DD-WRT: trying to connect ASUS router to Xfinity hotspot and rebroadcast a different SSID

[intogamer]

I have a TM-1900 ASUS/T-Mobile Router that has been flashed to the latestDD-WRT firmware. I am looking to use my 2.4ghz radio connect to Xfinity WiFi hotspot and bridging that to the 5ghz radio into a new SSID network.

Essentially I'm trying to do this:

While I have able to get the 2.4ghz radio to connect via Client Bridge with a cloned Mac Address to bypass the Xfinity log-in splash-page, I can't seem to connect to the internet. Can someone advise? Thanks!

Your traffic is going to be unencrypted. That alone would prevent me from wanting to do this. I think those guest networks also have a pretty limited bandwidth and have QoS setup so you won't disrupt the primary customers connectivity.

As for your specific problem. My guess would be you're not bypassing the Xfinity login process correctly. You could also try hard coding a DNS server on the client.
