raki Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 I am new to armbian and R2S, and would like to ask for guides of the way to set up hotspot. With some searching, I installed 22.02 Focal in R2S and tried to set up the WiFi hotspot via armbian-config. With the default SSID of AP mode in armbian-config, my device could find a WiFi network called ARMBIAN, but I cound not connect to it due to 'wrong password', although I typed in the default password 12345678 correctly. The armbian-config interface showed that my USB wifi adapter has got a chip of rtl8821cu. However, the lsusb command returned a different information of the wifi adapter, as shown below. root@nanopi-r2s:~# lsusb Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub I previously succeeded in setting up the hotspot in the ubuntu core OS of friendlycore, so I guess my hard devices are fine and there should be something wrong in my software settings. Thus, I would like to ask for guides of setting up the hotspot in R2S and armbian. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
