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

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

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

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

it's available as of April 21st... running firmware v4.9 beta on my Beryl AX takes a lot of memory, +80% just my Adguard Home and no dpi. went back to the stable release, v4.8.1.. DPI in GL-net routers could be useful. but for those with lower ram, stability is the priority. I guess that's why DPI w

Lots are saying to flash it with OpenWRT. That is what I did. While researching ([OpenWrt Wiki] GL.iNet GL-MT6000[OpenWrt Wiki] GL.iNet GL-MT6000) I found that using the factory openwrt-24.10.5-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt6000-squashfs-factory.bin will brick the router. I am using openwrt-24.10.5-m

No! Specifically for Wi-Fi 7, GL.iNet is actually the worst 'way to go for OpenWrt'. Their Wi-Fi 7 router is Broadcom based, and doesn't run OpenWrt. Meanwhile the Flint 2 was originally released with a Mediatek OpenWrt fork, but they switched to OpenWrt without Mediatek specific vendor patches for
