  1. What you're describing is a Preferred Network List - something a WiFi network manager would handle.

    There's a network manager on the WiFi Pineapple in the form of /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless -- but since it's a router OS they are static by default.

    Another way to handle this would be to have a daemon or constantly running script that starts on boot to monitor wlan2 WiFi (or possibly Internet) connectivity, and when unavailable move to the next AP in the list. This could be done by bypassing the built-in WiFi client mode manager that references /etc/config/wireless and rather interface directly with "iw".

    I recommend making a feature request at wifipineapple.com/bugs -- it'll help us know what to prioritize on with the next firmware update.

    Thanks Darren. I think you got exactly what I was talking about.

    Thanks Darren.

    Done !

    Thanks for creating the suggestion ;)

  2. You can also use ICS (internet Connection Sharing) of your Nano is connected to an Laptop (there are some tutorials available here), or to your mobile.

    But I think wlan2 (a 3rd adapter) is the easiest way even if it'l consumes more energy (or course)

  3. Nice, Thanks Whistle Master.

    My Nano is quite hot after a view minute. Is there a generally known working temp (I mean the temperature it has after idk 30 Minutes online, or something.)

    I use an wifi-USB-dongle as wlan2 for client mode and run PineAP (more silent area).

    How is yours? Is it also hot, or merely warm? Thanks

  4. if you change the SSID, you lose the old data.

    that's exactly the problem. I'm looking for a configuration in which I can store multiple network ssids and keys so that I do not have to care about what AP is available.

    Is there any syntax like that:

    config wifi-iface

    option device 'radio2'

    option ifname 'wlan2'

    option mode 'sta'

    option network 'wan'

    option ssid 'xxxx'

    option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'

    option key 'xxxx-key'

    // alternatively

    option said 'yyyy'

    option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'

    option key 'yyyy-key'

  5. I think you could manually edit the wireless config with the correct credentials. Although I'm not sure exactly as to how the network manager is configured on the NANO if it would work as desired.

    hmm, I think /etc/config/wireless will be the right place. But I have no clue what to add to gain a backup/alternative/List of hotspot (for STA mode).

    Anyone an idea?

  6. Hey Community,

    I'm always have an wlan2 (nano-USB-adapter) plugged in the pineapple so I don't need a further device for internet connection.

    (yeah, I know: one more adapter sucking energy)

    BUT: Is there a way to keep the encryption passwords for the host networks saved? I mean, testing at home is fine, but when I move my position I always have to log in manually if my primary host is out of reach.

    Any suggestions on how to automate the client mode connect on changing hosts?

    Thanks.

  7. my /dev/root is also used 100%. Isn't it supposed to be like that?!

    Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

    rootfs 2.3M 364.0K 1.9M 16% /
    /dev/root 12.5M 12.5M 0 100% /rom
    tmpfs 29.9M 236.0K 29.7M 1% /tmp
    /dev/mtdblock3 2.3M 364.0K 1.9M 16% /overlay
    overlayfs:/overlay 2.3M 364.0K 1.9M 16% /
    tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
    /dev/sdcard/sd1 6.2G 24.5M 5.9G 0% /sd

  8. As I read your answer I tried booting up via power bank (I'm in office).

    Result: Very Instable. Booting for ages then finally gets WLAN1 working for short but starts rebooting immediately. I'll try later with the wall-plug.

    What I realized is that the MKV really fast get warm (due to booting). I can also connect to web-Interface but this is as well VERY slow...

  9. Dear all,

    thanks for trying to help. I booted the Mark V today wall-plug-powered an dWLAN1 was there again. Usually I use an USB-Powerbank with provides ~2A @ 5V (so 10VA). I think due to new firmware the MKV needs a little more while booting so WLAN1 was not recognized.

    So for me it's working again - maybe try that as well.
