Hello - I purchased a GL-MT3000 a couple months ago to connect to an xfinity hotspot. It worked well for a couple months, presumably because the hotspot was 2.4ghz. Last night the xfinity hotspot changed to 5G and I can no longer connect.
I have restarted the repeater wifi and all I receive is "getting....." on the IP address/gateway etc. I have also tried randomizing the mac address, selecting 5G only, but no luck yet.
I can connect fine with my laptop to xfinity but the router does not. I also tried to clone the mac address of my laptop, and use the same IP address/gateway etc in my macbook's TCP/ICP settings. I was only able to receive "This interface is connected but internet will not work."
Can anyone give some advice on what to do? Thanks!
Correct yes it is only broadcasting on 5g now (not 2.4).
It still uses the same SSID, there is no password (it is public). When you connect it is supposed to bring up a browser tab where you can login with the user/pass.
I believe I am already on 4.6 already -- I will check and come back to you
edit: As far as I know, it just freezes at "getting..." so it doesn't seem to actually fail or succeed connection.
Basically the hotspots with the "Xfinity Mobile" SSID use WPA2-EAP and are built into a lot of ISP-rented Comcast Xfinity modems. The problem I had with the GL-MT3000 is that it doesn't have EAP support with the stock firmware and the GL-AXT1800 did work with it for a while in LuCI but apart from losing those LuCI settings on every reboot, it suddenly stopped working for me a while back. Any clues why with the GL-AXT1800?
OK, I have time this weekend. What's the preferred way of submitting them? And will I have to sanitise/redact things like MAC addresses? Yes, I meant that the AXT1800 suddenly cannot connect to the Xfinity Mobile hotspots.
