@witty @buntspext appreciate that if you can report the location e.g. hotel names etc.

If it is your own wifi, pls report the exact AP (and AC) model.

Today, for the first time i ran into a connection problem (SSID: RRX Hotspot) with op24 (4.6.4). It looked like using non-op24 version. The router did not get an ip.

I found another problem and not sure if its related in any way. After a long time i used the android app (2.6.0) again. In the network list there is nothing displayed under saved networks. See difference between web and app Version.

From the log it seems that the connection is failed, not the same as before (connected but didn't get IP).

When it use a new mac address to connect, it connected without problem.

alzhao · 2024-10-04T04:14:01.255Z

I tested my iOS app and it is sill fine. I will let other guys to have a check.

Samongl · 2024-10-05T06:42:47.652Z

I've been struggling with the same "getting" but never connecting issue at several hotels in Spain.

This firmware appears to have worked, though the other stable firmware releases (4.6.2, nor the latest which is 4.6.4) worked.

alzhao · 2024-10-07T04:53:10.546Z

In the smartphone app, extend the left menu

Enable the app log and you will see the log icon.

Then go to repeater section, when you have the "empty" saved network list, click the "log" icon and extend the log. pls post the log here.

tonyx · 2024-10-21T10:11:25.900Z

This worked like a charm! meanwhile version 4.6.8 did not work and I have no idea why. Does it break auto-update though?

Sorry. For the late reply. Just tried with version 4.6.6-op24 and problem still exists. This is the log:

alzhao · 2024-10-23T09:13:06.128Z

Thanks for the log. From the log actually the API response with the saved ap list.

I am asking developers to check why it is not displayed.

alzhao · 2024-10-23T09:42:44.604Z

Confirmed that the app has bugs and will update.

acong · 2024-10-23T09:45:35.128Z

Confirmed to be an App bug and will be fixed in the next version.

buntspext · 2024-10-23T10:05:41.722Z

Thanks for the info. Then i will wait for the next version.

3 posts were split to a new topic: MT3000 4.6.6 repeater cannot get IP address

Monoman · 2024-11-20T05:44:20.514Z

I'm not using the App. I'm using the web admin interface and the latest stable firmware from October 2024. Is there an ETA for a release in the stable channel? What about the beta?

alzhao · 2024-11-20T08:21:47.388Z

I am not sure which problem you refer to.

This post contains multiple questions.

On Oct 2 @buntspext posted a bug of the app. Which @acong was referring to.

If you mean MT3000 cannot get IP address, pls use the op24 firmware.

acong · 2024-11-20T08:38:22.360Z

The bug of not displaying saved wifi has been fixed in the v2.6.0 release
