Very impressive router. Good stability, valuable hardware, rich in features and functions. Easy to setup. Strong signal coverage. Good also as repiter. Cover most of security features if you setup. Support most of VPN's. Quick reboot if needed. Work fast and stable. Brilliant router with beautiful interface.

Fantastic router! Literally night and day difference over isp-supplied router.Setup was very straight forward. Plug it in, turn it on, run an update and the router was ready to go.If like me, you’re isp is locked to the supplied router, this isn’t a problem as the isp routers MAC address can easily be cloned over to the MT6000 and everything is plain sailing from there.Coverage is fantastic. Previously I had a mesh system setup that still struggled with delivering advertised speeds throughout my house (five bedroom, large property). The MT6000 however easily covers the whole house and gives far better speeds throughout.Tonnes of additional features such as a variety of VPN and cloud services that I’ll probably never use, but nice to haves. Build quality is also excellent, much better than anything I’ve previously owned.To summarise, if you’re after a replacement router from your isp supplied one to improve performance, then I highly recommend the IG.Net MT6000.

There's a lot to like about this router - software/firmware is being actively developed, and it's based on OpenWRT which is a good thing. Despite what you might read/see on Youtube, as I type this in early June 2024, the device _is_ stable (although that hasn't been the case judging by the GLInet forums).The UI is snappy, and the unit offers performance comparable with devices multiple times more expensive - and the wifi coverage is considerably better than what I had previously!Whilst the router does DHCP and DNS as you'd expect, if you're doing anything with static reservations or whatever, when you enable AdGuard you have to redo that DHCP/DNS in AdGuard itself - not a problem, just something to be aware of.The fly in the ointment for me is that I have a lowly FTTC/VDSL connection which is looked after by a fritz box (a 7530 AX). This won't act as a dumb modem unfortunately, so I can either use the Flint2 as an AP (an absolute waste given the functionality on offer here) or I can double NAT - and for reasons we don't need to go into here, double NAT doesn't work for me. With this in mind, I'm returning it - hopefully when (if?!) FTTP becomes an option, I'll revisit the device - but for now I need the VDSL stability the fritz box gives me...There's every chance you'd be very happy with the Flint2 - it is a very capable device, offers tremendous value for money, and I'll happily recommend it.

I’ve been using the Flint 2 mostly for VPN at home and it’s been great. Setup was simple; I got WireGuard up and running pretty quickly. The speeds are solid and I haven’t noticed any slowdowns even with multiple devices connected.Wi-Fi coverage is strong throughout the house and the signal stays stable. I also like that it has 2.5G ports, which are a nice bonus if you’re doing any heavy data transfers or just want fast wired connections.One feature I really like is the built-in AdGuard Home support. It blocks ads and trackers across the whole network so I don’t have to mess with browser extensions on every device. It’s super useful for a cleaner, faster browsing experience and for keeping things a bit more private.What I appreciate most is the flexibility. It runs on OpenWrt, so if you’re into tweaking settings or setting up custom configurations, it gives you the room to do that. That said, it still works great out of the box if you don’t want to mess with anything.Overall, it does exactly what I need: fast, reliable, and secure VPN for home use with a few extra features that make a real difference. Would recommend.

I've been using a couple of Netgear WAC124s as my main OpenWrt gateway routers for a while which works fine but given the complexity of my VLAN/WireGuard/IPv6 networks I decided to upgrade the one at my larger site and, having been impressed with their OpenWrt travel routers I chose this one after checking the specs. The unit is very solidly built. The antennae support both desktop & wall positioning and the unit looks stylish when in place. The hardware consists of a quad-core ARMv8 CPU running a 64-bit kernel, one 2.5GB/s Ethernet port connected to the CPU directly and a 5-port Ethernet VLAN switch connected to the CPU via a second Ethernet interface. One of the switch ports is also 2.5GB/s and the rest are 1GB/s and OpenWrt uses the Linux DSA architecture to manage the switch. The CPU is supported with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of flash memory. A MediaTek MT7986 provides 2.4GHz WiFi and a separate MediaTek MT7986 provides simultaneous 5GHz WiFi. If that's not enough a USB3 port allows additional hardware to be added. The Ethernet & WiFi hardware supports a considerable amount of packet & NAT/routing offload meaning that the powerful CPU has even more cycles available for other tasks.This combination is more than capable of running any router workload including 2GB/s FTTP ISP connections and there is enough flash to support running additional services such a file or mail server using external USB3-UAS drives, Asterisk telephony server, Apache2 or NGINX web/proxy or even a Home Assistant instance in a Docker container or een several of these at the same time.GL.iNet's stock firmware is very good adding a slick interface to the standard OpenWrt secure shell and LuCI interfaces which are still available or one can replace the whole lot with stock OpenWrt as I did.This is a bit more expensive than for example the new OpenWrt One but is much better looking and far more capable and given the resources is future-proofed for a good ten years at least in my opinion.
