Anyone else expirience this?
My interface wifi stats always show 0, no matter if webinterface or ifconfig on cli.
Here one as client:
and another one as normal ap mode:
Everything is working fine though
It is unexpected behavior, but perhaps not an issue. With rss it should exit all the mq->fq_codel instances roughly equally. On the other hand perhaps this is the offload in action.

Worth mentioning that GLiNet have a global sale on https://store-eu.gl-inet.com/ until Oct 15th.
The GL-MT6000 has a massive 42% off RRP down to ā¬99, and you get 10% off of that amount with the coupon THANKS10. Bringing the ex VAT price down to ā¬89.10.
This is about the only quad-core single-board router that can do WireGuard at (nearly) Gigabit speed, with 8GB eMMC and a couple of 2.5GBit ports. My only gripe is that it does not have an SFP port. Otherwise, at this price, a deal.

exit 0 is mostly a standard practice in most scripts but isn't necessary as the script is fully functional without runtime errors. Choose to go with either Packet Steering or my script, not both.

OK, I know posting here will probably not get me a balanced view, but Im going to try anyway. 
I've currently got OpenWRT running on a Raspberry Pi 5 with WIFI provided by the old trusty R7800 (Wifi5).. For a couple of reasons I am thinking of upgrading to a new unit - and the MT6000 seems to be at the top of the list..
I've got a couple of questions before I order:
- Do you recommend it?
- Should I upgrade to pure OpenWRT rather than the one they supply?
- I believe there are tweaked MT6000 firmware's - is that the way to go?
- Is the WIFI signal good?
It's $134 on Amazon too, that's almost as low as some of us early adopter/preorders paid back in Dec 2023 which was $110.
@Scope not to be rude, but why do people keep asking these questions over and over? Are you bots or what? Scroll up and you'll see this device is respected greatly. No one here is going to tell you to keep the Gl-inet firmware, of course flash official OpenWrt on it. Just get one, it's an S tier option right now. At least until Filogic 880 goes mainstream.

Sorry mate, didnt mean to offend.
I have gone through parts of the thread (its huge), and I'm seeing issues around WIFI performance, dropouts, etc, but they might well be from previous firmware versions, hence I wanted to check the state of the router with the up to date firmware.
Perhaps of note is GLi-Nets Native OpenWrt 24 firmware.
https://dl.gl-inet.com/router/mt6000/
Where it's basically openwrt, but for the closed source firmware which (despite bugs and CVEs possibly in the SDK) 'outperforms'.
I don't mind using the open-source stuff if it means a slight performance compromise. Then we know what's in it.

I can only speak for myself but the GL-MT6000 runs very solid with the lastest stable OpenWrt release (23.05.5) and I would highly recommend to use official OpenWrt instead of the GL.iNet firmware.
A lot of people here are using Snapshot builds with great success (most of the time) and there are also the custom builds of pesa1234 which seems to be very solid as well.
Wifi performance is decent on my end with 23.05.5.
5GHz is great, 2.4GHz could be a bit better. I've tested the Wifi with different devices and chipsets (e.g. Intel AX201, Intel 7265, Qualcomm QCA9074 and QCA61x4A, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 Pro, iPhone XS, iPhone 16 Pro) and I haven't got issues so far.

Hello,
I authored an article (in French) about this Flint2, if it interests someone.

@neurotransmitter: Where is that?
I came here to say its available on Amazon for Ā£115, but this is even cheaper
I might cancel the Amazon order and re-order if its available for UK shipping.

Too late, its sold out.
Here are enough customers/buyers... 
Good deals all around, GL-MT6000 is $127 USD for Amazon prime day today too (almost as low as the $110 some of us preordered for last Nov ).

You are fortunate. I ordered today directly from GL-iNet in the APAC region and with extra discount was $132 - except I would have to do any customs clearance.......so rather than take the risk I cancelled.
Ali Express at the same time was around $138. Once I knew my order had been cancelled (and hats off to GL-iNet customer service) I went to re-order from Ali.
4 hours later their price (from the GL-iNet shop was $30 more at $168......
I will try tomorrow or Thursday and see if it comes back but boy was I pissed.....
I think you must be aware that if you bought a Chinese model, you'll get a brided router without some functions like VPN.
OpenWRT doesn't care about the Chinese/global model thing. All functionality is available no matter which model you have. The restriction you're talking about applies to the manufacturer's firmware, but issues with it should be discussed on their forums. Anyway, it's easy to switch it back to the "global" mode, if you care.
