I don’t recall having any issues in the past with a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B but I have since re-purposed that and am trying to set up M2P on some Raspberry Pi 3+ Model A and I cannot get it to save the WiFi config. I connect to it via it’s AP mode, connect to it’s IP directly (192.168.189.1) as DNSMasq does not seem to provide an IP for the suggested http://max2play address but every option I attempt to change to the wireless settings results in it coming back up with a failure (Incomplete, deleting file). I’ve tried setting the WiFi via wpa_supplicant.conf, via raspi-config but it still does not want to connect. I also tried using it’s loopback and configuring it with a keyboard and mouse connected to a screen and still achieve the same results (except one time it saved for no apparently different reason but I was unable to replicate).
The message in the web GUI is:
```

I checked my WiFi logs and for some reason it seems to not be connecting and generating some weird traffic in the process:

```
Despite the GUI logs saying it can’t get an IP address, no requests are hitting the DHCP service on my network (Except for the one time).
I don’t know if this is a RPi 3+ thing or a M2P thing causing my issue but I also noted that the script M2P is using is using the now depreciated ifdown ifup commands.

After some more investigation it seems the scripts are not running correctly.
If I manually run the script /var/www/max2play/application/plugins/accesspoint/scripts/uninstall_accesspoint.sh it removes the AP mode and upon rebooting I can manually enter the WiFi details and have it connect. The problem I am now having is that they do not seem to be applying for all other settings too so I cannot apply settings under Rasberry Settings such as the sound card, CPU/GPU, Bluetooth, etc.
The same thing occurs with all other settings. After about 3 attempts it decided to take a static IP change that persisted after a reboot but I have no idea why these aren’t running. Apache is running as root so there should be no permissions reason these scripts aren’t running.
Any suggestions?

Hi justinj,

Thanks for sharing this issue in such detail. I will try to recreate it and discuss it with our head developer.
