Flint 2

Tailscale support (to connect back to my home network) https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/tailscale/ Something to be mindful of: Tailscale implementation is half baked, so much that someone from the community had to fix it https://www.reddit.com/r/GlInet/comments/1rohrna/enhanced_tai

"Many older GL.iNet models are still receiving security patches and maintenance updates even if they aren’t getting headline features." I was surprised when I saw my AR300M getting an update last yr. But on the flip side, my Beryl, Flint 2, Brume, etc have not been updated in over a year. I'm not ev

I use Gl.iNet routers (Flint 2 and MT3000 for travel), but I don't use Gl.iNet firmware. That's the first thing you should do. Either way, you wouldn't want to use the global VPN providers that come with the Gl.iNet firmware. Instead, you should install Clash or Passwall and use the airports, aka v2

For me I had packet loss and jitter no matter what time of day, even during the middle of the night. Now I use a docsis cable connection and they can be quite jittery at times but mine is generally very good. Twice I have tried to move to 25.10.2 and .4 and twice I have had this random packet loss w

Your unloaded and upload are both pretty good, but your download could stand to improve. I’m on a similar internet “speed” tier as you (speed vs bandwidth can be deceiving). I have a Flint2 router that I flashed with vanilla OpenWRT. With that, you could install CAKE and SQM. You’d likely want to sh

Upgraded my Flint 2 (MT6000) to 4.8.4 and immediately noticed a Wi-Fi regression with the exact same setup, placement, and clients. What changed for me: lower coverage weaker signal / RSSI worse performance through walls and between floors spots that were usable before became unstable or borderline

The unbricking process is unreliable. Booting into u-boot requires a lot of patience and luck. I have had to do this probably 30 times or more, so it does work, but I am on pins and needles until it finishes. I've had to repeat the process up to 5 or 6 different time to get it to accept the .bin. My

To be honest I wanted to stay as much with GL.iNets own custom builds due to simplified setup through GL.iNet UI. Case in point, i've got both the Flint 2 and Beryl AX. With Beryl AX, i'm staying with GL.iNets own builds since this is meant for travel use and tinkering with different setups and conf

All of the „Flints“ ship with „Openwrt“, just that they all are with „GL.iNet“ flavour+closed source drivers. In short, most purists on here and the forums shout that it isn't „Openwrt“, because it uses closed source software/drivers, but compared to other vendors, „GL.iNet“ allows full stock roster

I seem to recall it's reasonably well documented on the GL.iNet forms - by GL.inet themselves - that most/all routers by default destined for Europe ship with a DE country code. Certainly Flint 2. I had a Flint 1 from UK Amazon, that shipped with US. ... if Flint 2 is now correct levels for DE, it's
