No Devices Can Connect to Hotspot #131

Closed devin1126 closed 3 years ago

devin1126 commented 3 years ago

Hello, I am using a raspberry pi 4 to enable a WiFi hotspot for my local devices. The hotspot itself is able to be enabled; however, when I try to connect other devices to the hotspot, it does not work. Here is the output that I am getting when I run "sudo create_ap wlan0 eth0 'DevRobotics' '022499ab'". The error can be seen in the picture below. Hotspot_Err

As you can see, the hotspot can be enabled; however, when I connect my samsung note s20 to the hotspot, I get this error. When I try to connect to the hotspot with my laptop, no messages appear in the terminal. I only get a message from my laptop that states 'No Internet Connection. Disconnect Wireless'. My laptop is running ubuntu 16.04 as its OS. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Try create_ap command line with multiple combinations such as enabling ieee80211n with sudo create_ap --ieee80211n wlp0s20f3 wlp0s20f3 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase

And try with bridge internet sharing method create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase

Hello, This 'sudo create_ap --ieee80211n wlp0s20f3 wlp0s20f3 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase' solution actually worked for me. Thank you!
