GL.iNet GL-AX1800(Flint) WiFi 6 Router -Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | 5 x 1G Ethernet Ports | Up to 120 Devices | OpenVpn&WireGuard

My apartment complex provides fiber internet as a hotshot throughout with a captive portal. I was able to log in, join the service and the router remained logged in the whole time. From time to time it will get kicked off but it will choose the alternate connection I've set it up for.The connections are fast. I've connected to my VPN using wireguard and am using the ad guard as well. Surfing is smooth on either my 5 or 2.4 WAN. My speed, which is relegated to the VPN, works very well. The stability of the router is very good thus far. I experienced some lock ups which required me to unplug the

I currently have three WiFi routers at my house.1) combo DSL modem/router provided by AT&T, my internet service provider. I have turned off wifi capabilities on this device and use this purely as a DSL modem.2) TP-Link Archer AX11000 WiFi 6 router for all internet access except for streaming services (through VPN). An excellent router but lacks VPN client support.3) GL.iNet GL-AX1800 (Flint) WiFi6 for streaming services through VPN (mostly to access content that is blocked in my geographical location). Also, rumor has it there is at least one device in my house running few not-so-trustworthy a

I was trying to install wireless in my house because signal is so bad where I live, my phone won't even work in my bedroom. I wanted something that would work with OpenWRT, and this unit was specially listed. Long story, shorted, I was doing the firmware upgrade and not saving data. Don't turn it off they say. I didn't. A lightning strike killed my power and it was all over. I tried to bring the unit up. Nope. Dead as a door-nail. I opened a case with them late on Saturday and received the token We got your message. I thought, yeah right, typical.Well, what wasn't typical is they replied back

I'm very impressed with this router. I replaced an older Linksys E2500 which was admittedly many years out of date. This router improved coverage in the house significantly. I tested it in all corners of a two story house and got excellent throughput and a stable connection. Perhaps more importantly, the router user interface is excellent, easy to use and responsive. I was able to upgrade the firmware with a couple of clicks after booting it up, and especially happy to find AdGuard simple to activate with a single click because I got this router for my parents. As a DD-WRT user on other router

i bought this router in November 2023 and until yesterday (April 2025) have been very happy with it. Now I am PISSED OFF because an update from GL.iNet completely hosed up the system and cost me much time and money.I have been an operating system engineer for most of my 40 year career. This router's firmware is based on OpenWRT, which is an extremely well vetted and widely used open-source operating system for routers. I bought the router precisely because of the OpenWRT firmware and customized the configuration for use in my consulting practice.Until yesterday, software updates were painless

I really like this because of the great WebUI which overalys OpwenWRT, and Layer 1 to 3 routing and Layer 3&4 firewall. However, there are known bugs specifically with Gl.inet's implementation. Specifically support for legacy 802.11 g/b/n devices. My printer wifi (802.11b/g/n ) doesn't work with it. A couple of IoT devices will connect and drop. This is a long known issues predating and continuing the latest 11/2024 firmware.DHCP issues exist and full custom routing available on the full Openwrt can't be done with Gl.Inet's implementation. For example, presenting a Wifi-LAN that uses LAN --> W

As a high IT professional and avid open source software enthusiast, I cannot express how in love with this product I am. It gives you the best of all worlds.For home users: It's very affordable, It's easy to install, reliable, fast.For fellow techies: Comes with the latest AX speeds, and OpenWRT and LUCI pre-installed "underneath" their own proprietary web gui.Their webgui really helps fill some of the user-friendliness gaps in the underlying management system, such as vpn and ddns configuration. But for whatever their gui doesn't cover, there's nothing you can't do with this router by accessi

First of, this isn't a paid or sponsored review. I first started using one of their travel routers years and years ago. I bought this router, because I knew the brand, it seemed to get great reviews, and I wanted to try out wireguard. So... installation and setup: Beyond easy. They have an apple and google app, or you can just go to the default gateway (192.168.8.1) and do the setup. I also have to say KUDOS for using the 192.168.8/24 network. I loathe all those companies that use 192.168.1/24.So wireguard setup was a snap. Generated my wireguard config, cut and pasted it into the wizard for t
