Repeater Will Not Connect - Stuck with "Getting..." Notification

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.

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.

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:

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

buntspext · 2024-11-20T11:23:20.171Z

Yesterday while sitting on a bus i found, that the App-bug might be still there, while connected via app and not connected via wifi.

But i was not able to reproduce the problem. Maybe somebody else can test.

Monoman · 2024-11-20T12:01:33.544Z

I apologize for my incomplete reply. I am using a GL-X3000 that is currently stuck on "Getting ..." when trying to setup as a repeater in my current location. I have adjusted a variety of settings that are covered in this topic and another I found in another forum section. My router is running the latest stable firmware (4.4.13). I looked at the release notes for the latest beta (4.7.1) but I do not see any mention of this problem being fixed in that version.

I am not sure what the op24 firmware is or where to get it.

alzhao · 2024-11-21T08:24:20.090Z

The problem you mentioned appear on MT3000/MT6000 and it is fixed using op24 firmware.

Unfortunately for X3000 it also has this problem but don't have op24 firmware, due to that X3000 firmware is too complicated.

Monoman · 2024-11-21T12:26:23.059Z

Ok I understand. Is the problem confirmed with the X3000 and being worked on? Do you need me to try anything else to assist?

alzhao · 2024-11-22T01:42:00.105Z

X3000 use the same chipset as MT3000. So it has the same problem.

If for repeater you can uss static IP, that may work. But I am not sure if X3000's firmware support static IP yet.

Monoman · 2024-11-22T01:58:59.011Z

I was able to configure a static IP today to get it to work. I will keep an eye out for any updates.

Thank you.

I have the exact same issue and have been working with support to resolved it. But finding this thread probably explains what the problem is. I currently own two GL.iNet devices, MT3000 and X3000, so that means neither can connect to the repeater I'm trying to connect to.

This is a major issue for me though as in my case this repeater is for my home Internet connection because I live in a building that provides the internet via WiFi (no hard wired connection).

As such I'm wondering @alzhao are you close to a fix for this? Thank you!

alzhao · 2025-05-31T12:00:29.563Z

For MT3000 the OP24 firmware should not have this issue. GL.iNet download center

Also you can try the 4.8 firmware and for repeater you can use static IP address so should also work.
