Opkg Update / Install new VR Connection Manager[edit | edit source]

This step is critical, to ensure that the Wi-Fi connection is not used by default, respecting the never-default configuration below, or it will never connect over cellular again!!!

Make sure to update to the new VR Connection Manager >= 1.1.2 !!! 

opkg update

root@vr-f53c76:~# opkg install vr-connection-manager
Upgrading vr-connection-manager from 1.1.0-r5686.0 to 1.1.2-r7198.0 on root.

Configuring vr-connection-manager.

Edit new wifi conf file[edit | edit source]

Edit the WiFi file to reflect the SSID corresponding to the Repeater, and the IP address 10.10.10.10 (repeater is 10.10.10.5)

Also, add the never-default line to make sure this connection is not used by default by VR Connection Manager.

Make sure that the never-default=true line is there!!! 

root@vr-f53c76:~# cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wi-Fi

Disable existing wifi ap network[edit | edit source]

Now, double check the config files per above. Then, stop the vr-wifi-ap service. 

systemctl disable vr-wifi-ap
systemctl stop vr-wifi-ap
nmcli con down id Wi-Fi-AP

Make really sure that there is no wlan0-ap on the reader. 

root@vr-f53c76:~# iw dev wlan0-ap del

Connect WiFi to AP[edit | edit source]

Now you can connect the WiFi to the AP.

=== Update AP to new SSID

Change the WiFi Repeater SSID to reflect the desired SSID of the cameras.

Update reader to new SSID that you just set[edit | edit source]

Now, switch the Wi-Fi file to the new SSID (the one for the cameras)

Commit AP to new SSID (write)[edit | edit source]

Once you are connected to the new SSID and repeater, make sure the cameras are also there:
