wifi ends up unresponsive using two AP's
asked 2014-09-11 13:01:26 +0300
Since update 1.0.8.x I have the problem that wifi becomes unresponsive: the wifi connection icon is there, but it is totally grey. I have this problem at home where I have two AP's with the exact same configuration parameters. This setup worked well in 1.0.7.x. So now I don't know is this a bug in 1.08 or was it just luck that it worked in 1.0.7.x. If it is a bug, I hope it will be repaired in the next update because it is quite a nuisance when one has to switch wifi on and off many times.
It might be misconfiguration on your end + Jolla not handling it well, did you just setup a second AP with the same credentials (one router should be host and the second is bridge/client then, if both are host AP-roaming won't work well iirc)

One of the AP's is in my case the homerouter, the other is bridged to the LAN through a Raspberry box. DHCP is on a separate server. This all worked fine with 1.0.7.x
