbit/s through ethernet and 330 Mbit/s (phone) and 660 Mbit/s (laptop) through wifi ac with channel width 80 MHz. I'm very happy!
I had to change 2.4 GHz encryption to WPA2 in order to allow old devices to connect. Mixed with WPA3 is not doing it.
I have to cover only a very small space with wifi so I lowered the transmission power.
I got 2.4 GHz at 0 dBm and 5 GHz at 6 dBm. I have strong signal on everything.
On status an example device report for signal/noise is -48/-91 dBm for 2.4 GHz and -44/-92 dBm for 5 Ghz. It's good right?
I noticed that my phone connected to 2.4GHz at times while getting in the wifi range and not switching to 5GHz once the signal increase. Added another +3 dBm and now it seems to connect always 5GHz first. Is it this okay?
