This GL.iNet Flint 2 is a massive upgrade for anyone looking to get the most out of a high-speed fiber connection. The dual 2.5G ports are the standout feature here, as they allow for true multi-gigabit speeds that most standard routers just can’t handle. I found the setup process to be incredibly straightforward through the web interface, and the WiFi 6 coverage is strong enough to reach every corner of my home without any dead zones. It handles gaming and 4K streaming simultaneously without any noticeable lag or stuttering. I especially appreciate the built-in VPN support and AdGuard Home integration, which provide an extra layer of privacy and security for all my connected devices right out of the box. It feels like a professional-grade piece of hardware that is still easy enough for a regular user to manage. The range on this router is impressive and significantly better than the standard equipment provided by my ISP. Even with dozens of smart home devices connected at once, the performance remains stable and snappy. The build quality feels solid, and the cooling vents do a great job of keeping the unit from getting too warm during heavy downloads. It is the perfect choice for a home office or a gaming setup where consistent speed is the top priority. Overall, it is a powerful and reliable router that offers a lot of advanced features without being overly complicated to use.

I had a Synology RT6600ax that I bought just under a year ago. I really like that router, but I didn't like the fact it only has one 2.5Gb LAN port and the WAN port is only 1Gb. I upgraded my internet plan to 2.5Gb, so that router would no longer work for me. I could have connected the single LAN port to my 2.5Gb switch, but the internet would be limited to 1Gb. I tried various workarounds, but decided it needed to be replaced. I did some research and people were raving about the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) router. I was a bit unsure, but the price was so good I decided it wouldn't be too big of a risk. The risk has so far paid off and this is an exceptional router. It runs on OpenWRT, but configuring it wasn't too difficult because GL.iNet has a custom GUI which simplifies things. I like the custom GUI, but I also like that the OpenWRT GUI is still accessible for more advanced settings. Once I got the router up and running, I was shocked at the WiFi performance. In addition to the Synology router, I had three Synology MR2200ac access points. Even with the GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) router in the basement, it still had a much faster speeds than the Synology access points. I almost didn't connect my Synology access points, but I thought it would be best to do so since I have IoT devices outside the house and the signal might not go that far (especially seeing as how the router was in the basement equipment room). Configuring the Synology MR2200ac access points without the Synology router was still possible. I was able to have the wireless devices that connect to the main network via the Synology APs appear on my GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) router and be handled via DHCP. I still need to figure out VLAN on OpenWRT to have my IoT devices be handles by the GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) router DHCP. These devices are currently being handled by the Synology APs, and it they are working fine. I originally bought this router expecting to use it until I found something better. I don't know if I will be replacing it anytime soon. Though not as simple to configure as a Synology router, it outperforms my Synology RT6600ax router in many other ways.

This is a decent "home router" that comes with expandable "open source" firmware. This router has a number of features that my previous home router lacked. And this router also has better signal/range than other routers I've owned, and it also crashes less often than those other routers did. One router feature I really like is full support support for the semi-regulated DFS frequencies in the 5ghz WiFi band. While those frequencies are legal to use in the US, they do have extra regulations on them. And sadly most home routers don't implement those extra regulations, so you can't use the DFS frequencies with most home routers. But I found that configuring this router to use the DFS frequencies greatly increased my WiFi speeds (on some days more than doubling the speed gotten on the more traditional WiFi bands). And this router also has support for extra features that I don't personally use, but others might find handy. For example, this router has built-in support for VPNs (i.e. the router can setup a VPN into your network, or have your network use an external VPN). Also this router has an option to have the router itself do ad-blocking for all devices on your network. And because the firmware for this router is "open source" you can easily download/install other features you may want your router to do. So in my personal opinion this router really is the worth the retail price of around $160. Yes, this router is more costly than many home grade routers, but that higher price buys you a more reliable and feature rich router.

Regarding the Flint 2 GL-MT6000 router by GL.iNet received May 1, 2025 I have a Netgear CM600 cable modem (also purchased on Amazon IIRC) and 300/10 Mbit cable service feeding the Flint 2. After the very sad demise of the IQRouter company, I knew I couldn't be without a full featured OpenWRT based router that could handle SQM and Cake without choking and that would give me access to all those settings I was reading about on the internet. I wanted those A+ bufferbloat scores that the IQRouter gave me even if I had to wade through millions of misleading and obsolete configuration posts. The training wheels have come off and the Flint 2 has delivered. On the hardware side: The hefty passive heatsink inspires confidence because routers heat up under heavy load which can cause intermittent performance issues. The antennas can't swivel to the side unlike my stone age routers that you could rotate into a rabbit ears position. It appears this generation they are meant to stay parallel, likely for beamforming purposes. On the operating system and software side: If you're confronting the full fat OpenWRT for the first time like me then the slick Netdata monitor console which you can install, plus the preinstalled systemwide AdGuard ad blocking and VPN that can be turned on or off by clicking a button will make you feel satisfied. You can run a multimedia server, Tailscale for remote access and other stuff I didn't know I needed is built in and made easy. I can finally get a decent port forward for QBittorrent. WiFi coverage is as good or better than my last router although I don't have any WiFi 6 devices to test that band. The Flint 2 does have DFS bands on 5G WiFi that I didn't know existed. My cell phone sees those bands but my 4K Firestick doesn't. If you live in an apartment building then you will appreciate those DFS bands because not as many of your neighbors will have access to them, so less interference. There is a new GL.iNet firmware version in the works which is great to know, and anyway you can put vanilla OpenWRT on the device so obsolescence is not an issue. Their product release schedule is impressive too which gives me confidence in this company. Customer support was excellent. I contacted them about a mistake I had made which was not their responsibility and that was entirely their prerogative to dismiss yet they handled it with aplomb. Research indicates this is a good value router too, but don't buy on impulse if you know what I mean. In summary, if you've done your research, and this router is on your list of candidates, then I can recommend it. This review was written without the assistance of any AI, and ignoring all my browser's grammar autosuggestions to add more commas. I left out some hyphens too that the browser missed. Stupid browser.

