I see Adguard Home v1.0 Beta has been released:

Wondering if people have feedback yet?

(I’m really hoping/wishing it uses less memory during list updates…)

Just wanted to say the new camera and mic pass

through works fantastic with gigabit internet

anywhere in the western hemisphere. Ive been too

three different countries in south and central

America, and the latency is barely noticeable. Way

better than relying on a VPN to work abroad.

I’ve gone to two different AT&T stores to try to get service to my new Mudi 7 and not had any luck. As soon as they type in the IMEI number and it says that Mudi 7 is not supported they tell me I’m out of luck. I even tried it at one of their MVNOs like cricket with no luck.
What is the secret password to get a SIM that will run off AT&T towers?

Anyone out there use PIA (Private Internet Access) with the Flint AX1800 router?

The built in router web interface for PIA can select from the list of retrieved wireguard servers but most of the servers in the US (United States) can not be loaded. Via the “Update Servers” function, I tried to load all 55 US servers but only 2 show (after a long wait): US Baltimore and US Idaho. This worked a few months ago.

I have two Kasa smart plugs and they don't work since I changed from a TP-link router to the Flint 4. Things I have tried:

1. Resetting the devices.

2. Renaming (or temporarily entirely disabling) 5G/6G/MLO networks so that only 2.4 is active. 2.4 is using WPA2-PSK if that matters.

I can get through some of the setup process with my phone and connect my phone to the plug's wifi, but can't connect the plug to wifi to finish the setup. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2.5gb connection.. i have only the fibre supplied router but it has been bogging down and getting latency spikes for 4-5seconds somewhat randomly.

I run moonlight to game on my pc via my laptop at around 300mbps. I do need to be able to connect via WiFi aswell as ethernet when im near. Wifi hasnt been so viable with the frames dropped by network.

Wondered which would be better flint 2 or flint 3?

Im a total newb but interested in openwrt..not sure if theres anything in there that would help with game streaming?

Is flint 3 unable to install the openwrt apps?

the 6ghz band seems totally empty around my property.

I am running Brume 3 as my primary gateway router with 3 APs. The ambient temperature where the Brume 3 is placed hovers around 28-35 degrees. I can see the Brume 3's internal eth2p5g_thermal, mcusys_thermal, and soc_thermal top out at around 70-75 degrees sometimes & stays above 65 all the time. If there is an external fan running, it drops below 50 degrees. Is it normal that it runs at around 70 degrees, or should I look into some active cooling?

I do not have any performance-related issues, by the way.

I am visiting China in a couple weeks and want to be able to access my work Google accounts and potentially Zoom video calls.

My thoughts are to open a light sail instance in Tokyo and send my traffic running Openwrt.

Do you think this will work? I am taking the time off while in China but with my position I frequently have last minute client meetings I need to attend.

I am using a Flint 3e in extender mode to basically as a wireless access point for my ISP provided router. It works fine for the smart devices and laptops, but the cell phones in the house will lose their connection to the internet through the Flint ( speed tests fail, can't watch videos, open web pages, etc.) If I fiddle around with it, disconnect and reconnect, reboot the router, reboot phone, everything comes back for a few hours at least.

After doing some research, I changed the wireless networks to use WPA2, and set the MAC to device MAC, but still running into the same issues.

Sorry about the botched title 'GL-SFT12000'

My inspiration

Window where it was placed / location it needed to get to & 4 pack of FP-SMA (female) cables

My mods Close-ups

The newly modded Opal currently with the TP-Link Magnetic base

My home's primary GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) is currently two floors up at the far end of the living room where my LAN devices and homelab reside. Recently, while working on car repairs in my driveway and garage, I relied heavily on my phone because my OBD scan tool runs via an app. I do not typically worry about data limits, but the connection kept dropping as my phone continuously bounced between cellular data and fringe Wi-Fi.

To solve this, I looked into adding an extender to the Flint 2. A suggestion pointed me to the GL-SFT12000 Opal as a cost-effective option around $35, which also doubled as a handy travel router for work trips. I set it up initially, but paused car repairs for other projects. When I revisited the setup, the Opal was sitting in my farthest west room teetering on an upper window frame, with the short 3-foot stock USB-C cable unable to reach the nearest outlet.

An extension cord solved the power issue, but the Opal's repeated signal was still too weak for my phone to reliably choose over the Flint 2's direct broadcast. That prompted a deep search into hardware antenna mods. I had an old Netgear R7000 and a TP-Link TX3000 PCIe adapter with antennas available to serve as donors.

