GL-SFT1200 fails to connect mobile hotspot on Windows 10

It's a strange problem. I enabled mobile hotspot on Windows 10, then tried to connect to it on my GL-SFT1200, but never been able to connect, neither 5G or 2.4Ghz. I also tried changing its network mode to Extender, didn't work out.

My GL-AR750S and GL-MT300N both connected without any problem.

Now I have to chain them together, gl-ar750s to windows 10 first, then connect gl-sft1200 to gl-ar750s.

Does anyone know what the problem is? any suggestions?

Please share the syslog of the SFT1200 when it (try) connects to the Windows10.
Please let me know the Windows10 Wireless adapter chip model.

Wifi is Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz. I don't see syslog on left side Admin Panel. where is it when I ssh to it?

Wifi is Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz. I don't see syslog on left side Admin Panel. where is it when I ssh to it? I don't see it under /var/log.

System > Log

or via SSH you can use logread

There is no System. There is no Log. They are not in ADMIN PANEL.

Here's log output, I have to discard some beginning lines due to word count limit:

  1. Probably the WiFi key is incorrect.
  2. Probably the PC hotspot does not allow offer the IP to SFT1200. (DHCP discover from the SFT1200 but not offer back)

I don't think so. My other two gl.inet devices can connect to mobile hotspot very quickly.
Only this one has this problem. I've upgraded firmware to the latest, no change.Tried many settings on laptop, nothing changed. I think this router's firmware must have something that's different.

What other GL router models are?

May I know what the hotspot info about the bandwidth, channel, Wi-Fi Mode(5GHz or 2.4GHz)?

Please try change to the 2.4GHz for the hotspot
Please try copy/clone the MAC from others available GL router to SFT1200 MAC.

GL-AR750S and GL-MT300N. Both connected fine.

I tried clone AR740S's mac addr, didn't work out. It connects to other routers perfectly, just not to windows 10 hotspot.

May I know what the Win10 hotspot info about the bandwidth, channel, Wi-Fi Mode(5GHz or 2.4GHz)?

May I know what is the usage scenarios to require the router repeat to the Win10 hotspot?

Tried both 5ghz and 2.4ghz, neither worked. Changed to another laptop on windows 10, also failed.

It's because laptop connects to high speed ethernet, so I'd like to use that. Also because my cell phone has very bad cell signal.

  1. Why not move the cable (high speed ethernet) to directly connect from laptop to SFT1200?
  2. What the Win10 hotspot info about the security mode, bandwidth, channel, Wi-Fi mode(5GHz or 2.4GHz)?
  3. According to the syslog you post, looks like the SFT1200 has sent the DHCP discover to PC hotspot, but the DHCP offer was not returned from PC hotspot.

Please help us to check the issue:

  1. the laptop captures the hotspot interface (Wireshark)image
  2. the router captures br-lan (tcpdump -i br-lan -w repeater_dhcp.pcap)
  3. the SFT1200 tries to connect the laptop hotspot
  4. share the 2 pcap files with us.
