At 4.2 snapshot 2023-01-09 5:20:31(UTC+08:00) Controlling via glui 1. Router is already connected to a 5ghz wifi 2. disable the wifi repeating 3. reconnect wifi repeating by clicking connect, wait scan to finish and choose available wifi 4. connecting for a while and mentions about failure to connect 5. rebooting the router usually enables wifi repeater to be able to connect to the wifi again. ---

The preinstalled “stable” Firmware 4.1.2 is really only Beta, so I am okay with installing Firmware 4.2.0 Beta2 which is much better. Snapshots are for the development team and not for users to test. ---

yep,this snapshot of MT3000 on January 11th still has the 5G wifi repeater issue of not connecting to wif. _did ‘dirty upgrade’ from 01-09 snapshot, when all wireless is disabled, can only scan 2.4 wifi networks_ _when i enable my 5g wifi, then can scan and connect to 5g wifi networks_ _is this intended or bug?_ This is a bug. ---

I confirm the MT3000 5GHz repeater mode issue has been fixed with snapshot firmware 1/12. 😀 💯 > [@Firmware 4.2.x is out as snapshot firmware](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/firmware-4-2-x-is-out-as-snapshot-firmware/25870/104): > > After testing the 1/12 snapshot firmware with my MT3000, the repeater mode 5GHz issue has been fixed and the performance is even better than previous beta/snapshot firmware.

The most recent 4.2.0 snapshot works fine with my MT3000 on all the wireless functions. (The 1/6 snapshot worked fine for me too.) I have not come across any issues with it so far (Openvpn client, wireguard client, tethering, repeating, wired). Better than 4.1 stable and 4.2 b2, so I hope this becomes b3 before the holidays. Still not sure what the 4.1.3 snapshot is all about. ---
