Rock Solid Router
A really great router! I have had this in service since October 2024 and it has been far superior to my past routers. recently had an issue with 5G connections being dropped and found an issue with kernel warning nf_conntrack: expectation table full. after a morning of troubleshooting i found out turning off Full Cone NAT solved the issue. I am not sure if it was a bug in the last firmware update or not, but I will try turning it back on after the next update. Still this router is a great buy, the speed and the customizable nature is very much appreciated.

Great VPN server and features
I love this router because of its ability to work as a private VPN server You can pair it with a GliNet travel router and create you own tunnel, between the two routers or just connect to your home router via Wiregaurd from Windows or Cell Phone It is powerful enough to support a dozen VPN connections at the same time

Worth the money (excellent tech support)
My apartment complex provides fiber internet as a hotshot throughout with a captive portal. I was able to log in, join the service and the router remained logged in the whole time. From time to time it will get kicked off but it will choose the alternate connection I've set it up for.The connections are fast. I've connected to my VPN using wireguard and am using the ad guard as well. Surfing is smooth on either my 5 or 2.4 WAN. My speed, which is relegated to the VPN, works very well. The stability of the router is very good thus far. I experienced some lock ups which required me to unplug the router. (More about this later).I have several smart devices such as a Google Nest, a Bose smart speaker, Samsung TV and a Fire stick. Neither of these likes to go through the VPN. On my Fire stick I noticed that Amazon Prime will not work. Disney works, Netflix works. To get everything on the Fire stick to work, I set up VPN rules now. I made the router route all selected MAC addresses through the VPN so all my other devices bypass the VPN. Oh, once you set up the VPN rules it helped to reboot the router.It took me some time to figure this out so I wanted to pass this on to those that might have a similar situation at their home. I've set up the router for remote access and I use the app. Both work very well. Note, you can't control the VPN settings remotely. If you're connected to the router, the app does it all. On the web based remote access, it has a living map but I haven't figured that out so it doesn't display my location on the map.Summary: the repeater works very well. The drops and pick ups I was experiencing were, from what I could tell, from the VPN server. I'll make an update later now that I'm using my current configuration of having all my smart devices bypass the VPN.Update: 4/2024I had a big speed drop. I'm no longer using the VPN, just the built in Adguard, which works really well! I've kept up with the firmware updates and apparently the previous update really messed up my speeds. I was originally getting about 95/95 and my speeds were down to like 5/15.I contacted tech support who made every attempt to resolve my issue. My unit, being out of warranty was no longer exchangeable. The company offered me a discount on the Flint 2, which appears to be a great upgrade. I ordered it!Upon login in to my router to copy some settings, it immediately notified me of an available firmware upgrade, which I did. I decided to check the speeds again. And wouldn't you know it, my router, in the repeater mode I use it in, was back to normal. My hotspot speeds are 100/100 connected directly. Through the Flint, they are about 97/98! I'm so glad to have it working again. I thought the hardware had failed but it just didn't like the previous firmware. The new firmware fixed everything!This is a great router and a great company that is overlooked. I highly recommend them and their products. As you can see, I had purchased the Flint 2 thinking my router had an internal failure. I trust their products enough to go with them again!I wish to add, the UI they provide, is awesome and so easy to use with helpful tips. I do wish to convey my experience with their product and help anyone whose looking for a great product with Repeater, Router, and other modes, or needing to connect to a hotspot like myself.

FIRMWARE UPDATES ARE DESTRUCTIVE
i bought this router in November 2023 and until yesterday (April 2025) have been very happy with it. Now I am PISSED OFF because an update from GL.iNet completely hosed up the system and cost me much time and money.I have been an operating system engineer for most of my 40 year career. This router's firmware is based on OpenWRT, which is an extremely well vetted and widely used open-source operating system for routers. I bought the router precisely because of the OpenWRT firmware and customized the configuration for use in my consulting practice.Until yesterday, software updates were painless and were consistent with OpenWRT updates.HOWEVER, the latest update to the firmware that GL-iNet pushed out was destructive to all my customizations, deleted needed files I needed, and even removed necessary software I had installed from OpenWRT. On top of that, the update deleted the software repositories needed for software installation.I've lost countless hours of work, and I no longer trust this company. I can only speculate if the update is part of some wider trade war between the USA and Chinese companies, but I don't care. What I know is that the GL.iNet F****D me and I'm not going to buy anything from them again.
