    Hi,

    I tried several times to change the SSID and the password of max2play access point on a Raspberry Pi 3.
    When I save the settings I get the message
    „Konfiguration aktualisiert – existierender Eintrag wurde geändert
    Reloading advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapdNo /usr/sbin/hostapd found running; none killed.
    failed!“
    Not sure if settings are saved or if saving fails.

    After rebooting the Pi the new settings are shown, but when I shutdown the Pi and disconnect the the LAN cable I can’t connect to the WIFI access point with my new password. But with the old (default) password connecting is still possible.

    Hi steffen,

    Sorry about the late reply.

    Can you post the debug info from your access point setup?

    thank you for your reply.

    I get the following debug info on page „Einstellungen/reboot“

    Hi guys,


    @steffen
    : do you have a Model A Pi3, too? The debug from the AP plugin says that at least the facilities for it are running fine.


    @wwlippi
    : thanks for posting.

    You can try burning a fresh image with our new buster release to see if the problem reoccurs. However, make sure to create a backup of your current install first.

    We will try to recreate the error here.

    Hi guys,

    We just tested changing SSID and password of the access point for different setups but couldn’t recreate the issues you described.

    Do your passwords contain any umlauts or special characters? The system might have problems with those.

    28. November 2019 at 17:26 #47631

    Hi,

    my Password contains special character like @ and !
    I test it now with a „standard“ Password.

    Regards

    28. November 2019 at 19:06 #47640

    Hi all,

    i have now successfully tested the following:

    No change on SSID: Grundig 1042w

    Passphrase:
    change from
    Upper an lower Alphanumeric an special characters
    to
    Numeric

    A bing great Thanks for your support 🙂

    With the special characters in the passphrase the Accesspint Mode fall back to deault AP settings.

    Regards Björn