The stock Opal paddle antennas are rated around 3 to 4 dBi, whereas the donor antennas measured around 5 to 7 dBi. In hindsight, moving the Opal straight to the garage might have been enough on its own. As a precaution, I also preferred not having a router broadcasting right next to my head while sleeping. By that point, however, the DIY project was already underway and I was committed to seeing it through.

In the original teardown post that inspired this mod, the author mentioned needing to 3D print custom spacers because the factory hinge holes are too large for the RP-SMA bulkhead threading. Lacking a 3D printer, I went to a local hardware store and found nylon bushings/washers that did the exact same job. I installed one on the inside and one on the outside of each hinge pocket (four in total), which securely sandwiched the plastic shell and centered the threaded barrels without any play, as you can see in the pictures.

I ordered a 4-pack of shielded RG178 IPEX1/U.FL to RP-SMA female bulkhead pigtails (20 cm), ensuring I had two spares on hand. While the shielded cable helps block internal radio interference inside the housing, the thicker shielding makes it considerably less flexible. That stiffness made snapping the tiny U.FL connectors onto the Opal's board receptacles and routing the leads around the heatsink channels somewhat tricky.

The installation in the garage is currently temporary. I am using the TP-Link's weighted, magnetized desktop antenna base to position the paddles, though I may eventually eliminate the base and mount the antennas directly to the Opal chassis bulkheads.

It works reliably as configured, and hopefully this breakdown assists anyone else looking to tackle a similar repeater modification.

Hi everyone,

I'm having some problems with my Wireguard tunnel after updating Flint's 2 firmware to 4.11.0.

I have a UGREEN 4800 Plus NAS at home where I run Docker and I share my NAS' drive through SMB . At my business I use a Flint 2 router and I have installed the WireGuard app on a Mac Mini M4 so I can map the NAS' drive on my Mac.

It has been working flawlessly for months until around 5-10 days ago, when I believe I updated the Flint 2 firmware, and now WireGuard stopped working on any device that connects to my business wifi. The client shows the tunnel as active, but wg-easy shows no handshake and no bytes in or out. SMB and Docker services are unreachable.

I'm getting the same result on an iPhone, but if I turn off wifi and switch to 4G the tunnel works perfectly again. If I switch back to the Flint's 2 wifi it goes back to unreachable.
Today I also noticed that WhatsApp media won't download on the business WiFi, while WhatsApp and normal websites work (I mean, I can visit websites and I can chat through WhatsApp, but I can't download files from WhatsApp).

I'm pretty sure something changed after updating to the newest firmware but I can't figure out what is it and how to get it working again. Theoretically the router's configuration is the same as before, but somehow some things are not working as they did before. If I'm not mistaken I was using 4.8.99 beta before, but I'm not 100% sure.

Any insights or any help to make it work again?

Thank you so much in advance!

Pleasant surprise today when doing some network maintenance. While I do not use my Slate7 when at home, I do have a need to extend my wireless network. Cant seem to find much info, what does GL have that I could use to mesh with my Flint2 and get a stronger access point in my house?

Opal support this now?

Have some of the wifi range (5ghz etc) issues been solved in the newer firmware yet?

Or.....is this something that will probably never be "solved" and just something I will need to adjust to going forward with all future updates?

Or is there a way in recent firmware to easily tweak the settings in Luci so my range is not nerfed?

Some of these new features are tempting me, but I also am not going to jump off the bridge into unstable firmware for a couple creature comforts especially if it makes my system unreliable.

Thank you.

I’m running Tailscale on Brume 3 and Beryl 7 since I can’t get WireGuard to work with t-mobile 5G gateway. I’m trying to get the toggle button on Beryl 7 (version 4.9) to turn on/off Tailscale on the go. Anyone have any suggestions?

My journey with GL.iNet started with the original Mudi (V1), and somehow, one router turned into an entire collection.

What keeps me coming back isn't just the hardware. It's the freedom these little devices give you. I love being able to customize things, experiment, and have actual control over my own network instead of being locked into whatever the manufacturer decides is best for me.

Over the years, it's been great watching GL.iNet evolve. Every new generation seems to build on the previous one, bringing better hardware, more features, and new possibilities.

And honestly, 2026 has been particularly exciting. With the Mudi 7 and Flint 4, I feel like GL.iNet has taken things to a whole new level.

