Hot spot password will not save

Post by G4CFB »

I have finally got my Jumbo Hot-spot to connect to my wi-fi. I now find that when I put a password in the hot-spot field and click "Apply Changes" It returns with the field blank again. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm also seeing this problem. When I enter the password it is saved and is visible in > Expert > DMR GW but if any other setting is changed on the Configuration page then the password gets blanked. My workround when changing any setting in the Configuration page then before I hit "Apply Changes" I need to populate the BM Hotspot Security: box otherwise the password gets blanked.

Yeah, thats exactly how you'd expect it to work.
Once you make changes in expert, you need to stay with expert.
posted and replied here 100+ times...saving changes on the std. config page will overwrite changes made in expert. Once you use expert, stick with expert.

Thanks for your replies guys. I formatted the SD card and flashed it with the Oct. Pi-Star software, but at first try it failed to save the hot-spot password again, I am still not sure what solved the problem but after I clicked on DMR main server button a couple of times I then tried to save the password again and it worked.!! I cannot say definitively how the problem was resolved.
