I've been using the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) for a few weeks now, and it's been a game-changer for my home network. The setup was surprisingly easy—just followed the video tutorial, updated the firmware, and I was good to go. The custom GUI is intuitive, but I love that I can still dive into the OpenWRT interface for more advanced tweaks.
The WiFi 6 performance is insane. I used to have a Synology router with mesh extenders, but this single router covers my entire house without any dead zones. Streaming 4K movies while my partner games online? No lag, no buffering—just smooth, uninterrupted performance. The 2.5G ports are a nice touch too, especially since I upgraded to a 2.5G internet plan.
One of my favorite features is the built-in AdGuard Home. It’s like having a Pi-hole without the extra hardware. Browsing is so much cleaner now, with ads and trackers blocked at the router level. And if you’re into VPNs, the WireGuard support is blazing fast—I’m getting near-full speed on my 200 Mbps connection.
The only minor gripe? The antennas don’t rotate as much as I’d like, but that’s a small trade-off for such a powerful device. If you’re looking for a router that combines performance, flexibility, and advanced features (without breaking the bank), the Flint 2 is absolutely worth it.
