Hi Jaka,

Yes, I tried leaving it empty. The other devices we have allow SSH without password for the root user however they were both on the newer IP address. So I wondered if it was something required on earlier versions of the firmware / OS?

Cheers, Jordan

    Hi Erik,

    My apologies I'd accidentally copied one of the commands I tried when trying to troubleshooting in my original comment.

    it's .55 I get asked for a password on .10 gives no route to host es expected.

    Command;

    ssh root@169.254.0.55

    Response;

    root@169.254.0.55's password:

    Hi JordanGell
    I think there isn't a follow-up on github, I checked as well. This is the only issue I could find on the topic.
    I'll ask around the office today so we can come up with a resolution.

    Thanks,
    Jaka

      Hi JordanGell
      Following up on the previous reply, looks like you are trying to SSH to the wrong IP. The IP for RVC3 (newer models) is 192.168.197.55. Could you try that please?

      Thanks,
      Jaka

        I had tried that initially but was unable to get a USB Ethernet connection on windows. Tried it the newer model IP again now (on ubuntu) and I can SSH in without password. Thanks for the help!

        Hi ReemOthman
        You can SSH over USB as well, so you don't necessarily need a WiFi connection. Gdocs referenced above should have the required steps to SSH to your 6P.

        Thanks,
        Jaka

          Hi @jakaskerl

          Thanks a lot for your response, I've tried this before anything using the newest IP but it fails. (connection timed out)
          Do you have any clue what should I do

          @ReemOthman we used ethernet over usb rather than WiFi. Based on our experience if you're using Linux check the firewall isn't blocking the connection as this was one problem we had. Secondly if you are on the newest firmware we had to set the address manually and then revert to DHCP to get it to connect properly on occassion (also on Linux). For some reason the connection seems to work better on windows a lot of the time.
