Replace Your ISP Router with THE BEAST! (GL.iNET Flint 3 GL-BE9300)
Fed up with your basic ISP router?
In this video, I’m ditching the Sky SR213 (Sky Max Hub) and upgrading my entire home network to the GL.iNET Flint 3 (GL-BE9300).
Most Internet Service Providers give you the bare minimum when it comes to hardware.
If you want faster speeds, better range, and actual control over your privacy, it's time to upgrade.
I'll show you the step-by-step process of replacing your ISP junk device with a powerful OpenWRT-based router.
The Flint 3 is a beast, featuring Wi-Fi 7 with speeds close to 10Gbps, network-wide VPN encryption, and AdGuard Home pre-installed to kill ads and trackers before they even reach your phone or TV.
In this video, we cover:
• Why the Sky Max Hub (SR213) might be holding you back.
• How to find your current SSID/Passwords so your Smart Home devices don't break.
• The "Safety Net": Why you can always swap back if things go wrong.
• The Sky Secret: How to configure DHCP Option 61 (Client ID) to get your public IP.
• Setting up the Flint 3 from scratch.

I bought the Flint 3 myself on eBay to improve my own home setup!
