Hi,

 

I've now spent days to get the access point running with hostapd and dnsmasq on the OrangePi Lite. Still without success.

 

Output of hostapd:

The strange thing is, that in rare cases it was sometimes possible to create the AP with the same configuration after doing: 

 

 

/etc/init.d/hostapd stop

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop

/etc/init.d/networking restart

hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf &

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start

 

 

But on reboot it always failed.

 

Can somebody help me please?

I copied everything exactly as above, the wifi network appears, but the phone does not associate.
It says wrong password.
How does hostapd not correctly send my password to the radio ?

It is "Encryption key:off"

I set it up "00000000"

 

iwconfig:
