GL-MT6000 (Flint 2)

Just bought the router and hope it solves my bufferbloat issues I’m using moca for my but still have issues with bufferbloat so I’m holding the router u mention can help out

Not sure on your budget as that is country based. (Like is it euros, USD, CAD, etc) I recommend the flint 2 - openWRT supports it (vanilla openWRT) - has two 2.5 ports - has 4 gigbit ports - vanilla openWRT support gigbit speeds and should support 2.5 gigbit speeds (more documentation on their page) - has good wifi range. Also it is wifi 6? - has more than enough processing power - 1 GB of RAM - 8 GB of storage (even though I ship logs to my server for log retention) Hope that helps

Flint 2 is a bit over that, but it's a beast. Don't fall for gaming router crap.

Gli net flint 2 running openwrt is all you need, as good as if not better than most gaming routers, isp routers are not set up for low bufferbloat, ignore the advice that you isp router is ok

https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/ Great router, better than most ‘gaming’ routers out there

Not for good, look at Gl.inet if you want the most amazing and opensource routers, Flint 2, 3 and it's travel routers as slate 7, (look at them in YouTube) are at own level, better than Synology at each parameters, with extreme software capabilities, and easy to manage but not less powerful neither locked in anyway (os is an skin on too openwrt but also compatible with official openwrt releases), if you need sdwan, vpn-whatever (even tor), bland, multiple segregated networks etc is ts they right stuff, I'm very impressed (I come from Mikrotik).

Just get a Flint 2 and call it a day, also the I had deco m5 around my home due to bad signal from the ISP router but since getting the Flint I've now got rid as it covers all the house

Flint 2 and call it a day....

It's definitely worth the extra money, it's a beast of a router and runs vanilla OpenWrt if needs be!

GL.Inet Flint 2 is a decent option. It has full OpenWRT support and, with the exception of wifi, is faster than the Flint 3 and is more stable from what I read. Downside is it only has 1 LAN 2.5gb port so you would need a switch if you have more devices than just the NAS with 2.5gb NIC. Or go the full blown route and setup a pfSense/OpenSense router with an WiFi 7 AP connected to it.

If I remember right from what I read, Flint 2 has a faster processor. Maybe other things.

I just picked up the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) I'm really happy with it so far.

Another glinet flint fan.

Seconding flint 2 as well. It would have been my go to if I had to just buy a consumer grade router. But I have opnsense on a dedicated box so it was overkill for me and I got a Cudy WR3000H and put openwrt on it and turned into alll in one managed switch with VLAN aware SSIDS

Flint 2 is the best openwrt router rn imho
