Yes, what changed is the AutoAP software was updated.

Is that hostapd?

The chipset I have (Ralink rt2800) is stated to work with pi-star which it does in version 3.4.17, I guess something has changed in version 4.1.4 that it is no longer compatible. I agree something changed with the AutoAP software, but without the exact same hardware as you I cannot test it and find...

Don't know if you fixed it yet, but it caught me lately with a RPi-2 and RTL wifi USB that works fine normally, but will not load AP mode. Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

If I turn off auto ap mode then the wifi will scan and find available SSIDs.

I have 2 hotspots that I have upgraded to 4.1.4 and now the wifi dongle no longer works. When they were on 3.4.17 they worked fine, but not after the upgrade. Both see the ralink rt2800 and iwconfig and ifconfig reports both wlan0 and wlan0_ap but it will not scan for SSIDs and the auto ap never sho...

Mine is doing the same thing. It always stayed connected, but since update to ios13 is disconnects after a few minutes.
