run pi-star repeater without an internet connection?
Re: run pi-star repeater without an internet connection?
Hi, I have tested and had this running fine on my repeater running Pi-star
It would only go into stand alone repeater if Auto AP is enabled (default) in firewall configuration section I found
So unless something has been changed or broken in pi-star the sequence is as below
1. MMDVM repeater powers up
2. trys connecting to any saved wi fi internet connections or cable connection ( about 2 minutes)
3. when no connections in 2. above then turns into a wifi hotspot to log into and configure (for about 2-3 minutes)
4. If not logged into after about the time period above in 3. then shuts off wifi hotspot login and MMDVM continues to start up and runs as standalone repeater.
Hope this still works and helps you.
