    • denserham on 18/06/2025 - 09:41
      +3

      I got the 2 because openwrt support is a lot better, 3 has a new chipset support might be flaky depends on what developers can do.

      Ideally I would personally prefer openwrt to a closed source Chinese firmware on my router, but the gl.inet firmware is very nice, robust and user friendly so it's upto you.

        yeah from day 1 when i got it.

        I also have a scheduled reboot at 3am 3x a week to "flush" things

        4.7.7 is the latest

        • ginger-gin on 18/06/2025 - 12:30

          Just out of curiosity, why need 3x reboot/week. This is not the good way for a router supposed to be running consistently as whenever rebooting, it needs to establish the connection with isp again and again

          • daft009 on 18/06/2025 - 17:24

            @ginger-gin: To try and solve these issues I put it in

              Internet connection seems to disconnect after a while when I log in to the router interface to inspect the settings.
              "The interface is connected, but the Internet can't be accessed"
              Also latest firmware 4.7.7

    • ThriftyBargainHunter on 20/06/2025 - 12:16

      I've had my Flint 2 for ~6-weeks. Rock solid performance, not had to reboot it once.

      As a stability test, I also didn't enable the Scheduled reboot and still have no issues (the router reboot disconnects the VPN on my work laptop).

      I had to schedule a daily reboot on my old TPG router and I still had reliability issues.

      I'm very happy with this router and my Wi-Fi signal strength upstairs is full strength, TPG router low strength.

      I also love the built-in AdBlock to filter out all the ads across all devices.

    • thosemonkeys on 21/06/2025 - 08:08

      I also just got one from Amazon, and dropped maybe 4 times in a 4 days. I have fixed wireless from Aussie and the device may take a few mins to get a connection from aussie or 20 mins.

      It seems like a good router but I am thinking this may be a deal breaker. I am coming from a asus with merlin on it and it was rock solid. The Flint not so much at this stage

      I'd get the Flint 2 and spend the money you saved on hookers and cocaine.

    • justtoreply on 18/06/2025 - 09:21

      Also been hearing the 86u pro regularly requires reboot for 2.4ghz issues, if peeps can discuss their experience on that

    • Smashwa on 18/06/2025 - 09:23

      I have the Flint 2 and it was very easy. If you aren't going to use the additional features then are generally disabled by default. All I had to do was plug in my internet connection, then kick my connection with NBN to get it to reconnect on the new router.

    • Spendmore on 18/06/2025 - 09:45

    • RedHab on 18/06/2025 - 10:33

      I've had that Asus for 3 years now. It's a great router, especially with Merlin.

      However, the Flint has better specs, I'd probably get it instead if I were in the market now.

    • 367 on 18/06/2025 - 11:43

      This. I had both, IMO there's no advantage to the ASUS unless you will use the proprietary mesh features.

    • Kustard King on 18/06/2025 - 13:53

      Had both and returned the Asus to Amazon. Both are good - the Asus has a more fancy GUI.

      The the flint 2 has longer range even on 5ghz - I can walk out to road at the front of my house through multiple walls, and is just quicker. It’s been rock solid thankfully. I couldn’t justify paying $100 more for no benefit.

        I have the same question as it's been so confusing since NBN landed. Telco's use the word modem and router interchangeably.

        Is nbn black box = modem?

        Can I therefore buy a flint 2 and plug it straight to the nbn black box if I'm switching to another provider like superloop?

        Currently with optus that has provided their own modem/router. Dunno what you call it.

          Put your address in here: https://www.nbnco.com.au/ and tell us the results.
          This will allow people to establish if you need a modem or not.

            @Limbot: nbn black box is HFC.

        • Twix on 20/06/2025 - 14:04
          +1

          nbn HFC NTD box is a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. Plug in the Flint 2 router to the nbn HFC NTD box. Flint 2 can be setup with any provider.

          Optus provide a VDSL2 modem and router all-in-one for the many different nbn tech types.

          Note that the nbn boxes are different depending on the nbn tech type.

