I’ve recently started working with Mycroft and for the most part I’ve used it on Ubuntu and the Mark I device with ethernet cable. However now I need the Mark I device to work with wifi but I can not seem to connect to the SSID Mycroft and get to the page start.mycroft.ai. I have tried with my laptop and my phone but neither worked. Could you please help me?
Sorry for the late reply.
The wifi network does not operate in the 5GHz band nor on Channels 12 or 13. The problem was really with the temporary MYCROFT network, we could not connect to it. In the end, we simply added manually on the Raspberry PI the name and password of the wifi. So it works in the end!
In case there is something we can fix for others though. I’m wondering where you think the issue started based on the steps of:
From a phone or another computer, the MYCROFT network becomes available
Enter the password 12345678
Device authenticates and connects with the network
Head to start.mycroft.ai
Select WiFi network to connect to and enter password
Mark 1 attempts to connect
As in, were you able to enter a password and it didn’t authenticate, or you seemed to be connected to the network but start.mycroft.ai wouldn’t load, or something else?
Were there any existing credentials in WPA_supplicant when you added the new credentials in manually?
I think the problem occurred during the authentication because I could enter a password but the connection seemed to fail each time. And I tried on a few different devices.
And no there weren’t any existing credentials in WPA_supplicant.
Apart from MYCROFT SSID and password of course.
Edit: actually I just checked the wpa_supplicant since I wasn’t actually the one who changed it, here is what we had:
