oPI-PC+ wifi hotspot doesn't show up

[andrejmoltok]

Hi,

 

my problem is that I can't figure out why doesn't wifi access point doesn't show up, after setting up neither with Config utility from the desktop, neither manually from the website documentations help. What am I missing here?

 

First, the Config utility that I'm using it asks me to reboot every time I set it up successfully, but after reboot it doesn't appear anywhere, neither my smartphone won't find the ARMBIAN connection.

 

Second, I tried the way it is documented on the websites help section on how to set up an access point. I've changed the required files with nano, copied and nothing.

 

I haven't used wired internet connection just using my home wifi connection to expand to a hotspot.

Can anyone help me out with this? I want to use the orange pi as wifi range repeater, because my original wi-fi routers' range is just not enough for the whole house.

Try on beta images. We will soon make them stable. It works there almost 100%.

I will try as soon as possible, but now I have another issue.

 

I wanted to make a system install to USB pendrive, but aborted it, not I managed to check out what may be the problem with the help of uart and the following came out:

Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

It goes in cycles, like the system would be corrupted or something.
