Flint 2

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

It took me a few minutes to understand this response. UI = ui.com (Company is Ubiquiti and UniFi is their product line of networking equipment) One of the most popular features in UI is how easy it is to build VLANs and "dumb AP" mode. Dump AP mode meaning the APs will just mimic/enable/transmit the

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

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

It’s such a shame flint 2 doesn’t support guest network once in AP mode. Email GL.iNet and let them know you want that feature. It helps if more people do that. >> openwrt vanilla, does that support guest networks when in ap mode? Yes, you can get it to work, but it's not easy. Contact GL.iNet sup

Just head to the GL.iNet forum and see the multiple posts with the various issues documented with poor WiFi performance, MLO problems, PPPoE disconnects and port speed negotiation issues. It is widely accepted by users that it has been a poor downgrade from the Flint 2.

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
