WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.480
if you're anything like me you are absolutely utterly exhausted at looking

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

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

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:23.199
router that doesn't have it just has things that you know a Wi-Fi

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:27.720
router should have and uh ginet sponsored us to check this out this is

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.800
their Flint 2 and just just look at this

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

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

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

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:47.719
computer too bad buy something else this one they at least included two it's got

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:49.399
multi-wan support it runs open wrt just

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:54.320
an operating system that's open source it just works and best of all VPN and

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

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:03.079
yourself so you can connect to your devices at home anywhere in the world or

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:09.040
you know stream your internet connection through your home connection securely at

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.799
900 megabit almost a gigabit off of a

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.360
$200 Wi-Fi router which is pretty freaking sick I like these these are

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.680
like the convertible power bricks we can kick it onto here does it come with the

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.040
other ones hey it does so you could travel with

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:28.360
this look at that oh cute I didn't actually realize

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.159
that this has redundant hardwired wian

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

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

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:42.000
hardwired wi you could use two hardwire WS you can probably connect cellular to

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

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

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.079
before so you could use this to pass a faster than 1 gig internet connection to

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

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:04.799
Ethernet ports so you can use this uh for most of your devices like a switch

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:06.920
12vt DC jack USB 3 port on the side oh

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

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.920
or to something metal with the LT Cable Management product we have a little

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:19.950
thing that goes in the keyhole stick it in there tighten the thing that one on

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.040
magnetic you ready for this can we see

00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:27.080
it bam cable managed it's kind of

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

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

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.560
multi-wan we've got Ethernet one Ethernet 2 repeater and tethering all

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

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:51.400
here why not oh right here repeater options oh beautiful that's easy band

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.599
selection five apply connect oh you can

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.560
even lock it to a specific access point

00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.400
if you have multiple access points or set a static IP on this which is nice

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

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

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:15.840
say yo dog it's failover right now load balance use multiple interfaces to

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.159
increase the total bandwidth whoa let's disconnect unplugged and we're still

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.799
vibing obviously the paint is going be a lot worse on Wi-Fi but unconnected

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.159
disconnected see imagine you're on like a cruise ship or something hey and there

00:03:24.799 --> 00:03:30.760
we go bam now we have two internet connections again and it's so easy like

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.680
that did not take any fancy hacker man setup I just literally connected to the

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:42.519
Wi-Fi network but that's only two how about three connections H East two iOS

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.400
boom three connections now all right let's unplug that boom we're not going

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

00:03:48.519 --> 00:03:55.879
other normal things that routers do you can play around with your IPS either in

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:58.040
a advanced or easy way you can set up a

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

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.319
or TLS you can change the network but yeah you can actually run this thing

00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:09.239
just as an access point if you already have a router you can totally do that

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.000
there's IPv6 support you can change the Mac addresses you can do pretty much

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:18.799
anything you could do with any other router plus they have the cool VPN stuff

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

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.919
really strong suit so say you're from the states and you have like bomb

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.880
Netflix but you're you happen to be overseas somewhere and they have crap

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:33.199
Netflix well connect to your home home network and watch whatever Netflix you

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:38.479
would watch like you were at home you can also connect to zero tier or tail

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:41.400
scale natively which is super nice tail scale and zero tier if you're not

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:47.320
familiar are peer-to-peer VPN solutions that are really awesome but let's try

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:50.880
the wire guard server generate config

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:53.840
start okay well that was easy profiles

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

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.639
Dynamic DNS cuz if your IP address were to change EX internally uh you wouldn't

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

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

00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:15.880
have their own Dynamic DNS service that's awesome it's been set up I have

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:20.919
wire guard running on my laptop I've got my laptop connected to our 10 GB

00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:25.160
internet and this router is connected to a separate 1 gig connection that we have

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:31.080
for testing things out let's see how fast the wire guard connection is oh

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.680
let's go 800 180 look at that boys and

00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:37.319
girls wow magic naturally if you were to use openvpn it would be a lot slower

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.400
since openvpn is single threaded but wire guard freaking rips and the reason

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

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

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:55.400
router but the hardware acceleration is what makes this able to go so fast they

00:05:53.479 --> 00:05:59.319
even have ad blocking on here not that I would recommend that because that does

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

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:10.120
over hgps they got aduard home they got wpa3 support for security they also have

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:14.599
built in parental controls with bark that does require a subscription to use

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

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

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.800
traveler big travel person you could host your own VPN on this thing and then

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

00:06:31.599 --> 00:06:41.800
VPN client you know what screw it let me show you how that works the provider

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.639
is the Flint 2 router boom apply we now

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:48.280
have our little baby slate ax travel router running is a VPN client for the

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

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:57.440
at that okay that's pretty ridiculous this is literally faster I don't know

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

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

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

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

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.960
shouldn't expect like above gigabit speeds per se but we should still be

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

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:32.080
expect anything like much crazier than this yeah it's about 600 both ways

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:38.520
overall pretty stout little router I mean it can do really fast VPN it can do

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:41.160
real fast Wi-Fi it has two 2.5 gig ports

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

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:49.560
choice is pretty obvious again thanks to glette for sponsoring the video uh if

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

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

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

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:04.840
the barrel ax which is one of their little travel routers that think it's

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.840
pretty sick
