I received Flint yesterday and I started using it, upgrade to latest firmware v3.206-0929, configure DDNS/NextDNS/Wi-Fi … etc.
Just when I feel happy that I can enjoy using the new router, the Wi-Fi issues starts popping up.
Symptom:
you connect Wi-Fi to Flint, it connects smoothly
start surfing Internet for a while then I found out that the web pages just stuck there and doesn’t load anymore, contents stop loading, unless you disconnect the Wi-Fi then reconnect again.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the situations repeat again to Symptom no.2
Unacceptable infinite loop of terrible Wi-Fi experience.
Trying Troubleshooting:
DNS resolution is ok (dig, traceroute is working)
PING is ok (can reach out to Internet host/IP)
Wi-Fi setting is ok (WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode)
Results:
I still don’t know what happened to the Wi-Fi issue so far…
Hope it’s just software issues not the hardware ones

—>When this happens,is the ping ok between iphone and Router?
I think so, since I can ping to outside host.
The issue is data(contents) stuck there and you can’t do anything to get it loaded unless reconnect the Wi-Fi.
(ex: I search Google for something then after typing the keyword and press enter, boom…nothing happened… or load a little contents …or just blank screen…)
This time I don’t keep my previous settings and do a reset installation.
configure PPPoE, Wi-Fi SSIDs, Install Luci, set NTP sync, enable IPv6, manually DNS setting(fiddle around CloudFlare, NextDNS, ISP DNS, DNSCryptProxy to Cisco)
surfing website on my laptop with Wi-Fi 5G connect to Flint
Web page loading stuck, or even not loading at all
5 when #4 happens I can still PING to Flint and outside host, DIG utility DNS resolution checking(both are working fine)
Wonder if something like MTU goes wrong, just check my laptop MTU and it’s normally configured.
Please help and I don’t know what else can be go wrong like this.
Maybe other Flint users can shed some light on this.
@cafebug hi can you try use some VPN provider? Try use tor browser or tor. May be this is IPS blocking some resources? This problem on all the sites? This problem only if you use wifi? Try test sites use lan cable. Try to copy big data from wifi (then from lan cable) to some share folder in your local network and look at the progress and errors.