          HFC = nbn NTD box + Optus router (Optus VDSL2 modem is not in use).
          HFC = nbn NTD box + GL.iNet Flint 2 router.

          FTTP or Fixed Wireless = nbn NTD box + GL.iNet Flint 2 router.
          FTTC = nbn NCD box + GL.iNet Flint 2 router.
          FTTN or FTTB = VDSL2 modem + GL.iNet Flint 2 router.

            @Twix: I just bought this router and have no idea to upgrade from my old TPG Archer VR1600v. Did you just plug this into the NBN box or do you need to do something else? I get to the change password page http://192.168.8.1/ after connecting to the NBN box, but then nothing. Any tips?

            • Twix on 17/07/2025 - 10:23

              @ghoulie1: You have to configure it to your ISP. Are you with TPG?

              Do you have nbn FTTP, HFC, FTTC?

              • ghoulie1 on 17/07/2025 - 10:24

                @Twix: TPG HFC. I have just realised that this is a router only so I should connect into the old modem in bridge mode??

                • Twix on 17/07/2025 - 10:30

                      @ghoulie1: That makes it easier. nbn HFC NTD box is a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. nbn NTD box + GL.iNet Flint 2 router is all you need. Let me know if this works.

                      1. Remove the TP-Link Archer.
                      2. Wait 30 minutes.
                      3. Plugin your ethernet cable from the Flint 2 WAN to the nbn NTD box.
                      4. Login to the Flint 2 at 192.168.8.1
                      5. Set the WAN to PPPoE.
                      6. Type in ghoulie1@tpg.com.au or whatever your username is and password from TPG.

                          @ghoulie1: TP-Link Archer + GL.iNet Flint 2 is a double NAT and can sometimes cause problems.

                          Do the same steps I mentioned and add a VLAN ID of 2.

                          Go to More Settings, Advanced to install the LuCI interface if it's not already installed.
                          Access LuCI via 192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci.

                          Navigate to Network, Interfaces.
                          Edit the existing WAN interface (usually named "WAN").
                          Protocol: Select PPPoE.
                          Credentials: Enter your username and password provided by TPG.
                          Physical Settings: Choose "Custom Interface".
                          Interface: Type in eth0.2 for TPG.
                          Save & Apply.
                          Reboot the router if the connection doesn't establish immediately.

                          Dump TPG if the LuCI details went over your head. Swap to a provider that uses DHCP (Leaptel, Superloop and Buddy Telco to name a few). This way it is much easier to setup and plugin the Flint 2 to the nbn NTD box.

                              @ghoulie1: All good. Follow these steps if you swap to Leaptel, Superloop or Buddy Telco.

                              1. Remove the TP-Link Archer.
                              2. Wait 30 minutes.
                              3. Factory reset the Flint 2.
                              4. Plugin your ethernet cable from the Flint 2 WAN to the nbn NTD box.
                              5. Login to the Flint 2 at 192.168.8.1
                              6. Set the WAN interface to DHCP.

                              You don't change any Flint settings if you change between these providers.

    Would getting the Flint2 in there as the main connection to my NBN modem increase the performance/efficiency of my set up?

    Thanks

      NBN modem (HFC)
      ↓
      Flint 2 (acts as router)
      ↓
      Deco M5 in Access Point (AP) mode
      ↓
      Other Deco M5 units (mesh nodes)

      Keep in mind your Deco m5 units are still Wi-Fi 5, so wireless speeds won’t magically improve unless devices connect to Flint 2’s Wi-Fi directly. And Only supports up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz, which may bottleneck higher speed NBN plans (especially if you're on 100/20, 250/25 etc.)

      You're okay with keeping Deco M5 as Wi-Fi mesh.
      - If your budget allows, consider gradually upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes down the track (like Deco X50 or X60).

    Thanks OP.

    Received this today. They included an odd PowerPoint adaptor where you have to install the prongs yourself. The adaptor turned out to be faulty, so I couldn’t get it to work. Sending it back tomorrow.
