5.0 out of 5 stars Superb router, and features. Highly recommend.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
I've used their products before. I decided to upgrade my Flint to this Flint2. The speeds are fantastic. The throughput through wireless is very fast. I shared files between my PC and laptop and I was impressed.

I use the router in Repeater mode. I works very well. The repeater upload and download speeds are just slightly below what I get when I connect directly to my complex's Hotspot. Basically, very little loss if any!

The UI for the router settings are easy to understand and well laid out. Another great feature they provide is their GoodCloud remote connection. Now with two routers, I can manage both routers directly through the GoodCloud service, which is a secure connection to your router. I really enjoy this, compared to the old days when I had to create an SSH tunnel to securely connect to my router. You can even turn on/off your WiFi services completely and still manage your router through GoodCloud since it still maintains a connection to the Hotspot or if you have it connected to your modem through your WAN. Another function is the built-in whole house Adguard or VPN setup you can have. Easily manageable and accessible. There's a plethora of settings and option you can manage. If you're used to the DDWRT UI, you'll find this a bit different but for me, it works well. I have no complaints.

All in all, I found this upgrade worth it. The additional memory is welcomed. I'm not running at 36% memory use opposed to 65% on my Flint1. A lot of power and resources remain available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best router - improved my local streaming
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2024
I originally bought this just to stream video games over my local network. The idea was to be able to play any of my Steam games on an ultra powerful PC in any room of the house. I started with powerline adapters, these things you plug into wall power outlets, and then created a sort of wired connection over your electricity wiring, which seemed to improve latency. I was surprised the dream was coming true when I used it but I wanted to optimize it so that it really felt reliable and snappy.

I already had a relatively all-in-one modem-router-WiFi from Netgear AC1900, and never had a major problem with it. But as I started reading about how to improve the streaming, I found out about buffer bloat, and ways in which router software can manage their packets/data coming in/out. Which led me to OpenWRT software, which I couldn’t install on an all-in-one which led me to the Flint 1 and then the Flint 2 because it was more powerful for not much more cost. I still use the Netgear as a modem with the router off.

This thing exceeded my expectations. First of all the software is a joy to use. I was so surprised how quickly you can navigate the interface and load pages, because I swear the Netgear felt like it took 10+ seconds to register clicks. Installing was easy. Installing an SQM plugin to manage buffer bloat and changing some settings like DNS and NAT was certainly not simple intellectually, but making the clicks on the UI absolutely was. People have complained about how up to date OpenWRT is, but it came with an update right away, and for the average user, I think LTS updates is more important than up to the minute updates.

So my streaming setup is pretty amazing now. 1440p streaming with a moderately old gaming PC is working. Powerlines do seem to fluctuate based on time of day, but to my surprise WiFi 6 and the performance of the router actually make streaming over WiFi possible in some cases. Like if the host or client utilizes the whole powerline network and another utilizes WiFi 6 from not that far away, it’s totally basically as good. Streaming from my Meta Quest 3 to the TV is flawless, it even kind of worked when I streamed to chrome on Mac to airplay on the TV via like 4 wireless jump, I mean it was choppy but the fact that it just worked and disconnected was great. I bet this will also reduce the need for wired connections when streaming Steam or a virtual desktop to the desktop.

Finally in my opinion this is the only router anyone should buy unless you’re a raspberry pi enthusiast, or you can find another router with something like OpenWRT preinstalled. I would’ve flashed firmware, but the fact that I got it ready to go on a consumer product is magical. Why every router doesn’t come with OpenWRT or an equivalent, is crazy. The software seems so far advanced than the crap in routers I’ve had from big companies in the past. The performance seems amazing. Has the latest features. Doesn’t break the bank. Easy to setup. Overall, prefect score from me, I can’t think of a con.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you care about ease of use/lag/ping/latency/online gaming?
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
Then this is the router for you. ISP's here in the US should all be in prison basically for their abhorrent business practices and decades of lying. But also for their gross negligence and basically false advertising.

Any of these ISP's advertising anything remotely close to acceptable "low latency gaming", or whatever, basically can be wholesale dismissed, because every single one of them ignores the term BufferBloat. They do realize it now exists, but because of outdated academic consensus on how packets ought be handled - they'll never do anything about it. So it's up to companies like this and others to implement a fix for us consumers. This problem will not be solved with thinking using an Ethernet connection (I use an Ethernet connection, and it makes things better sure, but so would standing right next to the WiFi in the middle of nowhere with zero interference). I've provided two images on what it looks like when you have SQM running on this router (officially not supported by their own UI, but is irrelevant since it's brain-dead easy to setup from within their web-based GUI anyway). I use Spectrum (they'll give you all the download in the world, but you're never going to get upload with these guys, FIOS and Google Fiber - if you have those options never look back to any provider not offering symmetrical data plans where upload and download speeds are equal. The rest of the First World has largely solved this industry problem, but not in monopolistic America we sure haven't).

This router also isn't large at all, and is an upgrade in terms of wireless signal stability, compared to my last router (Synology, no SQM support, what a ridiculous company this has become..)

My upload speeds are poor but there's nothing you can really do about this on this ISP, what you need to be looking at is the incredible tightening of latency possible with this router. This shows that even if your network is getting hammered with other people doing stuff on it, your connection isn't going to be lag riddled when you try things like playing games, or video conferencing.

Absolutely love this thing for my simple use cases. Company is active on their forums. The features and ease of setup for things like VPN's is a breeze. And updates seem to be coming regularly making this thing better since release. And the hardware is really top notch (far better than anything remotely at this price).
