I’m at a WeWork location now that uses EAP for authenticating to their WiFi. I came here the first time with my MT3600 (Beryl AX) and had to upgrade to the beta firmware (after some troubleshooting this was the solution) OpenWrt 24 and after that had no issues connecting to the WiFi as a Repeater.
With Beryl 7 (MT3600BE) there is no such firmware and I’ve also come to understand that LuCi (which seems to have been an option for MT3600) isn’t an option here as the router is with the MediaTek (MTK) WiFi stack and doesn’t have the Network / WiFi menu in LuCi, instead it’s under MTK / WiFi configuration which doesn’t seem to be the same as the other guides online.
I’ve also tried to manually enter in the SSID from the Repeater via setting "Join other network" and picking WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise, enter in the SSID, my username and password and it just doesn’t want to connect. I've made sure (and double sure) that the SSID is the same (lower/upper caps etc) and it just doesn't want to connect. I hit connect and basically instantly I get this error message " Connection failed, will retry later… Could not find the network, please check the SSID and security type you entered..."
When checking the environment with LuCi via ..cgi-bin/luci/admin/mtk/wifi/apcli_cfg_view/MT7993.1.2/apclii0 (via the MTK / WiFi Settings and hitting config on apclii0 (5G band)) I can see that the network is listed as (as I'm typing this now, I have very hard time getting this information again) FT-WPA2/AES followed by Security Not Supported, but it even says WPA2/AES is Security Not Supported so not sure what this means.
So with all this, is there no way today that we can connect to EAP networks with Beryl 7 on the GL iNet firmware? I’m guessing one solution here would be to upgrade to OpenWRT but I rather not do that for the one offs when I go here. Thanks for your time!
So no faults there.
