How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - gaspbut - 2024-06-01 Hi, a strange thing happens to me with Openplotter 3, I connect the PC to the openplotter wifi and it works perfectly if I also try to connect the iPad or the phone refuses the connection. If I disconnect the PC then the iPad is connected. In short, I can only connect one device. Why? Thank you RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - winkaj - 2024-06-01 (2024-06-01, 10:30 AM)gaspbut Wrote: Hi, a strange thing happens to me with Openplotter 3, I connect the PC to the openplotter wifi and it works perfectly if I also try to connect the iPad or the phone refuses the connection.

RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - baltika_no_9 - 2024-06-01 That is odd. Can you show the contents of the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf? RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - gaspbut - 2024-06-03 Thanks for your answer, dnsmasq.conf is: interface=wlan9 no-dhcp-interface=wlan0,wlan1,wlan2,usb0,eth0 dhcp-range=10.10.10.50,10.10.10.200,12h RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - PaddyB - 2024-06-03 Are you using the internal wifi to create a hotspot and connect to a network at the same time? Doesn't work very well.

Yes, I do it! Indeed, sometimes, by trying and trying again, it works, but it is not stable. So, what do I do?

I think Paddy is suggesting that you install a separate USB WiFi dongle to connect to the outside world and use the internal WiFi chip to act as the AP. That's exactly what I do every time I build a Pi as sharing the duties on the internal WiFi is problematic. RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - gaspbut - 2024-06-03 Ok, I will try to use this method. Thanks again for the suggestions RE: How to connect multiple devices to openplotter Wi-Fi? - PaddyB - 2024-06-03 (2024-06-03, 11:00 AM)gaspbut Wrote:(2024-06-03, 10:35 AM)PaddyB Wrote: Are you using the internal wifi to create a hotspot and connect to a network at the same time? Just use it as access point to see if it's better, should be!

I tried to use a d-link dwa-181 which is not recognized by raspberry and I still haven't managed to install the drivers!!! |
