Add wifi SSID:pwd manually ? #192

Closed Mik027 closed 2 months ago

Mik027 commented 2 months ago

Hi, Is it possible to allow adding the SSID and password of a hidden Wi-Fi network ? I tried to temporarily show and then hide the Wi-Fi during the configuration, but once it’s hidden again, I lose the Wi-Fi connection.

Use the on device file manager (or any other remote method that can access root and edit text files)

Navigate to /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Edit SSID line and psk

Thank you, but it doesn't work. My network credentials are correctly entered in the file you advised me to edit. I even deleted the other Wi-Fi hotspots that I had added afterward for testing, to prevent the device from connecting to those first. Despite this, nothing changes. I cannot connect as long as my SSID is hidden by my router.

Solved ! Edit /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf Add scan_ssid=1 Restart machine

network={ ssid="your_hidden_ssid" scan_ssid=1 psk="your_password" }

Thank you @2Bane for pointing me towards the solution.

@Mik027 - I tried your suggestion for a visible SSID - as my wifi was not persistant - every time powersaving started lost connection and had to re-enter SSID and Pwd again. Edited the file as you suggested - but after saving and opening again - file is blank again ? Any thoughts ?

@digitaldivergence I don't have this issue. Two weeks later, and no problem. Sometimes, I need to rescan Wi-Fi spots to re-enable the connection. So, we can assume that your problem doesn't come directly from there.

How are you editing the .conf file ? Directly on the Trimui, or via your PC ? Are you on the latest version of Crossmix ? Did you make any previous settings or modifications ?

Hi - thanks for the reply ...

I was editing in notepad on the PC - whilst connected via SMB. Whatever I edited went back to 0k so wondering if I have SD card issue again (Seems to be so common on the TrimUI). Running Crossmix 1.2.1 ..... I've got a stock SD card - let me try and swap it back, However that conf file isnt in crossmix right ? It's on the actual device area ? Could it be a permissions issue?

Regards Marc
