Worth the money (excellent tech support)

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 router. (More about this later).I have several smart devices such as a Google Nest, a Bose smart speaker, Samsung TV and a Fire stick. Neither of these likes to go through the VPN. On my Fire stick I noticed that Amazon Prime will not work. Disney works, Netflix works. To get everything on the Fire stick to work, I set up VPN rules now. I made the router route all selected MAC addresses through the VPN so all my other devices bypass the VPN. Oh, once you set up the VPN rules it helped to reboot the router.It took me some time to figure this out so I wanted to pass this on to those that might have a similar situation at their home. I've set up the router for remote access and I use the app. Both work very well. Note, you can't control the VPN settings remotely. If you're connected to the router, the app does it all. On the web based remote access, it has a living map but I haven't figured that out so it doesn't display my location on the map.Summary: the repeater works very well. The drops and pick ups I was experiencing were, from what I could tell, from the VPN server. I'll make an update later now that I'm using my current configuration of having all my smart devices bypass the VPN.Update: 4/2024I had a big speed drop. I'm no longer using the VPN, just the built in Adguard, which works really well! I've kept up with the firmware updates and apparently the previous update really messed up my speeds. I was originally getting about 95/95 and my speeds were down to like 5/15.I contacted tech support who made every attempt to resolve my issue. My unit, being out of warranty was no longer exchangeable. The company offered me a discount on the Flint 2, which appears to be a great upgrade. I ordered it!Upon login in to my router to copy some settings, it immediately notified me of an available firmware upgrade, which I did. I decided to check the speeds again. And wouldn't you know it, my router, in the repeater mode I use it in, was back to normal. My hotspot speeds are 100/100 connected directly. Through the Flint, they are about 97/98! I'm so glad to have it working again. I thought the hardware had failed but it just didn't like the previous firmware. The new firmware fixed everything!This is a great router and a great company that is overlooked. I highly recommend them and their products. As you can see, I had purchased the Flint 2 thinking my router had an internal failure. I trust their products enough to go with them again!I wish to add, the UI they provide, is awesome and so easy to use with helpful tips. I do wish to convey my experience with their product and help anyone whose looking for a great product with Repeater, Router, and other modes, or needing to connect to a hotspot like myself.

Excellent, stable router with good coverage.

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 routers I have managed, I was happy to see that this router is running on OpenWRT and provides access to a sophisticated level of configuration options and plugins if you need them. All of my interactions with this router were smooth and easy, it never froze up or behaved erratically during configuration. This is a great option for people looking for a stable, performant router with excellent coverage.

Fully Featured Router at a great price

I really like this router. It was a breeze to setup and the OpenWRT firmware plus included applications are awesome. It automatically grabbed my IP passthrough from my ISP's modem. It also has build in AdGuard which runs custom DNS to block ads.

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 accessing the "under the hood" LUCI gui through the "advanced settings" link.The body seems to be made simpler, cheaper. Basic construction, antennas only pivot on a single axis, no swivel. I like to think no expense was wasted on aesthetics with this unit. It's backed by a POWERFUL hardware platform for its price class, equivalent to some of the mainstream brands you'd have to spend 250+ to get. 4 core ARM processor with almost half a gig of RAM, CPU SKU is suspiciously similar to RPi 3B+ (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually what this was under the plastic), so it seems to be open source hardware as well.It makes all the advanced stuff a tech enthusiast would want to do, SO easy. Hosting servers, simple. It gives you a free DDNS URL you can CNAME your domains to. You can enable adguard, VPN, TOR with the click of a button. No need to mess around building a PIHole or other similar device. Absolutely brilliant.Anyways, if you're looking for the best union of horsepower, affordability, FOSS and configurability - this is your best product on the market currently.
