troubleshooting checklist

  • is the wifi network visible?
  • if so, can I connect to it and get a DHCP IP address?
    • if not, set a static IP address on your machine, i.e. 192.168.1.99
    • if so, can I get online? (do I see the login/portal pages?)
      • if not, can I ping the router (192.168.1.1)?
        • if so, can I ssh into the router?
          • if so, is the router online?
            • (does it have a wan ip address?: “ifconfig”)
            • (can I ping the Internet?: “ping 4.2.2.2”)
          • if so, is wifidog running? (if it's not, start it: ”/etc/init.d/S65wifidog”)

Report the results of these tests on the hotspot's page on the technical logs page.
