In the screenshot above is ‘index.htm’ and ‘loginok.htm’ as hostnames. I tested with after doing this and all seemed well security wise but I would definitely like knowledgable confirmation. I hope that works for you and others and that someone can answer the technical questions about it. This will give you a 0.0.0.0 which you can changeįill in the address of the hotel DNS ( from the first step, mine was 10.10.65.254 ) My “DNS servers” on this screen reads 192.168.8.1 which is Beryl’s address.Ĭlick the + button bottom left of the window. In my case and just to show you the format, it is 10.10.65.254Ĭlick on the wifi strength symbol top right of your screen On Apple ( mine is OS 10.14.6 ),įirst use your browser to log into Beryl and, looking at the details of the hotel (or other public) wifi, note down the address of “DNS server”. So, you have tried “Mac cloning” and the public wifi shows up in Beryl settings but doesn’t give you access to the internet. Start by looking for your network settings on the device that you are using. For Windows, there is something very similar. I do not have a complete enough understanding of what’s going on to judge this, nor do I understand why this DNS setting on my device should effect whether the router connects or not … I’m hoping someone will explain. I have had this problem twice and the solution that worked which I stumbled on by accident is below ( and as suggested also by Lousy ).īut I think we now need to know if there are any security implications of making this change - this is what concerns me and I’m sure everyone who is using this to protect themselves on public wifi. Honestly, it’s the one glimmer of hope I’ve had. I’m so, so grateful for your thoughts and ideas from the people in this community. I’ve been super disappointed in how support hasn’t helped any either. This has been a massive exercise in frustration and hasn’t made this trip easier but actually more difficult. I’m super frustrated to learn that I can use the luci interface on this unit either. It successfully uses it but still can’t connect to the internet when in try to connect to the hotel as a repeater. I connect to hotel, go through captive portal, switch to beryl direct WiFi so I can control it, I then go to more:Mac clone and choose my phone’s MAC address. I’ve tried to do the MAC clone but I can’t get that to work either and I’m not sure if I’m even doing it right. It shows success for a serving then shows I’m not connected when it reverts to the main page. The word thing is I can seem to get Beryl to really connect at all. These forums have been the only glimmer of light I’ve had. Support had been worse than useless and hasn’t even tried to help. Really frustrating.Īny help would be amazing. Lastly, just to add, I also tried to use the GL.iNet app to see it if would better but it didn’t work either. Otherwise, I don’t really have any reason to have it. It would make everything so much better if I could get this working. I also tried to go to another webpage hoping that would put me through to the portal but it didn’t work either. I did also follow the instruction to disconnect from the WiFi and reconnect and still couldn’t get it to pass me through to the captive portal. In addition, I’ve searched online and I did read the FAQs and I disabled the DNS rebind protection under the Custom DNS Server option. However, we’re staying at a hotel with captive portal and I cannot seem to get Beryl to pass along the captive portal page. I also reached out prior to travel/purchasing to ask if it would be compatible with a hotel’s captive portal system and was told that it will work with it. Had it setup on our home network perfectly. I purchased the Beryl for our travel router and love it. I could really use some help/tech support. ![]()
