afraIT Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 You guys might wanna check your filters. Client filters specify which devices, by MAC address, are either explicitly allowed to connect or explicitly denied from connecting. In Allow Mode only the listed MAC Addresses are allowed to connect. In Deny Mode, the listed MAC addresses will be prevented from connecting. So either set to ALLOW and add your clients MAC address, or choose DENY to let every client join. That should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idk_Man Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 @afraIT I just tried your suggestion. Works!!! I feel dumb af... anyways, thank you VERY much afraIT for your help 🙂 To anyone else who happens to stumble across this page in the future, I had originally set my NANO on "Allow" mode (for both options) when doing the initial setup. This turned out to be wrong. RESOLUTION Preform a factory reset and choose "Deny" mode for both options instead of "Allow". (Fill in everything else as you normally would) I then connected to my NANO via the website, then connected the NANO to my internet (Networking page - WiFi Client Mode) Next, I did a brief Recon scan, added the "Scan Results" (there's a nice little drop-down arrow "Add all SSID's to PineAP Pool"), went to PineAP, checked all the boxes, enabled both options and saved the settings. Lastly, I used my iPhone to search for the local WiFi. Connected my iPhone to my NANO's AP successfully and was able to reach Google 🙂 (I also tried connecting this way with a Android as well; works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 For the record, you don't need to perform a factory reset to make these changes. Just select the desired setting from the Filters page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idk_Man Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thanks for that tip Darren! If anyone wants a full walk-through on how to get a client connected from a factory reset NANO, I've attached a PDF. Guides you through the process step by step, with pictures.

ihmunro Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thanks Darren All I did was choose DENY to let every client join and it worked. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
