I have an Beryl MT 3000 with the latest firmware 4.2.3. I tested the router at home in The Netherlands and with with a public wifi (with captive portal) and all worked fine. I’m on vacation now in France, and try to connect to the camping wifi. In the admin-page when I try to connect to repeater, it does not show ANY wifi SSID. I tried differtent Country codes (via luci) I tried also my own iPhone setting in wifi tethering-mode, does not show up. tried my wife’s Samsung S21 in wifi tethering mode, does not show up… I factory resetted the Beryl, with no result. I found the function, to goto: http://192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/wireless and do a scan there. In there I see all the wifi SSID available and around me…
… but you don’t see the campsite AP listed via the Beryl AX using GL GUI → Internet → Repeater → Connect? You shouldn’t need LuCI for this if it is a straightforward hotspot. Can your phone connect to Beryl AX (read: are the radios on? GL GUI → Wireless)?
The repeater feature has always been broken on these devices and flakey at the best of times. I had reported major similar problems with it in the past (one of my feedbacks was just a few days the flagship AXT1800 came out) and it is quite hard to believe that people are still having major issues up to this day. Really frustrating when one is trying to support this brand.
Yeah, you should be able to downgrade. Check the bottom of the GL product page, firmware. Upload the previous version via GL GUI → System → Upgrade → Local Upgrade .
Please fix this once forever. Ran into the same problem with 4.5.0. It used to work fine before upgrading to 4.5.0 but now even the downgrade doesn’t help.
I am on vacation and there are a lot of access point to the same Wi-Fi network. However, no Wi-Fi networks are discovered. Zero. Maybe that has something to do with the root cause.
I had the same problem again when i was in Portugal this week. No matter what I did, no wifi detected. Yes via cli and scan the other wifi ARE there!
I fixed it, by once using the wanncable. (There was a cable modem in the appertement. After that trying the repeater, it found the wifi to use as a repeater…
I ran into this issue after moving from one Airbnb to another in Europe. I couldn’t see any WIFI routers using 4.5.0. I tried downgrading to 4.4.6, but still couldn’t see any. I downgraded to 4.2.2 as mentioned here and I could see all the WIFI networks. Pretty sad actually. 8 months later and still no fix for this!
On the positive side, at least it was really easy to find the firmware downloads and downgrade without any hassle.
The same happened to mine Beryl AX. It was working fine… till 2 days ago. It can’t see any network via GL interface but it does via LuCI. As you guys mentioned - upgrading to 4.5.16 didn’t help
Trying 4.6.0 snapshot if this doesn’t help I revet to 4.2.2
------- UPDATE
it worked for me @4.6.0 snapshot let’s see for how long though…
So brand new MT3000 and was working for about a day… then hit this exact same issue…
Found a workaround, that isn’t "downgrade the firmware!
In the admin interface, click on “Repeater options”, then where it says “Band Selection”: AUTO, change it to 2.4Ghz (or 5Ghz, whatever your network is).
Looking at logs, it appears that the issue is an attempt to hop on the wrong band…
I bought MT3000 and out of the box i ran into the same issue with Firmware 4.5.0 i don't know why Gl-Inet does not test and verify id the device is even working after manufaturing. They are just manufacturing in bulk and installing firmware without even confirming if it is working or not. Well while looking for the solution i stumbled on this post and solution decribed by @Spinal works but it is not for 5Ghz so i upgraded to 4.6.0 Snapshot and it started working as normal but only for 2.4Ghz. For 5Ghz it is still not working and not showing any 5Ghz wireless networks in repeater mode. I just hope GL-INET will fix this issue for both frequencies in future stable release. Otherwise there is no point in buying MT3000. GL-SFT1200 must do the job for 2.4Ghz in half of the price.
let’s see for how long though…
