GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) – I'm done. Outdated "stable" on EOL kernel, op24 stuck in beta limbo since Nov 2025, forced clean flashes. No more GL.iNet for me.

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

Need help with a Flint 2 + Beryl AX WireGuard setup

Thanks. I’m using GL.iNet’s built-in WireGuard server/client setup with QR import, so I didn’t manually duplicate configs. The client profile was generated directly from the Flint 2 server and imported into the Beryl. The main issue is the Beryl VPN dashboard stays stuck on “Connecting…” and interne

Constant lag spikes across multiple games, even after replacing my modem and router. Is this an ISP issue?

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

Flint 2 Firmware 4.8.4 Moved to Stable

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

WiFi 6E | WiFi 7 | OpenWRT support

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

Beryl AX Beta Firmware v4.9

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

Flint 2; slight slower speeds

I'm having this same issue. Did you figure what happened? I upgraded from a Linksys EA6350 to a GL iNet Beryl 6 (oops, I meant Beryl AX) I found cheap on marketplace and speeds were fine. I'm paying for and receiving 300/300 over Verizon FiOS using both routers. I upgraded to the Flint2 hoping to ha

Site to site IPv6 wireguard vpn using GL.iNet Flint 2 router as a client: iPhone gets full speed, but other clients get very slow speeds (Flint 2 Client -> Slate AX Server)

So are those speeds expected on my MacBook and Mini? The Slate (AXT1800) Server is connected to 150 Mbps (Down/ Up) Symmetrical internet. And GL.iNet Flint 2 (MT6000) Client is connected to 600 Mbps Down / 22 Mbps Up internet. Also are those abrupt drops/troughs on the speedtestof-me tests expected?

Bufferbloat - how low would you go?

Okay, here is the info I have gotten to add to this issue. 3 servers and 3 clients all have 1gb fiber. speedtest.net and speed.cloudflare.com show 800/600 speeds or better at all 6 locations with 10ms at the most as latency when they are not connected to VPN. 2 clients (I haven't been able to check
