Travel Router for Tailscale and VPN with Preferably Camouflaging Capabilities

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

Firmware 4.9 Questions

"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

Should I get another Flint or something else?

You’re really asking two things here, so let’s break it down. 1) Best way to extend coverage to the garage If you can run Ethernet, that’s the best option. Add a second router or AP in Access Point mode as this gives you full speed and stable connections. Another Flint 2 will work, but it’s honestly

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 Outdated "stable" on EOL kernel, op24 stuck in beta limbo since Nov 2025, forced clean flashes.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

❓ Got Questions About GL.iNet? Now’s your chance to ask Alfie Zhao – our GL.iNet Founder – directly! 🙌

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

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

Most powerful/fastest WIFI 6/AX router fully compatible with OpenWRT?

powerful supported wifi 6 openwrt routers that would easily handle running an openvpn server That's what everyone seems to have missed... Gigabit OpenVPN requires a processor with AES-NI support running at approximately 3 GHz. GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (aka Flint 2), which some posters have recommended, is

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

Why openwrt on GL.iNet Flint 2?

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
