As I'm looking a replacement for my now-EOL RT-AX56U, I found Flint 2 and immediately tempted for it particularly because of it's OpenWrt support (it's firmware is based on OpenWrt) which allows endless tinkering possibilities. Out of my curiosity, I found the price on their Taobao store is much less (~100 USD) compared to their global store (~160 USD, although it comes with free shipping). However even with shipping cost added (as I need to use third party forwarder as there is no direct shipping to my country) it's still a bit cheaper if I buy from Taobao.
