Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

Ah! Ok...There's no hostapd. conf in there but there is a hostapd so I edited the # out of that. Restarted hostapd, finally saw the AP on my iPhone, put the password in and got back, "Wrong password" so I tried again and then, "Unable to join"... I'll try the bit you said about the password for iPad...

Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

All done...But something obviously not right! I got to the end, rebooted, waited...waited....waited...No AP showed up on my iPhone. When I look directly at the wifi module, there are no blue lights flashing... :cry:

Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

Good morning :)

A simple typo, so often the case!

So looking through what I now need to do:

I'll work through and play catchup tonight and let you know how it goes...Great it's still working this morning.

Question: What sort of range do you get with the AP?

Neil.

Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

Woohoo!! Awesome. I shall work through all of that as well :) :)

Once this is up and running, I'd like to add a VPN. There are many tutorials around so hopefully I'll be able to add that on as well!

Re: Trying to configure wifi AP (with VPN)

Hi, many thanks for the reply. Most of my searches revolved around the TPLINK adapter and it was only yesterday that I started looking for the EDIMAX solutions... I think it's all a bit out of my scope to be able to follow exactly what you said with your recipe - I'm still pretty new to getting thin...
