GL.iNet GL-MT6000 Flint 2 Management Setup
Setting the device up by default you enter an admin password.
Then you setup WiFi. This is WiFi 6 with 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs being created.
There are a number of different modes. GL.iNet has the modes with pictures and descriptions, which is nice on a consumer device like this.
You are also prompted to set up VPNs.
Here is what we had as options (more on Tailscale shortly) and this list may change. Using a VPN is optional as you might imagine.
After that, we were prompted for a firmware upgrade. That means this device is connecting to a remote server to pull updates.
The alternative is to do a local upgrade. We tried this, and it was easy.
Next, let us get to the actual management once it is setup.

Here is the dashboard after we did the latest firmware upgrade at the time v4.8.3.
You can go in and change WAN settings. This might look odd to our readers, but it is a configuration for our CyPerf testing.
There is also an option to do multi-WAN, if you want to. That includes having a Cellular backup or Tethering to another device.
On the LAN side, you can set up the IP address and DHCP server, which is fairly normal. We found the AP Isolation setting here.
On the Wireless side, you can enable, disable, and change settings for the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks.
You can also setup a guest network, and we found the AP Isolation here as well.
You can setup access control lists.
On the VPN front, there are settings for WireGuard, OpenVPN, and Tor.
The Plug-ins list looks like this is just pulling in OpenWRT plug-ins.
Under the Applications, there are a number of items, but Tailscale is here. You can directly set this up as a Tailscale endpoint just like we saw on the GL.iNet Comet PoE 4K Remote KVM Mini Review.
If you connect a drive to the USB port, you can set up basic network storage.
You can enable or disable hardware acceleration.
Next, let us get to the performance.
