Overview
The GL.iNet GL-MT6000 Flint 2 is a Wi-Fi 6 router with dual-band (2.4 + 5 GHz) support, 6 Ethernet ports with speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, and a USB port. It is built as an OpenWrt router aimed at fast VPN use.
Who it suits
This router is suited to users who want a dedicated OpenWrt device for running VPN connections at higher throughput. It also suits those who need multiple wired Ethernet ports, including 2.5 Gbps capable ones, for a home or small office network.
Reasons to consider it
The 6 Ethernet ports and 2.5 Gbps max wired speed support multiple wired devices without extra switches. Wi-Fi 6 dual-band support covers standard wireless needs, and the listed intended use points to OpenWrt flexibility and VPN performance as core strengths.
Limitations and compatibility checks
There is no 6 GHz band support, so this is not a tri-band or Wi-Fi 6E/7 device. Wired backhaul and PoE are not supported, and ecosystem, supported modes, and power details are not specified, so mesh or AP-mode compatibility should be checked before purchase.
