In general, it is good to keep a SSH app installed and handy. There are a number of apps with both Telnet and SSH capabilities on pretty much every platform.
I use the SSH/SFTP/FTP/TELNET Advanced Client - Admin Hands app on Android, which can work on Samsung tablets. There are similar apps on iOS (e.g., Termius: Terminal & SSH client), but it may be harder to use on a small iPhone screen.
Just got off phone with tech for hotel wifi. A company called Gignet they said they block all ip addresses for routers because they donât want travel routers on their network. Donât know if I believe them but I will try the other suggestions. I have the patience.
Although I understand that some hotels do not want routers on their network, the statement that âthey block all ip addresses for routersâ does not make sense because the only IP address they see is what they issue to the router via DHCP (i.e., 172.20.13.17)
Regardless, they cannot stop you from accessing your own router on the LAN side at IP 192.168.8.1. It remains a problem that you are not able to get to your routerâs Admin GUI. At this point, our suggestions are to figure out that specific problem.
Once that problem is resolved, we may be able to work out how you may be able to bypass restrictions if your router gets blocked from their network. There are known methods that people have used, which require your patience to test which can work.
How are you powering the router?
It is an access point. It is powered by Ethernet cable. If it had a wan port I think it would solve the problem. I tried to connect to my net gear home router and same thing. I have patience but this is really trying mine.
Sorry, I wasnât clear. How are you powering the Beryl? With the original power brick? There was an indication in another thread that the GUI might not come up if there was insufficient power.
Yes using the Beryl power adapter. I even tried to connect with Amazon Silk browser on my firestick but it wonât load. So if I canât get to admin page and connect to hotel wifi I am out of luck.
Are you able to ping 192.168.8.1. from the LAN?
If you temporarily disconnect your router from the hotelâs access point, can you ping the router and access the Admin login page?
@wcs2228, I think the OP hasnât been able to access the admin login page at 8.1 at all, never mind long enough to connect the router to the hotelâs access point. Heâs only been able to connect wirelessly to the routerâs wifi and its DHCP has given him an 8.xx address. So it is only functional to that very minimal point.
I donât know that he has tried to either ping the router at 8.1, or SSH into the router.
No. The hotel wifi is called Gignet the Beryl is glm1300. On my tablet or iPhone I can see both networks. On tablet in Chrome I put in 192.168.8.1 and it times out. Tried different browsers same. Same on iPhone. If I click on 1300 network there is no internet so I canât get to admin page. I have reset access point and 1300 router several times. With no luck.
I hope you are enjoying the nice warm/hot weather and beautiful beaches in Mexico. Itâs frigging cold where I am and there was about 1 foot of snow this past week.
I misinterpreted and thought your Beryl was already connected to the hotelâs access point (Gignet). If you are not able to access the Admin login page on the Beryl, then you will not be able to connect the WWAN to the hotelâs Internet.
To confirm:
Connect Samsung tablet or iPhone device to your Berylâs wifi over SSID glm1300
You get IP address 192.168.8.185 on your device from Berylâs DHCP server
Find out what is the âgatewayâ or *default gateway" IP address on your device, which may be available through the following methods:
iPhone: Go to Settings for the wifi connection âglm1300â and look for an IP address labelled ârouterâ or âgatewayâ or âdefault gatewayâ
Samsung Tablet: Go to Settings â Connections â Wi-Fi for the wifi connection âglm1300â and look for an IP address labelled âgatewayâ or âdefault gatewayâ
Samsung Tablet: Install the Network Info II app on Samsung Tablet from Play Store. Open the app, go to the WIFI tab and look for an IP address labelled âGatewayâ and an IP address labelled âDHCP Serverâ
If it is, then continue to step 5.
If not, then do a full reset on Beryl one more time and repeat. If it does not work the 2nd time, then Beryl may be borked.
Today itâs beautiful here and so itâs off to the beach. Itâs cold at my home also thatâs why I am here. I will try your suggestions later. Thank you
Itâs very odd to me that the Beryl would boot to the point that the DHCP server is working and the web server isnât, and even a reset to defaults doesnât work.
I suppose an even more basic step after step 5 would be to reload the firmware via uboot.
Yes, I agree that would be strange.
My suggestions are intended to be simple, without having to install more Samsung Tablet/iPhone apps and having to log into and run commands in Telnet/SSH.
I wanted to respect 67corvetteâs waning patience becoming trying and allow him to enjoy Mexicoâs sun and surf. I wish I was there also, but have cancelled by twice-per-year vacations to Cancun/Riviera Maya since 2019 due to Covid-19.
