How can I disable auto hotspot check? it's nice to have an option for that.

I assume that "force hotspot" would force the hotspot to turn on and therefore disable the connection to the assigned SSID. I executed it but nothing happened that I could detect. The attached screen shot shows the Force Mode is Active but the WLAN is still the local SSID.

hallo how to set hotspot with no password bro ? thx u

as you can see below i have followed all your steps on your in depth video (great tutorial)

and conky shows there is IP address (I'm connected to Ethernet too)

however I'm not getting any Wi-Fi showing up elsewhere (tried all my RPI' and phones) no matter if it is on force hotspot or not. is there anything i can do to solve this or any advice you can give me to sort this out (had my build a pi out in field tests with great success but i now need hotspot). thank you in advance for any help i can get on this issue.

hotspot tools should verify that the hotspot is actually installed. otherwise, a user may install hotspot tools and not understand why the hotspot isn't working as expected.

Hi Jason,

Really enjoying your raspberry pi build a pi scripts. I ran into an issue with my home setup. I have a space in the name of my wifi network and the hotspot tools doesn't display the names correctly. I've poked around in the script and changed one line to get the Add menu working changing line 204 from

LIST=$(sudo iw dev "wlan0" scan ap-force | egrep "^BSS|SSID:" | grep SSID: | sed 's/SSID://' | awk '{ print $1 }')
echo $LIST
LIST=$(echo $LIST | sed 's/ /|/g')

to

LIST=$(sudo iw dev "wlan0" scan ap-force | egrep "^BSS|SSID:" | grep SSID: | sed 's/SSID://' | sed -z 's/\n/|/g' | awk '{ print $0 }')
echo $LIST

and that got that list working and the pi connects and disconnects from my wifi now. The two sed commands can be combined into one but I ran out of time this evening.

The list in the manage wifi menu uses a separate call that I haven't managed to get working yet, I think I don't understand yad well enough yet.

If I make any more progress getting things working I'll send it on to you.

Thank you for all the work you've put into all of these tools for the ham community.

Hi Jason,

When running for the first time I attempt to "Enable Hotspot" and it asks for a reboot. Once I reboot I get:
STATUS Enabled
STATE Inactive

"Enable Hotspot" puts me back into the reboot loop.

WLAN0 is not associated
New Buster image
Nothing else running

Or... I'm doing something completely wrong, which is a very good possibility! :)

Cheers!

@km4ack I thought I heard you on one of the videos you were going to unarchive hotspot-tools repository, if it is true, let me know so I can push my changes into.

The tool is very useful to me with a full desktop or not. I made some changes that would like to contribute.

I'm using RPi 3b+. I'm using hotspot-tools2 quite some time and I don't seen any issue.

if my router is off I want to turn on RPi hotspot that is my requirement. yesterday I manually connected Rpi to my phone's hotspot. after that, every reboot RPi automatically turns on hotspot even if the router is on.

when I tried to disable hotspot-tools2 after the reboot it's showing "No wireless LAN interface found". Now I can't connect to any wifi. how can I fix this?

I tried:

1. disabling hotspot-tools2
2. removing and adding ssids

See this issue

I try to use my raspberry pi headless, on the road. I connect over VNC from my ipad.

I ran into an issue with a wifi access point I attempted to connect to using hotspot tools... it did not allow any connected devices to talk to each other. As soon as my pi connected to it, I was unable to connect to my pi via vnc to do anything, even after a reboot, it connected to the problematic access point. I was unable to use my pi until I moved out of range.

It would be nice if I could configure the pi so that it would default to hotspot mode on boot. This way I would not have been stuck in an unusable situation.