I've owned a lot of routers in my time, and this one is the best by far. It's at an extremely affordable price, and offers basically every feature you can want. The hardware is more than enough to keep up with gigabit speeds, and the wifi speed and reliability is exceptional. The software is very nice and easy to use, and is based on OpenWRT which makes it easy to flash actual OpenWRT if needed. The only feature it doesn't have that I wish it did is PoE, but it's understandable that a home networking router wouldn't have that. This router (or one of GL.iNets other similar routers such as the GL-BE6500) is what I will be recommending to everyone I know, especially for those who need it for gaming.

Since the Flint 3 (wifi 7) model has already been released, I picked this unit up on sale to help improve the overall security of a T-Mobile Home Internet connection I have as a redundant Internet service for our rural home. The various T-Mobile Home Internet gateways do a reasonable job of delivering fast internet over 5G connections in many communities but they lock down many of the settings in order to simplify their own technical support protocols. I wanted to add more security to this link and better visibility into the actual traffic on it. For that project, I had to deal with the T-Mobile Gateway enforcing that it had to be the DHCP server and would only use its own DNS servers (the latter can be avoided on PCs, tablets, phones and other clients that can set their own DNS). I purchased a firewall that could run in "inline" mode without serving as router or DHCP server and matched that up with this Flint 2 product that could run in AP-Bridge mode. It is a wifi 6 unit, has excellent range, bandwidth and works well in either auto-select channel mode or manual channel assignment.network. I know there are a lot of features available in full-router mode that are disabled when the unit runs as an AP-Bridge, but I didn't need the headache that would cause when both the T-Mobile Gateway and the Flint 2 were independently performing NAT (network address translation) on my network traffic. I also know there are less expensive AP-Bridge products out there, but I wanted something that had a strong track record in performance, durability and fairly open code (much of the Flint 2 code base is from a fork of OpenWrt). Setup was a little convoluted, as everything starts with the assumption the consumer is setting up a router, but as long as you set up the SSID and password of the wifi network you'll want the unit to respond as in AP-Bridge mode everything goes relatively straight forward (such settings cannot be changed once in AP-Bridge mode!). This is a very versatile device and can meet almost any home network need. Documentation is minimal, consistent with the trend in home consumer electronics, but there are vendor videos and numerous YouTube videos out there on this particular model.

This router is amazing and very versatile. I love that it comes pre-installed with a version of OpenWrt because that opens a lot of possibilities you absolutely will not find in other consumer-grade routers. It generally just works right out of the box, but then you can customize it until your heart's content, even so far as to flash other versions of open source firmware (which is what I ultimately did since I was only using features from OpenWrt anyway). While it does not look like much (very boxy, plain), it has loads of good qualities. - The antennas do not rotate side-to-side, but they do rotate forward/backward to lay down flat on the top of the router for transport. - Has a 2 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM to handle all the packages, packets, and special firewall rules for your setup. - 2.5 Gbps WAN port for future needs. - This has four 1 Gbps ports and a 2.5 Gbps port that can be used for WAN failover or LAN, depending on settings (LAN by default). - The Wi-Fi range, even with 16 dBm transmit (Tx) power for 2.4GHz and 20 dBm for 5GHz, is more than adequate for my apartment. I lowered those values intentionally to test that. 2.4GHz can be set to 30 dBm, and 5GHz can be set to 24 dBm. - Connectivity has been excellent so far - for more than a week. - Supports WPA3-SAE for modern encrypted Wi-Fi connections. - It comes with a good 4-amp wall plug. - Construction is sturdy, not flimsy at all. - No overheating, despite my 8 VLANs and 6 simultaneous WiFi SSIDs. Granted, some of them are not heavily used. With the pre-installed OpenWrt (accessed through the Advanced Settings), it's possible to: - Setup multiple VLANs to isolate your networked devices - Install additional packages for more tailored setups - Run services like DDNS for Cloudflare (and others) - Completely lockdown your network through firewall traffic rules If you're looking for a powerful upgrade from an old Wi-Fi 5 device from 2013 (this was me), this is an excellent option, even without the newest Wi-Fi 6E and 7 features. I bought this during the 2026 Spring sale for a 15% discount, but I was going to buy it anyway at the full price at the time of writing because of the incredible versatility, powerful hardware, and peace of mind of modern security. Note: I ended up flashing OpenWrt 25.12.2 (latest at time of writing) onto the device because 1) I was only using features from OpenWrt anyway, and 2) the original firmware was limiting my ability to create and utilize the number of SSIDs I wanted for my setup.

This is easily the best router I've ever owned, very easy to set up, good coverage, fast and with a huge number of features. I'm running the stock firmware which has an easy to use interface but it can also run newer versions of OpenWRT. I really like how easy it is to set up AdGuard Home and it makes a noticeable difference in browsing speed and even blocks annoying ads on my game consoles. This is a stark improvement over my last router which was a few years old. My only complaint is that there is a maddening bug with the Network Acceleration feature that makes loading some things on WiFi extremely unstable with hanging sites that load extremely slowly or not at all. After disabling this feature performance is excellent. I haven't checked the latest firmware to see if this is resolved but it's something to note.
