Up to today I’ve been successfully using my GL-MT300N-V2 as a repeater for a Mifi device. The GL-MT300N-V2 connects to the Mifi’s wifi network in ‘repeater’ mode, and then I connect a device (Cisco VOIP phone) that only supports ethernet to the GL-MT300N-V2. This means the Cisco desk phone can effectively use the Mifi device’s network through the GL-MT300N-V2.
This suddenly didn’t work today because the GL-MT300N-V2 can’t find the Mifi’s wifi network anymore. If found the reason is that the Mifi has decided to go onto 2.4Ghz channel 13. The Mifi is provided by my work so I have no access to its settings to change what channel it chooses. I’m in Australia where ch 13 is legal, but my GL-MT300N-V2 came from Amazon so might’ve originally been shipped from the US (Australia’s Amazon actually ships a lot of things from the US directly).
My question is can I change the wifi regulatory domain to support channels 12-13 in repeater mode?
No I’m overseas and I guess it’s coming here occasionally to use channel 13. And that’s part of the problem because my phone’s hotspot is being used and that sometimes gives channel 13 it’s a Xaiomi local phone.
I’m glad you mentioned this. I think I ran this code again twice and this time it actually read the channel 13, but it repeated the channel 13. And the thing is I have devices from the United States that don’t seem to connect to channel 13 either lol.
So there a way to get mango to accept the channel 13 hotspot and repeat it onto another channel instead? Thank you so much
I have a Xiaomi 11T which I am using as a 5g hotspot. Don’t think it allows me to choose a channel. Unless, there is some hidden or not obvious settings section which I’m not aware of. Happy to hear suggestions on this.
Some of the things it does allow Select AP band (2.4/5), Support for 6th generation (on/off), security (WPA2/3 Personal).
