A must have router for every home!
"Strong hardware and software which make this the near perfect router. I live in a double storey and i have always needed a repeater on the ground floor but now with flint 4 zero blindspot and strong performance throughout! On top of that their customer service is always attentive. Special shout out to Ms. Zoey for my hassle free RMA experience."

Flint 4 - amazing
"I divorced ASUS routers for the Flint 4, and to be honest, it's a big learning curve from a different GUI, but it was worth every penny, its far superior than ASUS, more user friendly and a shed load more options and configurations that you can shake a stick at, and that little screen on top, wow...never seen that before. Great product, amazing support and unlike ASUS a firmware that's supported without an end of life limit/death. Thank you GL-iNet, you're the new kid on the block that the big boys need to learn from!!........and run."

Great router, works perfectly
"I am very happy with this router. The setup was quick and easy, and the Wi-Fi signal is strong and stable throughout the whole house. The internet speed is excellent and I haven't had any disconnections so far. Highly recommend it, it is a quality product that is worth the money."

Das ist ein richtiger High end Router!
"Ich hatte schon verschiedene Hersteller, und bin durch die Reiserouter auf GL. iNet aufmerksam geworden, habe diese dann für mich durchgetestet und für sehr gut befunden. Jetzt habe ich mir gleich einen großen geholt, und und bin begeistert davon, der ist wirklich sehr gut durchdacht und hat alles was man möchte, und auch das kühlkonzept scheint gut zu sein, so viel Technik und bleibt trotzdem relativ kühl. Das Gerät erspart mir auch einen Switch da ich jetzt alles direkt an den Router anschließen kann. Die Leistung ist phänomenal, sehr schnelle CPU und genug RAM und emmc, man kann alles Einschalten, werbeblocker, dpi, einfach alles auf Anschlag und das Ding läuft trotzdem wie eine Eins! Und das WLAN ist viel besser als vorher von meinem bekannten deutschen Router, ich habe ein Super 6 GHz Empfang und zwar überall in der Wohnung, habe open speedtest benutzt um das WLAN zu testen, der liefert netto alles auf Anschlag was technisch möglich ist, ich hatte schon immer gutes WLAN, aber das hier ist noch mal besser, großartig. Das Menü ist selbsterklärend, und für den Alltag sind alle Einstellungen vorhanden die man braucht, dank Open WRT kann man unter der Haube aber noch viel mehr machen, damit muss ich mich dann aber noch mal richtig beschäftigen, bin da noch nicht eingearbeitet, aber für alle normalen Sachen reicht auch die standardoberfläche. Verarbeitungsqualität scheint auch hervorragend zu sein, es wirkt alles sehr wertig, ich kann es nur wiederholen ein wirklich sehr tolles Gerät, also für mich ist es jeden Euro wert, man bekommt hier wirklich sehr viel Router für sein Geld. Also ich kann dieses Gerät nur empfehlen, ebenso wie die Reiserouter, beides zusammen harmoniert übrigens sehr gut, nutze dafür wireguard Verbindungen, und man könnte sie sogar über die good Cloud managen, also alles wirklich praktisch. Aktuell nutze ich aus Neugier die 4.11 Beta, und auch diese Version läuft perfekt hier, das könnt ihr euch noch mal auf ein paar neue Funktionen freuen wenn diese offiziell erscheint. Also von mir eine ganz große Empfehlung!"

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."

Flint 4 is the Wifi router you want for your home
"Any users wanting to i) have a more secure and better networking setup, and strong Wifi connections at home, and ii) implement it with ease, Gl. iNet Flint 4 is the one to have. Here is why. On the hardware side: - SFP+ (optical fiber connection), 2.5Gb ports and 1Gb ports allowing flexibility (especially on WAN port selection) and ease of management, from a central logistics point. - My first glance at Flint 4's screen was tilted towards cosmetics. But after a few weeks, my skepticism was no more. Here is one helpful feature among many others: I know when to release the reset button, instead of guessing the lapse time needed. :-) - Wifi signals (router affixed to ceiling of top floor) reach the bottom floor (2 storey house) with ease; With more than sufficient bandwidth due to MLO mode. On the software: - I come from DD-WRT platform with familiarity of configuring VLAN, Firewalls, VPN Server (OpenVPN & WireGuard) using a mixture of GUI settings and CLI commands. But I have to say, Flint 4 (running at least V4.9.2 and later) simplifies the configuration of these advanced settings to ... a click here & a click there. I'd take my hat off to the GL. iNet team when it's known that VLAN settings are unique in each router model because of internal switch layout different in each model, rendering the traditional CLI convoluted on DD-WRT routers at times. So thank you. I have not implemented all available features of Flint 4 such as QoS. But I understand that changes in V4.10. x, QoS will be able to be applied to specific hosts via IP address. Instead of only class of services at this time. In sum, GL. iNet Flint 4 redefines what the standard features of an advanced Home and/or Home Office Wifi router should be. I suspect that Flint 4 will be the Wifi router for other manufacturers to race against it. I highly recommend it."
