OP25.12 has gone final.

Are you able to start working on integrating this into your builds please? I was hoping to use 24.10.5 but this hasn’t been released yet for Flint 2.

azleatherneck. When I bought the Flint 2, I didn’t expect them to roll back to a 2021 build where important apps like BanIP don’t support that version anymore. I’ve been waiting over a year for a stable build to be released that is above the initial OP version when it was released.

I’ve been seriously tempted to go vanilla, but the control of the parental control and android app keep me going along.

It’s an expectation that the hardware will be supported and updated for a few years….

I agree. At the moment, the MT6000 is one of the most powerful router in the GL.iNet lineup, and I doubt it will reach end-of-life anytime soon.

You’re joking right?

I have to agree, I feel the Flint 2 is better than the Flint 3

Just to clarify, there are no plans to discontinue the Flint 2 anytime soon.

It may have simply been a misunderstanding or misinterpretation somewhere, so there’s no need to worry. :slightly_smiling_face:

I would hope they wouldn’t base another build off an unstable version, I'm currently running 25.12 on my flint 2 and it’s experiencing some system errors as well as increased latency and jitter. Ipv6 works better than any version before however.

Let me get it right, so you saying he’s lying? :thinking:

Nope, I’m saying a second firmware based on open source for a product that is 2 cycles behind isn’t a priority. I’m surprised that hey have supported it this long lol

Why not when the industry is moving towards 5-7 years of updates for other devices?

Hi everyone, I think we can stop discussing the Flint 2 EOL topic and move on to something more interesting. For example, those of you using vanilla OpenWrt could share what’s new in version 25.12 and any improvements in the overall experience.

For instance, I noticed that DNS and DHCP are now configured in separate sections in LuCI, and there’s also the new APK package manager—how has your experience with it been?

It works fine overall, no major hiccup.
