Hi,
I have a GL-MT3000 which is connected to WAN via ethernet cable. The WAN has working internet.
My laptop is connect to GL-MT3000 via wifi and I can browse the internet without any issues. The problem is that GL-MT3000 thinks that there’s no internet available even though the internet is working fine, even the VPN client on GL-MT3000 can perfectly connect to the server.
In GL-MT3000’s “Internet > Ethernet” page there’s a message saying “The interface is connected, but the Internet can’t be accessed.” and GL-MT3000’s front light is blinking indicating that there’s no internet available, even though there IS internet.
This is a known issue and is there a fix coming?

I also see same issue, even in 4.2.0

A temporary fix (and something I always do by default anyway) is to just disable Internet Status Tracking. You can do this in GL.iNet panel > Network > Multi-WAN.
After this Internet will always be available when the interface is connected, so when it’s receiving a signal, it will be marked as online, instead of trying to ping whatever configuration was set in the tracking config.

Same issue. Internet working but the message appears a lot (although disappears from time to time). Latest firmware v4.2.3
I'm having the same problem on my new Flint 2 router, except when the LED starts flashing and the message “The interface is connected, but the Internet can’t be accessed.” is thrown, no clients can access the Internet. My entire house goes offline.
This is unacceptable performance for a new router with a nearly plain vanilla configuration.
I am going to try your suggestion of disabling Internet Status Tracking on Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, Repeater and Tethering. If it works, I owe you a drink. This is easily one of the most frustrating devices I've used in the past 30 years. None of the bells-and-whistles of the ASUS or Netgear consumer grade equipment, but all the same problems.
