Run multiple VPN connections simultaneously and apply different routing policies to all clients, specified connection types, specified devices, or all devices except those you exclude.
Multi-Profile Selection and Automatic Failover
Select multiple profiles within a tunnel, and traffic will automatically switch to the next available profile if the current one becomes unavailable, helping keep the connection stable and reliable.
Kill Switch Protection
When enabled, Kill Switch Protection helps ensure all traffic remains inside the VPN tunnel by automatically blocking any connection that would otherwise bypass the VPN.

What Beta Testers are Saying
The 10G SFP+ and 10GbE RJ45 combo is brilliant. I’ve got my multi-gig fiber line feeding directly into my local NAS switch setup with zero bottlenecks.
@mnavis29
As a technical enthusiast running a high-performance smart home on a 2.3 Gbps symmetrical fiber connection, the GL.iNet Flint 4 (GL-BE14000) has completely redefined my network's capabilities. The hardware profile is stellar. Having access to multiple 10Gbps and multi-gigabit switch ports means I can finally saturate my full ISP line speed right out of the box.
@ashoruk89
Move over OPNSENSE/FLINT 2, FLINT 4 is my new favourite.
@Oztech74L
GL.iNet have come up with a masterpiece of engineering with the Flint 4. Not only do you get a gorgeous router with an LCD touchscreen along with 10 GBE and 64GB flash, you get a world class router, capable of exceeding 2Gbps with OpenVPN connections.
@phantasm2222
Flint 4 (GL-BE14000) is a fantastic step up from the Flint 2, with noticeably better Wi-Fi coverage and speed, lower latency, and rock-solid stability across every device I tested. It stays cool and silent even under heavy use, handles advanced networking setups like VLAN segmentation with ease, and easily saturates my 2.5Gbps homelab connection without a single hiccup.
@ziotidus
Flint4 is a real improvement in the home network. If you have no special needs, just plug in, open the Web interface and connect to the ISP or upstream router. You'll get a fast central network node, to connect multiple 2,5GB devices and one 10GB SPF+ for a NAS or similar.
@LupusE
Its Wi-Fi 7 capabilities and robust signal strength represent a significant leap over previous-generation devices that once you experience it, there’s truly no going back. And thanks to its polished interface, I can quickly deploy VPNs, configure dedicated VLANs, and fine-tune advanced network settings with just a few clicks.
@leo.sfsm
Performance was consistently fast and stable, with excellent Wi-Fi coverage and solid VPN throughput. The hardware feels premium and the software is easy to use, although the router can get a bit warm under load. Overall, it's a powerful router with great potential, and I'm looking forward to the official release and continued software improvements.
@Punajurrikka
The Flint 4 is an absolute powerhouse, easy to set up and jam packed with features you’d expect in enterprise hardware. My Wi-Fi has never been so good!
@torvi9607
I have a very demanding environment, not only in terms of networking equipment, but also the physical structure of my house. The Flint 4 was piggy backing off of my 10Gig home network and was the forefront of my homelab test environment. The Flint 4 was physically located at the top level of a 3 storey house and was still able to produce a strong wifi signal that allowed me to connect to even in the ground floor.

Reviews
Best Wifi 7 Router
"Was previously using tplink hb710 wifi 7 mesh router and found that at certain area I could not get wifi on my iphone. With this router, the wifi coverage area is so good that I never drop wifi connection. Recommended!"
One of the best home routers with Wi-Fi 7 in 2026
"This is exactly what I've searched for a while: ✔ Good amount of ethernet ports to combine all my wired connections (1x 10G copper port for my NAS, SFP slot for flexibility with future high-speed Internet, 2.5/1G ethernet ports for LAN). ✔ Wi-Fi 7 support (Wi-Fi alliance certified chipset) ✔ Very good thermal management - silence in my room without any overheat ✔ Full compatibility with OpenWrt, including hardware offload and acceleration. ✔ Good support from manufacturer: even if you are not experienced with OpenWrt with interface from Gl-Inet you will be able to configure this router in minutes. I paid a bit high price for it, but I consider it as a ''thank you" to development team. I'm using it about a month and it's awesome. I hope, manufacturer will keep up a good development pace for the flagship device enabling more flexibility in interface and with native OpenWrt 25 support, hardware acceleration improvements and so on. Definitely recommended to purchase."
Flint 4: Powerful, Simple & Truly Plug-and-Play
"Flint 4 is an impressive home router! I really like how handy the graphical interface is for quick setup and everyday adjustments without having to go through a web configuration page. It’s easy to connect and feels almost plug-and-play. The unique design, compact size, simple interface and powerful features make it a great all-in-one router for a modern home. Simple, convenient and feature-packed, exactly what a home router should be."
The Ultimate Wi-Fi 7 Homelab Upgrade
"Having recently upgraded from the Flint 2 to the GL. iNet Flint 4 (GL-BE14000), the leap in both Wi-Fi coverage and overall network performance is immediately noticeable. While the previous generation was a solid workhorse, this new Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router redefines what a home network hub can handle, making it an absolute powerhouse for any demanding homelab or advanced smart home setup."
Incredible, Just Incredible!
"Congratulations GL. iNet! The Flint 4 router has to be one of the easiest routers I’ve ever setup, not just the initial connection, but advanced features such as VLANs, VPNs, and AdGuard are so easy to configure. And as for the performance? Well, it’s covering all of my solid brick house and garden where I previously needed a mesh network and 3 mesh devices that went with it."
Awesome hardware
"Fantastic router. I previously used the Netgear R7800 with OpenWrt because the original firmware lacked features. The Flint 4 has such a comprehensive system that installing anything else makes no sense. It's fast, very stable, and I've never once managed to get it hot enough to activate the built-in fan. It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the price."
Best router I purchased so far
"I owned an Asus BE router setup with 1 other router in a mesh environment but was never happy with the setup. I got the Flint 4 and wow... I replaced the mesh setup with just this router. Range is amazing and running for a week without any issues. Setting up was a bit of a learning curve (when you only used Asus before). I have also setup a 5G modem tethering on USB and (again wow), failover is instant (in comparison to the Asus router). To use some parental apps or specific monitoring you need to disable hardware acceleration; I haven't done that yet as I'm not exactly sure what the impact will be. I highly recommend this and selling my Asus routers."
It's a super bit of kit!
"There's soo much you can do with it, The range and speed at that range is soon much better than a standard broadband router they give you, also you can run everything through a VPN running on the router it's self. It looks very well built for the money, hopefully it be reliable, I've no reason to think it won't be yet 👍"
4.10.1 solved the problems
"After a little difficult start with the Flint 4 and wifi jumping up and down, the new upgrade 4.10.1 has solved the problems - and I am very happy that the mesh (even in beta) in a very simpel way helped to set up my Flint 3 as a node. Noe I wait for the mesh upgrade for my Slate 7 Pro so the house is covered with wifi 7. But the Flint 4 is fantastic"
Excellent product
"This is my third router from the Flint series. And I love it! It has even more functionality then the previews version. The only thing the I would love to see is the ability to transfer my DHCP static table when upgrading. But anyway, this feature can't be found it other brands too."
