You evidently haven’t got the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. Have you used Merlin’s VPN director for example? Have you tried using AMTM and all the brilliant scripts out there? Go and educate yourself before dishing out useless advice to others. Oh and BTW, I have both the Flint and the Flint2 as well but my go to router is still my trusted GT-AX6000.

Any summary statements on how GLi is as a company supporting their products and tech support? Is tech support only via this forum?
Mostly support via forum and email (support@glinet.biz) - forum might be faster
Yeah stuff you will never actually need lmao. Enjoy your $350 router kid. The $130 Flint 2 runs Cake at 2 Gbps… what does your GT-AX6000 running Merlin do? That’s right 450 Mbps. 
Legit would have to have mental problems to buy Asus.
Yes, cake is superb when your PPPoE is broken and your port speeds are faulty. Oh, and you are so clever that you can even know what others use or not. See if your little toy can touch this stuff (which I will happily pay x4 times or more for the privilage or having such a brilliant piece of kit). You are just a bitter jealous child that cannot afford the real thing.

Here is a quote from a post that you had made earlier:
Enjoy your $130 toy…
Can we at least try to be civil?

So if you are happy with that device, which is fine, why do you stay in an GL.iNet forum then?

Changed my post because it was: offensive
Even you didn’t as me I’m gonna answer: I’m staying in this forum for exactly these posts of potential new customers looking into gl.inet devices. To tell them then the truth about its practices and how they treat their customers with the 4.5.7 flint 2 firmware.

I will refer you to the original poster’s question here, if I may. I have also invested quite a bit in GL.iNet devices to be eventually disappointed by their multiple issues and feel the right to warn others about their shortcomings as potential mission-critical devices.

ASUSWRT has been great for me since I bought my RT-AC68U 8 years ago, but it has not always been perfect, like any firmware I suppose. This unit just now went EoL, which is amazing for consumer-grade net gear, I think. The stock firmware has some very nice functionality (that I do use) that GLi doesn’t have (though I think I can work around it with custom firewall rules). The GLi firmware has some things that I wish ASUS had, but nothing I have to have, of course.
I’m not paying $350 for a router anyhowz 
unless it has some super credentials.
I was told GLi was more on the professional-grade side, and that was very appealing to me, but what I’m seeing with this great-sounding new unit (and a compromise in firmware features) is a letdown. (I was warned by one person I’d be a beta tester for this unit, but I didn’t want to believe it and I wanted to give GLi time to settle initial issues).
I really appreciate everyone’s inputs.

I’m much happier now that the stable build for Open-WRT for the MT-6000 has been released. Continuing to tweak…Everything working great…

How was the setup process? Is it just as easy as the stock GL.iNet firmware?
Hi everyone, you can just post problems, questions, etc. and this is the aim of this forum.
If you just want to say bad things about us and asking people to avoid our product and recommend other products, I will just delete the post.

Since OpenWrt does not offer some “Welcome, let’s setup your device”-process it’s not that easy but depends on your needs. If you have experience with routing itself, it’s not a big deal - but not comfortable anyway.

Just FYI:
We post here problems with the mt6000 flint 2
- kernel downgrade to an old version
- limiting the 2.5gbit LAN Port to 1gbit
- etc.
maybe you take the angry input regarding GL.iNet recent decision internally and discuss if you have done anything wrong.
you current path with loose you massively customers.

I’ve run Open-WRT before but on already built images…This was the first time I built it myself from scratch. I had actually started the previous day using a Snapshot but canned that when I saw they
had released a stable version. Since it was the first time it took me about seven hours in total but that’s because I had to do a lot of hunting and searching on the web to see where and how stuff was done…Now that I’ve done it I could probably do it in half that time setting up VPNs (Wireguard and OPVN), Policy Based Routing, Reserved IPs, Customizations, Tweaking. For me I’m actually glad the firmware debacle happened. Now I’m on OpenWRT and know how to get it up and running I don’t think I’ll be going back to GL.iNet’s version although it does have some nice stuff that I haven’t figured out how to do in OpenWRT (Like turning OFF/ON LEDs at specific times but I do have the CRON rebooting my router daily). But I agree if you don’t have much in the way of networking knowledge it’s better to stay with the stock firmware.
How do you expect to be able to improve things if you do not take criticism about your products?
You have just taken down the latest “STABLE” firmware version from your website which can only suggest that it has been riddled with problems and not fit for purpose. You really do need to a get a grip…

How do you know I don’t take criticism?
You can criticize as most of the people did. The aim of the forum is for discussing problems.
But you cannot just asking people not to buy our product or even advertise other brand in this forum.

Hmmm, so I should be asking people and advocate that they should buy a broken device instead? Makes sense!
