The Beryl extender mode is not working properly

Routers
1

Hi! I need some help to understand if I am doing something wrong in my setup.

I have a Beryl, Slate, and a Comet in my local setup.

- The Slate is the main router, using the WAN port and enabling WiFi and LAN to connect to RPis with services running on them. Using the glinet default network (192.168.8.0)

- The Beryl is used as an extender mode to increase the WiFi signal on the second floor and has the Comet connected in the LAN port.

But I am having problems with the extender mode (not repeater mode). If I am connected to the Beryl WiFi directly, I can access the internet and all my local services (RPi, NAS and so on), but when I connect to the Slate WiFi, I cannot access the equipment connected to the Beryl, like the Comet or any other device connected to the Beryls WiFi.

According to the Beryl settings, it shows the Comet and the other devices connected with the proper local WiFi network (192.168.8.0), but they are not shown in the Slates client, only the Beryl.

I tried multiple things: Changing the WiFi SSID and Password to match exactly the Slates, same issue. Tried to disable WiFi to at least access the Comet, same issue. Restarted the configuration from the Beryl to start everything from 0, same issue.

Any idea what am I missing here? I am getting frustrated with this. Thanks!

Hi

Could you let us know the specific model and the running firmware version?

Thanks for the reply.

The Beryl GL-MT3000: 4.8.1 release 8

Thank you for your update. We have requested our R&D team to investigate this issue.

For now, please refer to this method as a temporary workaround.

That did the trick! I can access the Comet from both, the Beryl and the State now. The only missing bit is that the Comet is not showing as a client in the Slate configuration (nor the other clients connected to their WiFi), only the Beryl itself is being shown.

This is expected behaviour.

In Extender mode, the main router (Slate) only shows Beryl AX.
Clients connected to Beryl AX can be seen on the 'Clients' page of Beryl AX.
