Simply the best OpenWRT WiFi 6 router.
Bought this to replace a TP-Link Archer C7 v5 bought 3 years back thru Amazon and reflashed with OpenWRT. Began having coverage and speed issues, so replaced with Flint-2 (purchased from gl-inet us site, same as Amazon). Speed is excellent, total WiFi coverage, including DFS, which let's you use the 6ghz band (even in India), where there us no neighbouring interference (nobody in my neighbourhood uses WiFi 6). Enough RAM under the hood and a powerful processor to handle adguard, VPN (both as server and as client), tailscale for accessing your home network / storage from anywhere, Tor connectivity, and many more things that are not available in an OEM router. Best purchase I made. Price is slightly steep, but well worth the money you spend.

"Moving from my old, clunky router to the Flint 2 was like upgrading from a dial-up modem to fiber optics! The setup was surprisingly easy, even for someone like me who's not super tech-savvy. What truly blew me away was the speed and stability. No more frustrating buffering during my nightly streaming binges or dropped connections in the middle of an important video call. My entire home now has seamless, strong Wi-Fi, reaching every nook and cranny. Plus, the design is sleek and modern, a nice bonus. This router isn't just an improvement; it's a game-changer. Highly, highly recommend!"

Router uses a custom openwrt firmware, you can flash normal openwrt on it but i decided to stay on the custom version. It’s great with good specs.

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.

Nach intensiver Recherche habe ich mich bewusst für den GL.iNet Flint 2 (MT6000) entschieden und bin absolut begeistert. Dieses Gerät ist die perfekte Symbiose aus roher Leistung und der Freiheit, die nur ein wirklich offenes System bieten kann. Die entscheidende Wahl: MediaTek statt Qualcomm Meine Kaufentscheidung fiel ganz gezielt auf den Flint 2 wegen seines quelloffenen MediaTek (ARM) Prozessors. Im Gegensatz zum neueren Flint 3, der einen Qualcomm-Chipsatz verwendet (welcher 500Mhz weniger Takt bietet), wird der MediaTek-SoC des Flint 2 erstklassig und direkt vom offiziellen OpenWrt-Projekt unterstützt. Für mich als Enthusiast, der die volle Kontrolle und Aktualität eines "Vanilla" OpenWrt sucht, war das der entscheidende Faktor. Während der Flint 3 auf die (sehr gute) Hersteller-Firmware angewiesen ist, die auf OpenWrt basiert, aber bei Updates etwas hinterherhinkt, habe ich hier die Freiheit, jederzeit die neueste, offizielle Version zu flashen. Performance & Stabilität – Absolut überzeugend Schon mit der hauseigenen GL.iNet-Firmware merkt man, was in diesem Router steckt. Die Quad-Core-CPU langweilt sich im Normalbetrieb förmlich (Load Average nahe Null), was riesige Reserven für anspruchsvolle Aufgaben bedeutet. Ich betreibe eine Gigabit-Leitung, mehrere WLAN-Netze, anspruchsvolles QoS (SQM) und einen netzwerkweiten Ad-Blocker (AdGuard Home). Selbst unter Volllast bleibt alles pfeilschnell und die Latenz stabil. Abstürze oder Neustarts? Fehlanzeige. Das Gerät läuft seit der Einrichtung absolut felsenfest. Zwei Wege zum Ziel: Original-Firmware vs. Vanilla OpenWrt Hier glänzt der Flint 2 besonders. Die Original-Firmware von GL.iNet bietet bereits mehr Features als 99% der Router auf dem Markt. Die Einrichtung von VPNs, AdGuard Home oder Gastnetzen ist kinderleicht und funktioniert hervorragend. Für die meisten Power-User ist sie mehr als ausreichend. Für Enthusiasten liegt die wahre Stärke jedoch in der nahtlosen Installation von offiziellem OpenWrt. Die Installation war ein Kinderspiel: Einfach das sysupgrade-Image flashen, und schon hat man ein pures, schlankes System. Man profitiert von schnelleren Sicherheitsupdates direkt von der Community und hat die absolute Kontrolle über jedes Detail – von VLAN-Tagging bis zu komplexen Firewall-Regeln. Fazit: Der GL-iNet MT6000 ist eine Hochleistungs-Plattform für Anwender, die das Maximum aus ihrem Netzwerk herausholen wollen. Die Kombination aus brachialer Leistung, grundsolider Stabilität und der Wahlfreiheit zwischen einer exzellenten, benutzerfreundlichen Hersteller-Firmware und einem vollwertigen, offiziellen OpenWrt ist in dieser Preisklasse unschlagbar. Wer die Kontrolle will und sich für die Open-Source-Kompatibilität entscheidet, bekommt hier ein Gerät, das selbst Router schlägt, die das Doppelte kosten. Eine uneingeschränkte 5-Sterne-Empfehlung
