Install on GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000)

About 10 minutes. This replaces the GL.iNet firmware and erases the router’s settings.

You need

• A GL-MT6000 router
• A computer with an Ethernet port (or a USB Ethernet adapter)
• The sysupgrade.bin file from the console download page. Don’t use factory.bin; the GL.iNet firmware rejects it.

1. Flash from the GL.iNet admin page

1. Connect your computer to one of the router’s LAN ports.
2. Open http://192.168.8.1 and sign in to the GL.iNet admin page.
3. Go to System → Upgrade → Local Upgrade.
4. Upload openwrt-…-glinet_gl-mt6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
5. Turn off “Keep Settings”, then confirm.
6. Leave the power on. The router restarts in about 3 minutes.

2. First login

1. Connect the internet (your modem or upstream network) to the WAN port.
2. The router’s address is now 192.168.1.1. If your computer doesn’t pick it up, unplug the cable and plug it back in.
3. Open http://192.168.1.1. Under System → Administration, set a root password.

The admin page’s language follows your browser.

3. Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is on, with the network name and password printed on the router’s label (GL-MT6000-xxx, WPA3/WPA2). To change them, go to Network → Wireless in the admin page.

4. Bind it

Continue with Bind and manage.

Recovery (if the router won’t start)

The router has a built-in recovery page that always works:

1. Unplug the power.
2. Hold the Reset button and plug the power back in. Keep holding until the LED flashes, then release.
3. Set your computer’s wired address to 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0.
4. Open http://192.168.1.1 and upload the same sysupgrade.bin.
5. Wait about 30 seconds after it says it succeeded, then set your computer back to automatic (DHCP).

This erases all settings. Bind the router again afterwards.
