Hello. I have a GL-MT1300 with firmware 3.215. When I configure repeater mode to connect to my home network it does not pass internet. Looking for some help.
I am able to scan and find the SSID of my home network. I am able to use the WPA2 Key and click join and after about 10 seconds it says “Success!” in green at the top. I have verifed the GL-MT1300 is connected in the Unifi software and can verify the signal strength is strong.
Any device I connect to the GL-MT1300’s wifi will connect successfully, but internet does not work. As a test I “forgot” my home network and connected it to my iPhone 14 Pro as a hotspot, works perfectly fine. So I know the GL-MT1300 is configured properly.
Here is my concern. I am setting this up and testing before traveling. I have setup hotels with Unfi before so I know I may run into a Unifi network in the wild while traveling. Can anyone shed some light on why this GL-MT1300 will not working on this Unifi network? Is there anythign I can adjust to get it to pass internet properly? Thank you!
Is a device that is connected to the GL-MT1300 able to access and/or ping any of the other devices on the LAN (e.g., router, switch, access point, computer), even though it cannot access the Internet? Are there any settings on the router that could block outbound traffic?
Is the GL-MT1300 connecting over the 5GHz or 2.4GHz band? A number of users have reported problems with band steering enabled on Unifi access points, so make sure that band steering is disabled.
I do not work for and I am not directly associated with GL.iNet
Hello. Devices connected to the Beryl cannot see any local devices on the Unifi network. I have not adjusted any settings on the router that would block traffic. Infact if I hardware the Beryl into the Unifi network switch it works fine. I have tried the Beryl on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz as well as on the primary SSID and the guest SSID, same result of no internet and no traffic to primary network when in repeater mode.
Yes I have noticed on other forums that band steering may be part of the issue, but that doesn’t help in my case. This router is for travel only, so I would not be able to change the hotels network setup. I was more wondering if this is a documented known issue and this unit just will not work for my purposes or if there was a way to adjust it’s own settings to get it to work in any “typical” environment. With the popularity of Unifi and with Band Steering on “default” i would say it would be considered pretty typical.
I know this conversation is old, but this is the exact problem I am experiencing. I’ve been using the Beryl for a couple of years with no issues. I was trying to get this setup for my in-laws who are moving into a new apt with provided many-user SSID. I wanted to create their own private network in this apt using the Beryl.
I do the Scan, click on the SSID, enter the password, and click Join. It spins for a bit and then I get the Success! message. But, there is no internet. And, on the main status page on the Admin gui, it doesn’t show any SSID connection.
I can do the same process with my phone’s hotspot and it works just fine. I also tested this out at my home using both my home network and guest network. Everything works. It’s just this network at this new apt.
I am running the latest 3.x software. I really don’t want to upgrade to 4.x unless someone knows that this will fix the issue.
Any ideas? Even if I talk with the Apt’s “tech support”, I wouldn’t even know what might be wrong with their configuration that could prevent the Beryl from connecting.
I should also point out that I can connect directly to the Apt’s SSID with my Macbook with no issues. The internet works just fine. So, the network is accessible and seems to be working. I just can’t setup the Repeater on the Beryl using this network.
Thank you for the reply! I tried locking to both 2.4G and 5G without any luck. Eventually, I had to just give up. Instead of using the provided network from the apartment building, we opted to just sign up for our own personal internet through Spectrum. Yes, a bit more money. But, when you are in a hurry to get the in-laws settled in, you sometimes have to opt for the easy path… At some point, I may come back to this to further debug. But, for now, I am good.
I am experiencing the same issue with my Beryl AX. I frequently work from a coworking space equipped with UniFi, and while I can connect to the network, I never get internet access.
I am running version 4.7.0 and I’m really starting to lose hope.. Does anyone have a solution?
