Review: 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 desertcart 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: 4/2024 I 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.
Review: Recommended by IT Pro - As a high IT professional and avid open source software enthusiast, I cannot express how in love with this product I am. It gives you the best of all worlds. For home users: It's very affordable, It's easy to install, reliable, fast. For fellow techies: Comes with the latest AX speeds, and OpenWRT and LUCI pre-installed "underneath" their own proprietary web gui. Their webgui really helps fill some of the user-friendliness gaps in the underlying management system, such as vpn and ddns configuration. But for whatever their gui doesn't cover, there's nothing you can't do with this router by accessing the "under the hood" LUCI gui through the "advanced settings" link. The body seems to be made simpler, cheaper. Basic construction, antennas only pivot on a single axis, no swivel. I like to think no expense was wasted on aesthetics with this unit. It's backed by a POWERFUL hardware platform for its price class, equivalent to some of the mainstream brands you'd have to spend 250+ to get. 4 core ARM processor with almost half a gig of RAM, CPU SKU is suspiciously similar to RPi 3B+ (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually what this was under the plastic), so it seems to be open source hardware as well. It makes all the advanced stuff a tech enthusiast would want to do, SO easy. Hosting servers, simple. It gives you a free DDNS URL you can CNAME your domains to. You can enable adguard, VPN, TOR with the click of a button. No need to mess around building a PIHole or other similar device. Absolutely brilliant. Anyways, if you're looking for the best union of horsepower, affordability, FOSS and configurability - this is your best product on the market currently.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can vpn be enabled for individual devices connected to the flint, leaving some off the vpn if desired?**
A: You can set the guest wifi to have VPN. Whatever you want to have VPN, connect by guest network. If you want an Ethernet connection to have VPN set the IP address or MAC. These settings are under VPN - VPN policies. Turn off VPN for all functions, turn on VPN for guest.

**Q: Ram info, openwrt info?**
A: Memory / Storage:
DDR3L 512MB / NAND-FLASH 128MB

Openwrt:
The firmware is based on Qualcomm SDK, which is a deeply modified OpenWrt distribution, with Linux Kernel 4.4.60. It does not support the latest vanilla OpenWrt yet.

**Q: Can i use a usb hub on the 3.0 usb on the back or just one usb device. Follow up question does it recognize multiple flash drives or just one.**
A: I would suggest researching the hubs... I can't remember the specific type but a lot of plug n play hubs that don't require an additional power cord, force the OS to recognize each hub port independently by creating a file tree for them or some hubs will create the file tree within itself ... some hubs , it doesn't matter if the device it attaches to supports this function or not. This capability I mention depends on how they wire each USB port inside the hub. These are usually the most basic hubs made. They're usually not advertised as doing this but people usually mention it in the reviews. They may be listed as something other than Hub, like a splitter, extender, additional ports, or pass-through

**Q: Does this run a modern version of openwrt?**
A: it currently runs a 15.05 openwrt qsdk-based firmware 3.2xx, however, a beta is out for a 4.x firmware that incorporates the userland of 21.02 and should be compatible with its packages (except kernel packages).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ does its job well
*by L***D on March 17, 2022*

I currently have three WiFi routers at my house. 1) combo DSL modem/router provided by AT&T, my internet service provider. I have turned off wifi capabilities on this device and use this purely as a DSL modem. 2) TP-Link Archer AX11000 WiFi 6 router for all internet access except for streaming services (through VPN). An excellent router but lacks VPN client support. 3) GL.iNet GL-AX1800 (Flint) WiFi6 for streaming services through VPN (mostly to access content that is blocked in my geographical location). Also, rumor has it there is at least one device in my house running few not-so-trustworthy add-ons in Kodi! Both GL.iNet and TP-Link routers are connected to DSL modem through network cables. What do I like about this router? * easy setup through web browser * VPN configuration as simple as uploading (through web admin interface of this router) the configuration files from VPN provider * supports Wireguard VPN protocol * free AdGuard service blocking ads and trackers * kill switch (stops internet access when VPN connection drops) * great coverage throughout my house (even though I use the “Low” Transmission Power setting. The choices are Max, High, Medium, Low) * Wireguard speeds are good for my use case. Per speedtest: 40ms ping, 45Mbps download, 20Mbps upload. This is excellent considering that the max speed my DSL service gives me is only 75Mbps. Cons according to me? * no way to turn off the lone LED on this device. (TP-Link routers allow turning off all lights. It can even be scheduled for when they stay on and when they are off.) * no way to schedule automatic reboot of the router, I have to remember to manually reboot the router (through web interface) once a month or so to keep it running smoothly. This reboot is not a rule or recommendation but I just do it. (my ASUS router provides scheduling to automatically reboot once any day of the month/week. I have it scheduled for the first day of every month. Haven’t had to log into ASUS router for years since initial setup.) Although this router is small, sleek, and whisper quiet, I don’t make purchasing decision based on how the router looks. As long as all it does is sit in the house where it is placed and does its job well, I don’t even have to look at it. And this GL.iNet router does its job well. Hasn’t been any problem for over four months that I’ve had this. More details, with images, on my blog. Edit (Nov 24, 2023): The current firmware version, 4.4.6, allows for "Scheduled Tasks" where I can schedule (via GUI) 1) LED Display 2) Reboot 3) 5G wi-fi and 4) 2.4G wi-fi. The reboot schedule allows for any day of the week but not a days of a month. What this means is the reboot can be done once (or multiple times) a week. I would like to reboot once a month. This can't be done through the graphical interface. However, since this router is running OpenWRT, I have scheduled (through Advanced Settings -> System -> Scheduled Tasks) a cron job to reboot once a month. #reboot at 4.44 am every first Saturday of the month 44 4 1-7 * 6 /sbin/reboot
