Public Wifi auto authentication ?
Posted: Fri May 22, 2020 7:22 pm
Okay so I travel, and I enjoy using my pi-star hotspot. My issue is often I may not have a cellphone or mobile phone in the Caribbean or small islands or other countries. I am hoping others can offer suggestions or solutions For WIFI, example coffee shop wifi.
Often coffee shops are available, hence I would like to configure the hotspot wifi file to be configured with McDonald’s, Starbucks, Timhortons and other (POPULAR) free wifi. (total of 5) wifi with auto authentication.
HOW DO :: you setup the auto authentication for McDonald’s wifi ?????? With no key_mgmt=WPA-PSK used.
created a wpa_supplicant file and added to the boot directory of the SD card.
network={
#ssid="Mcdonalds"
ssid=Mcdonalds
scan_ssid=1
#psk="Xxx"
psk=Xxx
id_str="0"
priority=80
}
network={
#ssid="Tim Horton"
ssid=TimsHorton
scan_ssid=1
#psk="Xxxx"
psk=Xxxxx
id_str="0"
priority=70
}
network={
ssid="FirstSSID"
psk="password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
id_str="0"
priority=68
}
network={
ssid="SecondSSID"
psk="password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
id_str="1"
priority=66
}
Note :: I’ve also checked the documentation from Toshen, KE0FHS with no luck
Please show detailed examples what the file may look like ?????
Thanks,
