N4GWB, You posted “It is a travel wifi router/repeater. I connected it to my work's guest wifi and it gets through the authorization and anything connected to it was straight to the internet without issue (my phone anyway).” How exactly are you connecting to your work’s guest wifi without going thro...

Greetings all, Many public / guest Wi-Fi connections require a web browser to register for security reasons. Then a temporary password is issued, also a username. The pie star wifi configuration is provisioned only for a password or paraphrase. I have tried entering the temporary password that I acq...
