I wanted just to give an update how I finally managed to switch from AP mode to normal WiFi without using Ethernet: With the AP still working, I ssh'd into the pCP, and used the setup commandline tool to change WiFi settings. At the same time, I also edited wpa_supplicant on the boot partition, not sure if that one was needed (just wanted to make everything sure). Then - important step - I switched off AP mode in the web interface (if you don't, your new WiFi settings will be ignored at the next boot). I don't remember whether I lose contact immediately and had to hard-reboot by disconnecting power. Anyway, after the reboot, the Pi without a problem connected to the new (external) Wifi network. For the other way round (setting up AP mode while connected to a WiFi network), I don't know whether there is also a way. I decided to keep the external router (even without internet connection) because it is way easier for maintenance. If I want to update, I can easily replace the external router by my mobile phone in hotspot mode with the same SSID/password settings. Thus, I can temporarily connect the system to the internet and do updates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ schup011's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66557 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108341 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
