    Thanks Jeff, that has worked for me also.

    I would say though, it is very convoluted and not at all intuitive, perhaps there could be improvements made to the process in the next firmware.

    thanks again

    OK tried that, no difference.

    After I disabled Wifi as WAN, rebooted, then enabled it to do a scan, didn’t see anything.

    Then tried another reboot (Save and Restart), still no networks showing.

    Jumped on via SSH.

    “ifconfig” shows wlan0 is present.

    “iwlist wlan0 scan” shows all of the networks, yet nothing shows up in the AEP GUI.

    Is there anything else I can do at my end to help you analyse and debug what might be happening?

    Yes the Wifi AP is definitely not enabled.

    I will try what you suggest and get back to you

    Thanks

    OK thanks, thats seemed to have worked (partly)

    Using same settings (apart from SSID and Password of course) from here

    https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/wifi-config-on-a-multitech-mlinux-conduit/1244/6

    ifconfig now lists wlan0

    wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:DA:38:92:5C:F3
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:1945 errors:0 dropped:173 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:288316 (281.5 KiB) TX bytes:1012 (1012.0 B)

    and ifup wlan0 results in this

    admin@mtcdt:~# ifup wlan0
    udhcpc (v1.22.1) started
    Sending discover…
    Sending discover…
    Sending discover…
    Usage: /etc/udhcpc.d/lanup {bound|renew|deconfig}
    run-parts: /etc/udhcpc.d/lanup exited with code 1
    No lease, failing
    admin@mtcdt:~#

    I’m really an amateur at both Linux and the Multitech – any hints on what to check/change greatly appreciated.

    cheers
    Paul

    edit: I am working on an AEP model if that makes a difference

    I wonder if the 6 Conduits I have can be retrofitted in any way?
