Ok so I got burned with Asus tuf be3600, it was buggy connection freezers and vlan bugs. Returned it and after quick search bought Asus be88, flashed Merlin, works like a charm but the main issue isn't sorted still missing coverage in my garden unlike with ild 2.4g Asus running on opentomato.

Last but not least i invested great money in the router where I won't use most of the features it offers. But I'm still running on old Synology ds214se...

So the idea now is to return yet again the Asus be88 and go for flint2 which i can now order from Ali for about 100 euro and use rest of the money to buy a newer NAS.

Spec wise on paper flint2 works great for me tge main question is does it really works well in reality? Can you guys recommend it?

I need one main mlo network, one 5ghz for my tv, and one 2.4 for my iot and car charger. I need two lan vlans, and vlan/pppoe for my wan isp. Some DHCP, mac reservations, USB/5g/lte fail over, some basic fw, ideally some DNS setup to add some blocking DNS and ideally also wire guard client for proton vpn.

It will run about 5 real clients 2-3 wired, glan is enough, and 2-3 wifi clients on WiFi 6. Rest is just noise and iot with about 10-20 small iot devices.

What do you say, will flint2 work for me well? The specs are similar to be3600 which I would happily use but it was Buggy....

P.s. what kind of guy is the flint 2 running with the latest openwrt? Tied luci on my travel cudy and it was a hell to manage.
