Same issue as some other folks mention, MT3000 will connect to same router over 2.4GHz but not over 5GHz. Tried changing channel to lower value, turn off mixed mode, security, etc. with no success.
Tried updating to 4.5 beta, still doesn’t work. The router I am trying to connect to is TP-Link AX3000 on latest firmware.
Attaching logs from stable firmware and beta firmware.

Thanks for your help!
I got the same problem. I unpacked the router, connected to my 5GHz wi-fi in repeater mode, updated the firmware to the latest version (4.4.6) and suddenly it has problems to connect to the same wi-fi it was connected before. It doens’t even show any other 5GHz wi-fi networks anymore.Even reseting the router did not help
I also encountered a similar problem. I described a temporary solution in another topic. For some reason, GL does not know how to correctly save settings; moreover, it deletes the changes made through the luci interface.
I am fairly new to this router and I saw the other solution and it’s quite advanced for me. I also have the same problem, my other router which I am trying to connect to is Asus TUF AX3000, I read somewhere that another solution is to turn off the AX (WIFI 6) which I don’t want to do because we’re maximizing it’s features. Hope a firmware fix will be released or how do I extract the logs so I can provide additional info to the devs
I have the same issue from GL-MT3000 (v4.5.16 firmware release3 2024-03-30) trying to connect to my GL-MT6000 (V4.5.8 firmware release4 2024-04-12)
so all withing the same router family from GLi !!!
I can set the GL-MT3000 to Auto select and it will connect to 2.4Ghz - and then select 5Ghz manually — however if the network reset/scheduled reboot then it does not connect to 5Ghz… I have to set it back to Auto or 2.4Ghz
This problem still persists with a GL-MT6000. Are there any new workarounds?
I can confirm this issue on GL-MT3000
Hello,
Is the primary router enabled dual-band integration (or called the 2.4GHz and 5GHz are same SSID and the Band Steering is enabled)?
In this case, the primary router may make the GL router repeater to the 2.4GHz band, depending on the primary router steering rules to 2.4GHz.
You can configure a separate 5GHz SSID in primary router, connect the GL router repeater to that 5GHz WiFi.
You can lock the 5GHz band on the repeater of the GL router, try to connect again. but this method probably be rejected by the primary router because the primary router band steering may not be perfect.
Yes, the main router is a FritzBox 7690 with a single SSID (and I assume band steering enabled). There is no particular setting for that.
A user here suggested that DFS may not be supported. Can anyone confirm this? Would this mean I need to fix a 5 GHz to a particular frequency below DFS?
If the router's repeater can scan, this primary WiFi is supposed to can be connected.
If the DFS channel is allowed locally, you can also modify the WiFi country in Luci > Network > Wireless > Edit > Advanced Settings

Yes, when scanning it does show as Mixed (2.4/5) with DFS, only the 2.4 connects, unfortunately.

Yes, it was set to Germany (device bought in Germany).
Same for me, except I'm connected with CH - Switzerland.
I am not sure what happened, but the router is now (several days later) repeating in 5GHz DFS mode, see below. I made no changes to my setup. It looks like the FritzBox decided to change the 5GHz channel to channel 100, which convinced the MT6000 to connect and repeat.
I am happy to report that everything feels much snappier and the connection is signficantly faster.
Do you remember which channel was the last time of Fritz Box?
It sat on channel 36 before (again via auto selection).
