Know before you buy
The Flint 2 is exceptionally fast for encrypted traffic, offering up to 900Mbps via WireGuard and 880Mbps via OpenVPN. This allows you to run a full-network VPN without the significant speed degradation typically found in consumer-grade routers.
Yes, the router features two 2.5G ports that are flexible. You can use one as a dedicated WAN port for high-speed fiber internet and the other for a high-speed local connection to a NAS or a gaming PC.
With 8 high-power FEMs, the Flint 2 is designed to provide robust signal strength across larger spaces. However, if you have a very large home or thick concrete walls, you may still need to supplement it with additional access points.
Multi-WAN allows you to connect two different internet sources simultaneously. You can configure the router for failover, which automatically switches to your backup connection if the primary one drops, or load balancing to distribute traffic across both connections for better efficiency.
AdGuard Home acts as a network-wide filter that blocks ads and malicious trackers before they reach your devices. Because it runs directly on the router, it protects every device connected to your Wi-Fi without requiring individual software installations.
Yes, the combination of a powerful Quad-Core 2GHz processor and Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures low latency and stable performance. These specs help minimize lag spikes even when multiple devices are connected to the network simultaneously.
