GL.iNet GL-MT6000(Flint 2) WiFi 6 Router, High-Speed 5GHz Gaming WiFi Router for Wireless Internet, Long range, 2 x 2.5G VPN Routers for Fibre Optic Modem, Computer Routers, Home Streaming & Business

Brilliant router. Often available on offer so great value for money. Wifi range is great and fast, 2.5gb ports work nicely. Router doesn't looked ridiculous like some of the gaming ones available and has holes in the back for wall mounting, so this is easy to hide away. User interface is a nice layer over openwrt and all the openwrt settings are available too. Support is good with regular firmware updates and because it's based on openwrt, this will keep running and be updatable even after the manufacturer stops supporting 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.

Comes with dd wrt built in accessed through luci. Very good so far without touching too manh things. There are endless things to tinker with if thats your bag. Signal reaches all over my house with no issues. I installed cake and sqm. Which helps packet timing and prevents bursts, especially on fttp connections with pppoe (basically bt). Which helps with prevent lag in server based fps games and also goes some way to getting fair treatment from servers regarding lag compensation, something id struggled tremendously with over the last few years due to a tempermental xr500. Recommeneded for the likes of battlefield and warzone, there are countless nimber of optikns to add and tinker with which can help you with getting a fair game and decent consistent connection. Piece of cake and sqm is a must, ask chat gpt to help set it up, be observent and you cant go wrong. My games arent perfect but they are narrowing in with consistency. You can narrow out bad servers and block them by observing pack behaviour within luci, i havent done that yet as so far im satisfied with what i mentioned above. Recommended.

I do a lot of streaming via apps on a Nvidia Shield TV Pro and decided to look for a router which could host a VPN client due to the consistently low VPN speeds I was experiencing on the Shield. With a 500 Mbps broadband service the best speed I could achieve on the Shield with the NordVPN app installed was 130 Mbps. Trial with a different VPN provider produced similar results. After some homework the thought was moving the VPN app from the Shield to a router could possibly resolve the issue so I bought the GL-MT6000 Flint 2 because along with most of the major VPN providers it natively supports NordVPN. The results were amazing, 475 Mbps on the Shield with NordVPN activated on the GL.iNet router. It also has Adguard Home built in and natively supports NextDNS, all in all just perfect for my needs and best of all it just works. For the price a surprisingly fast processor, loads of RAM with fully customisable firmware via a very intuitive interface. Fully recommended.

I am using it as my main router, and a VPN client utilising split tunnelling. It's been nothing short of phenomenal - very reliable and high-performing. I've observed max protocol speeds using both OpenVPN & WireGuard, where the limiting factor was the VPN Host rather than this magnificent device. UI is simple to understand and navigate. It is also extremely versatile - if you are a casual user, the setup is very straightforward. At the same time, if you want to dive deeper, there is no limit to how granular a setup you want to make. Imo, this is a very capable and stable VPN-focused router.

Love it, used it to replace my TPlink S4 3 unit Mesh system. WiFi is really good. Love the addition of the VPN, AdGuard and Luci openWRT. Configured Unbound, the pages whip in so fast.

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've tried my fair share of routers, but the Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) has actually outdone my expectations, considering that I value privacy, speed, and control of the network most. Setup: The configuration is simple and easy to use. The web user interface (available through both GL.iNet and LuCI) is suitable for beginners and power users. I set it up with ProtonVPN directly on the router itself, so no VPN client software is required on every device now—a huge convenience. Performance: Performance is impressively high on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. Even when the VPN is running continually through the router, the speed loss is only minimal. The streaming, browsing, and video calling are uninterrupted and smooth. In addition, I have DNS filtering done through AdGuard Home, and the Flint 2 takes it all in stride with no noticeable slowdowns. Security & Privacy: • Full VPN tunneling to protect all devices that are connected • DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) for encrypted DNS queries • A customizable kill switch that prevents data leaks if the VPN connection drops • The ability to skip the VPN on a certain device or app Network Management: I like the convenience of having independent SSIDs, deciding whether to give both bands the same or different names, and the ability to isolate devices when necessary. Also nice is the feature of labeling some devices such as my work laptop or guest device to a non-VPN Telus connection for selective access. Extras: GL.iNet updates the firmware for performance and security on a regular basis, and the community support is good. The device is also quiet and does not use a fan, ideal for home use. Final Thoughts: If you want a robust, privacy-orientated router that is capable of running an entire VPN client, ad- and tracker-blocking, and sustaining maximum speed, Flint 2 is a winner. The best for those that must have end control of the network but will not compromise speed in the least. Highly recommended!

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

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.

Prima router met VPN cliënt mogelijkheid. Duidelijke UI in verschillende talen waaronder Nederlands. Eenvoudige configuratie en VPN inrichting voor de meest gangbare VPN providers.
