Rae ID for WIFI Access Point connection

mjohannessen

To create a wifi access point - the SSID is 'rae-<ID>'. Where do I find the ID? It's not in robohub.

Hi mjohannessen
Search the WIFI connections in the vicinity. The one with rae-*** is the correct one.

Thanks,

jakaskerl A network "rae …" is not exposed (using MacOS 14.0). Can it be hidden? I can search for wireless clients to my local network and find and connect using that ip, as well as connecting via the usb ip.

mjohannessen I search via my broadband router

SOLVED by resetting the device using rm -rf /data and reboot. SSID now appears and can login.

Did you resetting the device by ssh to the rae and then then simply removing the data folder by using rm -rf /data ? Was the rae wifi detected before? It seem I cannot find my rae access point. I have tried hard resetting the button and your method but I still cannot see my rae wifi access point.

jojoba I connected via ssh with usb and then

rm - rf /data

then rebooted.

HI jojoba

SSID of your particular RAE can be found at /etc/hostapd.conf

I dont recommend that people use rae as AP but here would be steps to use it as one:

-Disable robothub-agent and robothub-tunnel (systemctl disable ...)
-remove /etc/systemd/network/20-wifi.network (tho keep the details of it stored so you dont have to reprovision if you want to use agent again)
-enable wifi service (systemctl enable wifi)
-reboot
