GL-MT300N-V2 won’t connect to chromebook? Any help?

Shazgallagher7 · 2019-11-21T22:16:49.288Z

Recently received my mini smart router, plugged in and charged… connects to my iPhone fine! However, it will not connect to my chromebook?
Everytime i try it says: ‘failed to connect to network unrecognised error, unknown failure‘

Anybody had this issue before and know how to get me connected?

Any help would be really appreciated!

While there doesn’t seem to be a resolution, please have a look here.

WiFi Association Issues on Chromebook Technical Support for Routers

I have an Acer Chromebook which can connect to pretty much every AP I’ve ever tried. Except for the MT300N-v2. I get various errors, lately all pretty much “Failed to connect to network. Unknown error.” There are known problems with Chromebooks. No exact explanation, however, the belief is that there is a problem with WPA or WPA2 encryption using TKIP. Google Chrome does not support it. Other reports indicate that restarting the router can solve the problem. Whatever the cause, there is …

I’m afraid this has been covered pretty extensively in another forum thread…

Alas, gl-iNet doesn’t have an Acer chromebook (or any of the other models where the problem has been replicated) to troubleshoot.

Restarting the router is pretty much a waste of time. The problem exists between the MT300N-v2 and Chromebook and not a router the mango might be connected to.

Best advice if you really need to get this working is that maybe 1% of the time you’ll get connected. Or buy a Slate or try some other model.

@czsmith Finally we had chance to find a chromebook and test. Thanks to Hong Kong’s peaceful days. Surprisingly we can connect to MT300N-V2 without problem. We asked a friend to test in the US. She cannot connect to MT300N-V2 with firmware v3.012. But after she upgrade to v3.025 she can connect without problem. Google Chromebook 78.0.3904.92 Intel 7256 （Rev b9）

I can only repeat that this problem presents itself only on some Chromebooks, not all. The other thread lists about five models which show the problem. Quite a number of other models work fine.

It’s probably all a matter of whose chips and drivers are in the Chromebook.
