## One-Radio device problem in Repeater mode

The mini routers is One-Radio device, which caused a problem in repeater mode. When your repeater cannot connect, its own ap will not boot.

For example, you go to one hotel and connect the mini router to the hotel's wifi as WISP repeater. But when you go to another hotel when the original ssid is not available, you cannot connect to the router via WiFi. You need a cable to connect.

There are some solutions to solve this problem. One is like this post: http://www.gl-inet.com/forums/topic/wifimgr-tool-to-automaticaly-select-an-apstation-from-a-list-of-saved-aps/