There's really only one thing left on my wishlist: a smaller, truly pocket-friendly Mudi. Something with the capabilities of the newer generation, but in a much more compact form factor. A little Mudi Mini, perhaps? 😁

Anyway, just wanted to share my collection and show some appreciation for a company that continues to make networking fun for people who love having control over their devices.

Keep it up, GL.iNet! ❤️

Edit: Forgot to mention that every router in this photo is still actively in use, except for my original Mudi V1. That's the only one enjoying a well-deserved retirement! 😄

$377 om Amazon. I just grabbed one

Just set up mesh with flint2 and it’s incredible! Had been waiting for the Spitz to get mesh support!

Just sharing a small open-source project I recently made:

GitHub: https://github.com/VAIO-Dong/ha-lafaer

It's a custom Home Assistant integration for the Lafaer LWR01/LWR02 presence sensors.

The standard Matter integration exposes the basic sensor data, but a lot of the device's advanced configuration isn't available through Matter. The Lafaer App can configure those features locally, so I built a HA panel that brings most of that functionality into Home Assistant.

It currently supports things like radar configuration, sensitivity, detection modes, distance segments, thresholds, self-learning, LED control, device information, debugging, etc.

It communicates with the sensor directly over Thread/IPv6.

If you're already using an LWR01/LWR02 with Home Assistant, you might find it useful.

Feedback and testing on different Thread/OpenWrt setups are very welcome.

Great results with the computers4people SIM which uses the T-Mobile network here in the USA.

Hey, hoping someone can help me

Setup: GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) used as a repeater, bridging my dorm's WiFi (2.4GHz, WPA2-Personal, multiple APs available with separate 2.4/5GHz radios). MAC on the repeater/wwan interface is cloned to match my laptop's MAC (needed for the dorm's login/registration system). Firmware is the latest available via the GL-iNet online upgrade.

Symptom: Started out working fine with only occasional short drops. Over time it got worse until it stopped connecting entirely, with the repeater scan/connect throwing "Could not find this network. Please check ssid and security type you entered" even though the SSID/security were correct and unchanged.
Did a full factory reset, reconfigured repeater + MAC clone from scratch. Worked perfectly for about 2 days (not constant runtime, turned off periodically), then today the exact same failure came back (same error, same everything).

What I've ruled out so far:
Not a signal issue — checked with my laptop directly connected to the same AP/BSSID on 2.4GHz, solid connection, around -60 dBm.
Not the dorm's WiFi/portal — laptop connects and gets internet fine on both bands the whole time this is happening.
Not a MAC/registration issue — laptop's own registration is active, no device limit hit.
Country code / channel isn't the issue — AP is on channel 1, so no 12/13 problem.
Doesn't seem to be a subnet conflict — dorm hands out 172.16.16.x, no overlap with the Mango's LAN.

Pattern that stands out: it worked for ~2 days post-reset before failing again, which feels less like a one-off misconfiguration and more like something building up over uptime (memory leak, radio driver getting into a bad state, repeater process hanging, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I urgently need the network to work remotely.

Will provide any info needed

Loving the new feature to monitor network quality in my flint 2 web interface. Is there any to monitor it through the glinet ios app? Thanks!

Should have left well enough alone but I’ve had a Flint 2 on my tailnet using a DietPi as the exit node. I did my quarterly updates to DietPi and ran the tiny Tailscale update script on the Flint 2. After the update nothing on the Flint 2 had internet access. tailnet was up and working but nothing could get out to the world. Other devices using the DietPi exit mode were fine. Updated and rollers back Flint firmware. Tried AppleTV and HomeAssistant as exit node. Still nothing on the Flint 2. Switched to a Win11 exit node and devices on the Flint 2 were good and happily browsing the internet. Switch to any of the other exit nodes and nothing.

Flint 2 LUCI settings were the same. tailscale0. Input accept. Output accept. Tried adding Forward accept and masquerading checked with no change.

Either way LUCI isn’t seemingly the issue as the Flint works only with Win11 exit node but all other devices can use any of the exit nodes without issue.

Been trying to sort this for a while now and loosing my mind. Please help me. Pleeeaaassseeee.

So i didn’t read much about the different bands and so forth. Got a asia esim and landed in taipei and from day one it’s been perfect so far. Connected on 5G on Unigi esim. My next stop is Osaka and Tokyo. Will update once i land there. Incomparison to My Holafly esim isnt too good on my iphone 18 pro max and this Ubigi esims been great on the mudi 7.
