Nice stuff Foxtrot! All of the love!

I just updated to 1.0.1 from the stable update channel and I am seeing a lot of issues.

• If I enable PineAP the CPU usage goes up to 97%
• Can't connect to the open wifi AP SSID
• Broadcast APs don't seem to be broadcast
• Wifi Recon returns no results

I was running 1.0.1 beta 4 before and everything was ok, apart from the very slow client network performance when connected to a broadcast PineAP SSID

Anyone else having issues?

@davidb62 Thanks for reporting that - Reinstalling the firmware should fix that for you.

Click on "Settings" then "Check for Updates", then "Reinstall Current Firmware".

Yes, it's fixed now (we also chatted on discord)

I am also pleased to report the network throughput of the client when connected to an SSID broadcast by PineAP seems to be a lot better now

Thanks!

how long does it typically take to reinstall firmware

Everything is relative, but not long at all I would say if we are talking about a firmware recovery of the Mk7, haven't clocked it though
