Adding second WiFi network stops all connections

Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:29 pm

I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and when I have one connection in wpa_supplicant.conf - my home network - it works fine. I've been trying to add another connection - wifi tethering from my android phone - which, when it's the only connection is fine, but when I try and add both together, neither work.

I've tried with and without id_str="xx" & priorities.

My aim is to have a static IP setup for the connection to my phone so I can use it to SSH into my pi while travelling.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Are you assigning the static IP in /etc/dhcpcd.conf? If so, this may help.

Code: Select all

#change this
interface wlan0
#to this
ssid yourphonessid
Repeat as necessary.
