Flint 2 (GL-MT6000 ) - bug reports - collective thread

vlan id 835 where should it be inserted in luci?

my opinion is to limit yourself to the stock software which is intuitive with many facilities, the risk is high of bricking!

If you go in luci → network → interfaces → wan edit.

Replace the device with eth1.835 :+1:

Edit

For pppoe you want to select protocol to pppoe :wink:, if its not there no problem you have to go to luci → system → software (click on update), then type in filter: luci-proto-pppoe install it reboot.

thanks everyone for the help now mt6000 very stable thanks

It could be related to flow control being activated on one 2,5 Gbit Port. What is connected to it?

ethernet 1 is wan connected to t-mobile isp gateway
ethernet 2 is hardwired to the AP (Asus Router)

It seems a Ethernet crash. Any special action?

A lot of Wireguard transfers (using both uplink/downlink)

@admon version 4.5.6 is stable version now? Or need to wait one month? When coming 4.5.8 stable? (after Chinese new year)

Can you disable flow control on the 2,5gbit device?

I could disable it on the routers but the gateway doesn’t let me configure it.

Why do you think that I should know it? :smile:
I know as much as you.

Stable is a big word currently. So stable in speaking of “general usable” - yep. Stable like “Wi-Fi is totally doing it’s job and there are no issues” - nah.

Stable release

Also called production release, the stable release is the last release candidate (RC) which has passed all stages of verification and tests. Any known remaining bugs are considered acceptable. This release goes to production.

Source: Wiki

I think the emphasis is on “known bugs”.

A software will never be perfect, same as programmers. But I would agree that a software should be free from bugs which are known and verified before it reaches the stable stage.

But regarding the open source WiFi driver problem GL-Inet already mentioned that its hard to fix.

So, I’ve read a lot of people’s comments/issues here, but anyways, what’s the best version right now for the Flint 2? Can someone who has tried these versions give me their suggestion? (I’ll be able to try the Flint 2 in a couple of days so thanks for any recommendation)

I tried my luck with 4.5.6 after updating to 4.5.5 and downgrading to 4.5.4. So far, so good. I turned off 160 MHz wide channels because of a new tablet. I still would’ve turned it off because I don’t think the initial issue with it has been fixed with this version.

You can always downgrade but you’d have to start from scratch and it can be a hassle to set everything up again, depending on your settings.

In theory you can simply import the config file again (via the LuCi interface), if the OpenWRT version stays the same.

I’m running 4.5.7, and it’s totally fine for me. But I don’t rely in big style on 2.4 GHz

On old firmware 4.5.5 and new firmware 4.5.6 I am still having problems with devices disconnecting from the 5GHz band.

Going into the wifi settings it say under the 5 GHz connected but no internet.
To fix I either turn wifi off then on again or select another wifi then back again.

This Flint 2 modem was purchased to replace an old router that was unreliable.

I was very happy with the 5GHz distance and speeds but not the 2.4GHz speeds or distance but the 2.4GHz distance is better than the old router and more reliable with less disconnects from the wifi security cameras.

This disconnect daily from the 5GHz band is making me want to return this unit.
As a plus I find this unit the best bang for buck in Australia that’s why I purchased it.

Hope there is a fix soon.

Same here. Before purchasing this router, I was on the forum and seeing some bugs around. Still went ahead to purchase it. Set it up with 2.4ghz on 20mhz band along with 5ghz on 80mhz band, hoping that I could get away Scott free from all the bugs encountered.

Even without any other plugins or additional configurations. And why am I not surprised, wasn’t spared either. Frequent disconnection on the 5ghz band even though I’m just 4 metres away from the router. I can barely go on work calls without asking ‘are we good?’

It had to work as a bare bones router… Hope it’s not too much to ask for.

And for clarity, I am running on 4.5.6. The so-called stable version of this router.
