- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) is a high performance WiFi 6 router from GL-iNet. Powered by the MediaTek Filogic 830 (MT7986), the Flint 2 integrated a 4 cores, 64-bit CPU clocked at 2.0GHz. It is also comes with 1GB of DDR4 RAM and 8GB of eMMC storage
For I/O, the Flint 2 has 2 x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, 4 x Gigabit Ethernet port, 6000 Mbps WiFi througput in total (AX6000) and a USB 3.0 port. The device supports dual-wan/multi-wan setup with Ethernet, Cellular & WiFi.
The device is running a customized version of OpenWrt 23.05. Right now, there is no information of official OpenWrt support, but I hope there will be good news soon.

Thanks for watching and see you in the next video! - Наука та технологія
I got the Flint 1 router because of your review so I was hoping you’d review Flint 2! Gl-Inet needs tk sponsor you!!
Thanks for the comment and support, as always!
This video (Flint 2) is actually sponsored by GL-iNet. However, I my review/testing is from the real life usage and it reflects the true peformance, there is no personal bias.
Great video! I had been wondering about this device, so thank you for covering it!
Bought it 2 weeks ago. Best router I have ever had. I max out my ISP 500/500mbit when Wireguard VPN active. Amazing router.
Cool. The Flint 2 can go further than that. Enjoy your all-new-router!
@@VanTechCorner - He said he got the Flint2 (I'm guessing), anyway 500Mbps over Wireguard is quite good. I have tried tethering my 5G iPhone 13 to both the Flint1 and Fint2, but the highest speed I get is 50Mbps (both ethernet or WiFi). On the phone or when tethered directly to Windows I get over 400Mbps. What do you think the could be causing the low speeds?
Thanks so much for testing PPPOE on this! Really appreciate knowing this will work well. (we have an ISP in Canada that forces PPPOE as the only option)
Thanks for the comment. Same here in Vietnam, even though we have GPON and XGSPON, all the ISP are using PPPoE, unfortunately.
Great review, I hope they will do wifi 7 flint
Im waiting for this. Nice!
p.s. its better to use 4.5.7 version with MTK proprietary driver since it is far more stable and has no 2.4ghz high latency low speed problem. Only caveat is that its based on Openwrt 21.02 but with release 5 and newer kernel, I was still able to install packages that I need.
Thanks for the information. I am going to check this out too!
Hi, I'm watching your videos about openwrt, I wish you could make a video that talks about configuring a wifi repeater with openwrt, there are many questions regarding this subject. Thank you very much and continue helping us with your videos.
Hi, I have some videos about WiFi:
Wireless Bridge: ua-cam.com/video/fl1TXlQakxg/v-deo.html
Wireless Client / AP Client: ua-cam.com/video/VX2PYzGMntc/v-deo.html
May I know what is your setup/question?
can you configure VLANs on it without going to LuCi or installing the "default" openwrt?
How about the flint 1 how many square feet coverage of that?
Is it possible to create virtual network cards in this router to build a local network with vlan?
Sir, I want to ask about hotspots with 2000 clients using OpenWRT. what should I prepare
Please make a tutorial on how to install daloradius with coova-chilli in openwrt
may i have the link of media converter?

Are the antenna on this device removeable? They don't swivel sideways so it'd be handy if you could replace them with ones that do.
Hey, it is not removeable, but foldable :)
Those are good wifi speeds I also have 1Gb up/down fiber. Has anyone tested this router with the latest stock openwrt snapshot? If so how is the performance compared to the router vendor's openwrt? I am asking because I prefer to compile my own openwrt builds from source with luci pre-installed as well as some other modules.
if you can and wanted, please do a Mikrotik video to set up a fiber with an IPTV. thanks
Hello, could you test your unit on 2.4Ghz? We are having a lot of problems at this frequency with the MT6000
Thanks!
Sure. I will do a detail testing of the Wireless throughput :)
What kind of internet speed of this which country is this?
Simple the best home router on the market right NOW, at 150 EURs puts any Synology or any other brand at shame, open source wrt and dual 2.5GB LAN is just a cherry in top of the cake.
Consider price & performance (Ethernet, Wireless, VPN) I agree with you. Yet there are different choices/routers that can do 2.5Gbps, such as R6S, NanoPC-T6 (also running OpenWrt based), UniFi, Mikrotik devices but these products are on a different price range.
@@VanTechCorner Im using Unifi, but is a much more expensive solution, with this and a cheap 2.5GB switch any home user can have WIFI6, router and 2.5Gb LAN for all the house with less than 250 EURs, there isn't many others solutions out there for the price.
I test it and for me is good router but not perfect. Instability when using SQM and also there is no UPNP to map ports automatically and other stuff. Disabling NAT acceleration sometimes is good choice but as you seen from the video the speed cut a lot
But considering price, yes it's a value choice.
Any chinese backdoors to worry about on stock firmware?
You can get the source code and built your own firmware - If you have any concern on backdoors.
Could you measure the power consumption of the Flint 2 please?
its indeed important for me too, as I run a home lab with 2 1200va UPSs, power is an important factor.. shouldn't be skipped in the reviews
Can you make a Mesh WiFi with 2 units of those?
Hey, I am not really sure on this because this is a router, no AP. You can contact GL-iNet directly and ask them about this.

Bạn chỉ mình cách mua về Việt Nam với. Thấy thích quá mà không đặt ship về Việt được

I recommend updating to the beta version as it is far superior in stability, wifi and everything else, if you are going to update do so using uboot as it is a downgrade of the openwrt version from 23.05 to 21.02
wasted, didnt think it was 2x2 MIMO for the wifi 6, else would have recommended this to bulk of my buddies
however as a security or adblocking router gateway, its more than enough
but for power users with up to 5 family members with assumed 3 devices each, its gonna be a wifi nightmare for sure to have this deployed,
I need a media converter info please
