Hello all.
I’ve been trying to get my AR300M16 to connect to a captive portal network but I can’t seem to make it work. I’ve tried a lot of the suggestions I found in the forum and no luck yet.
My firmware version is 3.203. I tried upgrading to 3.211 and had the same issue but with a different error message (“Wrong key”, which I found out that it is a bug in that firmware).
What I’m trying is:
- Connect the AR300M16 to the laptop via ethernet (LAN port)
- Connect to the captive portal network from a laptop
- Authenticate the laptop using the captive portal’s authentication popup
- Grab the laptop’s wifi card mac address
- Update the
Your Router (WAN)to match the laptop’s mac address - Disable the
DNS Rebinding Attach Protection - Disconnect the laptop from the captive portal network
- Find the network in the Internet>Wi-fi section
- Press join
After a long while I get an error saying: ERROR: Time out
I looked at the logs and here’s what it ends with:
