Hi, I just got the 1200. Worked fine at my place ( connected it to a deco X50 via an utp , towards the wan port of the GL ) . I got the 2 wifi’s enabled and could surf ok ( via the 192.168.8.x network )
Now I placed it at my daughters student dorm … where there is a captive portal on the network.
Got no login portal at first, then I disabled rebind attack protection , portal showed up and I authenticated… But I cannot surf … If I do a nslookup I get an ip ( example google.com ) . but cannot ping it.
If I go in luci into the diagnostics, I get a reply ( ping ) and also tracert is showing good results. So it seems the router itself is functioning ok, but surfing via the wifi’s is not.
In the systlog there is nothing obvious to see ( I see fwds of dns request etc )

Is is a captive portal or is it an EAP network (requires a username and login)?
If EAP I cdon’t believe the SFT1200 will support EAP networks, you’d need one of the Qualcomm based Gl.Inet units.
If I connect the router via its wan port to the utp outlet of the wifi ‘AP’ I need to put user and pwd in a captive portal. So it’s both
Anyways its solved bij alterning the iptables. Works smooth
WALL Mounted AP/Roter ( 1 UTP , POE occupied from main network I guess, 3 x UTP ) → CAT5 → GL WAn’s port ( 2 x ssid active )
When conneting a wireless device to the gl router, I got the captive portal for entering user & pwd . But I could not surf any other pages
Diagnostics on luci showed me I coud ping, tracert etc every single website. So it seems the router is ok. Then I start digging and found the TTL issue. So my provider has NAT checking on, so I added ttl 5 to the custom rules et voila… I can now sirf via any wireless device. Credential in portal never asked again (since I guess the main network looks for the MAC whom entered the creds, and thats the GL )
