Hi noop
Did all this and I still can’t see the M2P sadly
But it says the accesspoint is working in the text just above the “ remove accesspoint from this device tab“
In the debug, I get this, same as before
#### DNSMASQ Installed ####
Status: install ok installed#### HOSTAPD Installed ####
Status: install ok installed#### WiFi Interface Installed ####
2#### DNSMASQ Running ####
5 S 111 7402 1 0 80 0 – 1612 poll_s ? 00:00:00 dnsmasq#### HOSTAPD Running ####
1 S 0 45415 1 0. 80. 0 – 502 poll_s ? 00:00:00There is one thing I’ll mention, when I set up my wifi, I filled in the “ load wifi interface“, the SSID & password and saved…
Now, I just thought is this right, if you can try and follow this, hope it makes sense
I have just filled in ( and always have done) and saved my router name and password, under the wifi tab, why ????
Im hard wired to it.
Also once you install the AP SOFTWARE, will this change things anyhow , because the m2p becomes we hope, the access point and can’t talk to the router,
If not, then will the m2p be looking for my router ?
Sorry noop, I’m just a little confused how this works.. But I wanted to mention it all because it might be an important part of the jigsaw.
And just gone back and checked the wifi
It says the adapter is active, and wifi connection is active ip 192.168.189.1
In the wifi debug the first couple of lines areLink encap: Ethernet HWaddr b8:27eb:a8:50:d2
Inet addr:192.168.1.11 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
So looks like this is ok too.
Well it looks it to someone who knows hardly anything about it, 🙂There is a reason for this not working, but my goodness, it’s certainly not giving its reasons up easily is it
Also I couldn’t access the url you asked me to try, and the url given my m2p as the Accsess pointAlex
Hi Guys
Well I did give it a go and realised in the cold light of day one reason why it worked last night, and even in the midddle of the night when I got up and tried it.I was, without realising, going via my router to my m2p…
So my M2P was acting like a player server…
It was wireless though, which I guess is a plus……
Anyhow, I’ve been at all day again and it’s just really odd as everything on the screen says it’s ok, but practically its not.
I tried loading the accesspoint first, last in the middle, just every how and every way and albeit I’m not done yet even though I’m pretty screwed (in a polite way) juat at the moment.
As I mentioned I do have a MR3020 portable router, and all I have to do is link that up, but thats not how it should be because I really really want to get this working.
I has to be something simple. I am crious, are you using the dongle(s) reccomended by m2p ?
And do you think a „proven“ image of a working set up would work , just a thought…You’d think if people are using the same parts, they would/should get the same results…
In the meantime, I’m going to fire up one of the other Pi’s to see if this acts differently, I’m sure it won’t,
We shall see
Really sorry guys, gutted

Ok just testing the words don’t get lost again..
It was actually something I read on the main page and I think what both you Fred and Noop have said
It was down I guess to the power supply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say I guess because every single time when I’ve set this up, I have had plugged in from the start
USB DAC
USB WIFI
USB HARD DRIVE
HDMISo I had this mad idea maybe while the programmes are been installed, there a power loss, not much, maybe a surge here and there while the programmes are being installed
So to start with I did this with nothing but the lan connected and power supply
1. Burnt a new image
2. Expanded it
3. Updated the M2P
4. Increased the USB current via the raspberry plug in
5. Installed ( right or wrong) shartunes2
While installing these above I rebooted when needed
6. Turned off and plugged in the USB DAC
7. Installed the DAC via audio-player
Then rebooted and turned off
8. Plugged in the wifi
Turned it on and installed the wifi
Rebooted and turned off ( hoping to clear the cashe)
9. Took accsesspoint from left to right, hope this makes sense and saved the configuration
10 rebooted and turned off and plugged in the dongle
11. Turned on and Installed access point.
12 rebooted and turned off
13 plugged in the hard drive and turned onAt this point, I turned on my iPhone and ran ipeng , then the LMS app, both saw M2p, fantastic !!!!!
When you have got this far, you need plug in your lan to open your web admin link in squeezebox and point it to your files on your ext hard drive
Done!!!!
Sorry guys if you can’t follow some of this but I’m not thinking normally , is really really been one hell of an experience , which I hope is now sorted
Just thanks to you Fred, Noop and Max from m2p, and I can’t tell you how much I mean that
Happy New Year to you , good luck with yours Fred, please let me know how you get onBy the way, the dongle I’m using is an edimax 7811UN
ALEXHi noop,
Ok I have just added the code you sent me after reformatting the M2p sd cardIt bricked the Pi the first time so I redid again ( formatted the card) and although it didn’t brick it, all I got was the same as before, I could see the M2P address through ipeng but that’s it.
So I tried to swop dongles but that didn’t work either. But once again when I plug into the lan it works perfectly.
As another last chance siuation, I’ve not got my oldold Pi out and im having a go at that. But boy is this fun !
Thanks for your help again noop , in the meantime I will try and work out what’s happening , not sure I’ll get anywhere fast!!
Alex
