Can’t connect to Organelle’s AP

[somaaudio]

Hello,

I’m having problems connecting to Organelle AP,
I’m getting an “incorrect password” message on the iPad. I’m using coolmusic for the password.
Wi fi works great connected to my studio router i can sync using Link and transfer files using the web server. Its only the AP functionality that is not working.
Im running 3.1 and did a clean install to use the SD card for patch storage. I have an Edimax Wifi dongle.

Thanks ,

Cesar

Which chipset does your Edimax use?

Hi Chisk,

The chipset is Realtek RTL8188CUS.
I tried your change password suggestion but i get the following message on the terminal:
/root.scripts/start_ap.sh" [New File]
I don’t know what to do next, i am new to Linux.
Thanks,

Setting up WiFi on the Organelle

this says its a RTL8188CUS https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_USB-N10_Nano you can see on this page its supported from kernel 4.1x so the 3.14 kernel used will not work. thats said this is not gospel… if you run my DiagnosticLog tool, this this would give us the definitive answer. though probably not much point… as if its not working, then the most likely reason is the kernel does not support it. this is one of the reasons for my 'upgrade project’ ive already found on this project that wifi…

We recommend using USB-WiFi adapters with the RT5370 chipset

Thanks Chrisk will try to find a dongle with that chipset.

Hi Chrisk,
Bought this Wifi dongle :
Tenda W311MI.https://www.tendacn.com/en/product/W311MI.html
its supposed to have the recommended chipset according to this https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Tenda_W311MI.
But still does not work, i get a Problem Connecting message on the Organelle.
Do i need to do something else?
Thanks,

I don’t know if that wikidevi site will always be correct. Sometimes manufacturers change chipsets or other aspects of the adapters without indicating they would be any different. The Tenda site doesn’t mention the chipset so it’s hard to say the RT5370 is in it.
This thread has many options for the correct adapter: ETC WiFi Adapter questions
