1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,480
if you're anything like me you are absolutely utterly exhausted at looking

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:12,719
at the random BS new feature that somebody has put in to a Wi-Fi router to

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:18,560
sell to people on Amazon it looks like a spider or it has RGB no this is a Wi-Fi

4
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:23,199
router that doesn't have it just has things that you know a Wi-Fi

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:27,720
router should have and uh ginet sponsored us to check this out this is

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,800
their Flint 2 and just just look at this

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:34,120
we've got Wi-Fi 6 we got fast Wi-Fi we have two 2.5 gbit ports rather than you

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:38,000
know a lot of the ones you see online where it's like oh it's got 2.5 g oh

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:41,920
yeah it's just the WAN so if you have a 2.5 gig connection and you want a hardw

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,719
computer too bad buy something else this one they at least included two it's got

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:49,399
multi-wan support it runs open wrt just

12
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:54,320
an operating system that's open source it just works and best of all VPN and

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,199
not just some layo VPN you can run a wire guard server a a private VPN for

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,079
yourself so you can connect to your devices at home anywhere in the world or

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:09,040
you know stream your internet connection through your home connection securely at

16
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:11,799
900 megabit almost a gigabit off of a

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,360
$200 Wi-Fi router which is pretty freaking sick I like these these are

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,680
like the convertible power bricks we can kick it onto here does it come with the

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,040
other ones hey it does so you could travel with

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:28,360
this look at that oh cute I didn't actually realize

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,159
that this has redundant hardwired wian

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,200
which is super cool so we'll see in a few minutes here but I imagine you can

23
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,399
probably use this as like a catch the Wi-Fi and repeat it you can also use a

24
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,000
hardwired wi you could use two hardwire WS you can probably connect cellular to

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,479
this thing there's a USB port to tether your phone too and those two hardwired w

26
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,799
ports are both the 2.5 gig and you can see right there you can switch it between Lan and lamb like I mentioned

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,079
before so you could use this to pass a faster than 1 gig internet connection to

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,360
a device or a switch or something like that they've also got four more 1 gig

29
00:01:57,479 --> 00:02:04,799
Ethernet ports so you can use this uh for most of your devices like a switch

30
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,920
12vt DC jack USB 3 port on the side oh

31
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,760
look it's got the little um Keyhole Mount so you can mount this on the wall

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,920
or to something metal with the LT Cable Management product we have a little

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,950
thing that goes in the keyhole stick it in there tighten the thing that one on

34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,040
magnetic you ready for this can we see

35
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,080
it bam cable managed it's kind of

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,840
awesome you can have like your PC right there and just like mount it to the back of the PC or to the PC case magnets

37
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,879
Let's uh let's do some Wi-Fi stuff wow look at all these see I was right

38
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,560
multi-wan we've got Ethernet one Ethernet 2 repeater and tethering all

39
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,920
right let's connect it to the Wi-Fi too why not right let's set up a multiwan

40
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,400
here why not oh right here repeater options oh beautiful that's easy band

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,599
selection five apply connect oh you can

42
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,560
even lock it to a specific access point

43
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,400
if you have multiple access points or set a static IP on this which is nice

44
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:04,920
we've now got the Ethernet that's coming into it and the office Wi-Fi going to

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,720
this and then it's beaming internet back to me so if I were to go into this and

46
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:15,840
say yo dog it's failover right now load balance use multiple interfaces to

47
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,159
increase the total bandwidth whoa let's disconnect unplugged and we're still

48
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,799
vibing obviously the paint is going be a lot worse on Wi-Fi but unconnected

49
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,159
disconnected see imagine you're on like a cruise ship or something hey and there

50
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:30,760
we go bam now we have two internet connections again and it's so easy like

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,680
that did not take any fancy hacker man setup I just literally connected to the

52
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:42,519
Wi-Fi network but that's only two how about three connections H East two iOS

53
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,400
boom three connections now all right let's unplug that boom we're not going

54
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,480
through the cellular on my phone over USB aside from that it can do all of the

55
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:55,879
other normal things that routers do you can play around with your IPS either in

56
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,040
a advanced or easy way you can set up a

57
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:03,040
firewall you can open ports you can have a guest Network you can do DNS over htps

58
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:05,319
or TLS you can change the network but yeah you can actually run this thing

59
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:09,239
just as an access point if you already have a router you can totally do that

60
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,000
there's IPv6 support you can change the Mac addresses you can do pretty much

61
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,799
anything you could do with any other router plus they have the cool VPN stuff

62
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,360
and not just you can run a VPN server on these which like I said before is a

63
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:25,919
really strong suit so say you're from the states and you have like bomb

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Netflix but you're you happen to be overseas somewhere and they have crap

65
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,199
Netflix well connect to your home home network and watch whatever Netflix you

66
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:38,479
would watch like you were at home you can also connect to zero tier or tail

67
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,400
scale natively which is super nice tail scale and zero tier if you're not

68
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:47,320
familiar are peer-to-peer VPN solutions that are really awesome but let's try

69
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:50,880
the wire guard server generate config

70
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,840
start okay well that was easy profiles

71
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,800
add a profile we'll call this Jake's laptop ah it even it prompts you to use

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,639
Dynamic DNS cuz if your IP address were to change EX internally uh you wouldn't

73
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,479
be able to access this router right but it will let's say enable Dynamic DNS and

74
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,120
it gives us okay sick you don't even have to like set up a service they just

75
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,880
have their own Dynamic DNS service that's awesome it's been set up I have

76
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,919
wire guard running on my laptop I've got my laptop connected to our 10 GB

77
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:25,160
internet and this router is connected to a separate 1 gig connection that we have

78
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:31,080
for testing things out let's see how fast the wire guard connection is oh

79
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:33,680
let's go 800 180 look at that boys and

80
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,319
girls wow magic naturally if you were to use openvpn it would be a lot slower

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,400
since openvpn is single threaded but wire guard freaking rips and the reason

82
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:46,000
it can do that is due to the hardware acceleration on here it is a quad core

83
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:50,280
mediatech chip so it's nothing like the super insane it's it's only a $200

84
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:55,400
router but the hardware acceleration is what makes this able to go so fast they

85
00:05:53,479 --> 00:05:59,319
even have ad blocking on here not that I would recommend that because that does

86
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,880
pay for me to feed my children my my child as a cat but still they got DNS

87
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:10,120
over hgps they got aduard home they got wpa3 support for security they also have

88
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,599
built in parental controls with bark that does require a subscription to use

89
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:20,160
that other than that man it just it just Wi-Fi it Wi-Fi is good it routes good it

90
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:24,840
does a VPN good it's not that expensive um you could also if you're like a

91
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,800
traveler big travel person you could host your own VPN on this thing and then

92
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,599
get one of their cute little travel routers like the Slate ax or the barrel ax um and then you can run these as a

93
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:41,800
VPN client you know what screw it let me show you how that works the provider

94
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:43,639
is the Flint 2 router boom apply we now

95
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:48,280
have our little baby slate ax travel router running is a VPN client for the

96
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:53,039
VPN server that's running on the Flint 2 let's see how fast that goes damn look

97
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,440
at that okay that's pretty ridiculous this is literally faster I don't know

98
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:03,879
how but it's faster little guy can run wire guard client at at gig down 500 up

99
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,440
that's pretty good I mean you're probably not going to find a 1 gig connection while you're traveling but if

100
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:14,160
you did it can handle it it's so little look how cute it is last but not least

101
00:07:11,479 --> 00:07:19,240
let's try the Wi-Fi set to 160 y this is still Wi-Fi 6 not Wi-Fi 6 so we

102
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:21,960
shouldn't expect like above gigabit speeds per se but we should still be

103
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:27,440
able to get some pretty fast Wi-Fi out of this thing this is a relatively congested environment so I wouldn't

104
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:32,080
expect anything like much crazier than this yeah it's about 600 both ways

105
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:38,520
overall pretty stout little router I mean it can do really fast VPN it can do

106
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:41,160
real fast Wi-Fi it has two 2.5 gig ports

107
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,159
and for $189 I mean if I had to pick this or a gaming router I think the

108
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,560
choice is pretty obvious again thanks to glette for sponsoring the video uh if

109
00:07:47,159 --> 00:07:51,919
you guys like what you saw here you can check it out at the link down below

110
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:56,960
we'll also have their travel routers linked down there those things are pretty sick get subscribed like the

111
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:00,639
video and if you want more content why don't you check out the video I did on

112
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,840
the barrel ax which is one of their little travel routers that think it's

113
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840
pretty sick
