Can't get to captive portal (hotel) using repeater mode (Beryl/MT1300)

I’m so frustrated by all this. Support had been worse than useless and hasn’t even tried to help. These forums have been the only glimmer of light I’ve had.

I’m in a Comfort Suites. The word thing is I can seem to get Beryl to really connect at all. It shows success for a serving then shows I’m not connected when it reverts to the main page. I’ve tried to do the MAC clone but I can’t get that to work either and I’m not sure if I’m even doing it right. I connect to hotel, go through captive portal, switch to beryl direct WiFi so I can control it, I then go to more:Mac clone and choose my phone’s MAC address. It successfully uses it but still can’t connect to the internet when in try to connect to the hotel as a repeater.

I’m super frustrated to learn that I can use the luci interface on this unit either. I don’t understand that choice. This has been a massive exercise in frustration and hasn’t made this trip easier but actually more difficult. I’ve been super disappointed in how support hasn’t helped any either.

Sorry for the vent. I’m so, so grateful for your thoughts and ideas from the people in this community. Honestly, it’s the one glimmer of hope I’ve had.
