AutoAP disconnects after a few seconds / Captive Portal

Post by N6MIK »

Hi - not sure if this is a 'wifi' issue or lies elsewhere... but I'll start here.

Most recent updates of Pi-Star running on a Pi-0, previously running flawlessly on my home network with an uptime of several weeks.

I wanted to move it to my truck, which has a hotspot built in. After driving out of range of my home network, I plugged in the pi and waited for the AutoAP to broadcast. Using my iphone, it connects fine, pops up a "Captive Portal" window showing the pi-star dashboard and within 10 seconds or so, the wifi connection disconnects... not enough time for the dashboard to move to the config screen, let alone add the new wifi network for the truck.

What am I missing? I haven't used AutoAP in a while, but previously never had an issue using my phone to set up net networks in this manner. Thanks!
