Hi everyone,
I just got the mango router and I cannot get it to connect to my wifi network. This is what I see in the log:
user.info : [ 615] gl-sdk>> bIsSaved=0, ssid=xfinitywifi_HUH_Guest, encryption=none,
bssid=70:D3:79:E9:5C:80, wds=0, device=mt7628, identity=, channel=11

user.info : gl_health start->
user.info : [ 2022] gl-wifi-core>> bIsStaEnabled=1
user.info : [ 2574] gl-wifi-core>> Join wifi failed! (code=-5) ***
A bit of background on what I am trying to do:
I live on campus housing where internet is provided by a single wifi network for all the units (managed by xfinity). I want to have iot devices in my home but using the available wifi means my devices are accessible by everyone on the network. I want the router to make my private network for my devices.
To access the internet I have to enter my details on a captive portal. Once entered, the device is registered by mac address and will be automatically allowed in further connections without having to input any credentials. I can also access an admin page where I can whitelist mac addresses manually and such devices will never see the captive portal.
I have tried everything on the documents here and they work on other networks, including a public xfinity hotspot. But on my home network the router just does not connect in any way.
Currently I am going around this problem by tethering with a spare android device which connects just fine. But it would be nice to get rid of that extra step in the setup.
I have also tried a tplink nano router and that one doesn’t connect either. This points to a more general problem/clash between the network and router firmware. The xfinity support center says they don’t actively block routers but they didn’t offer any help in configuring it.
I hope someone has some insight on how to fix this. Thanks in advance!
