I've been using the Flint 2 as my main router for months, and so far, I'm very happy with it.

Everything works fine, including the Wi-Fi. So far, no disconnecting problems or other related Wi-Fi issues (but other people seem to had problems with this).

The wireless speed is actually amazing. I get almost 1Gb download and upload from my PC while on a wireless connection (I have a symmetric 1Gb ISP connection) in my office, about 10 meters away.

My previous 200€ ASUS router could not do that.

It is true that you only have 4 SSIDs if you are only using the GL.iNet GUI, but many features are available in LuCI.

There is how you can do it while using SSH (a response from a GL.iNet Staff):
