No wifi connection after installing new Telenet modem

After a defect i got from Telenet their latest white model modem. no problems with any devices except Flukso.
On the web interface I can choose my wifi and fill in the correct key. After saving the wifi led does not light up at all and after some time the globe goes dark.
I put up a personal hotspot on my iPhone and connect to that => the Flukso works fine.
I did an upgrade from 247 to 250 trough my phone, but still no connection possible with Telenet.
Included are the wifi settings from the Telenet modem

Thanks in advance,

Martin

I had the same issue with a new router; IMHO this is a bug and I reported this quite a while ago in https://github.com/flukso/flm02/issues/8 (the FLM detects the encryption correctly, but in consequence sets a parameter wrongly)
To mitigate the error you have to alter the configuration on FLM itself via ssh

  1. uci show wireless.@wifi-interface[0].encryption
  2.  
  3. uci set wireless.@wifi-interface[0].encryption="psk2+tkip+ccmp"
  4.  
  5. uci commit
  6.  
  7. sudo reboot

"reboot" is always good (Dogbert's tech advice) :-)

Thanks for answering!
I am not familiar wit SSH, but i looked up what to do.
With the terminal program on my mac i did the following: See below.
No result yet.. can it be possible that some commands were not recognized?
Here is a copy of my terminal session:

BusyBox v1.19.4 (2015-07-17 13:51:16 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

You were very close - if you look in more detail at the parameters from your log, the parameter in question is

  1. wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk-mixed

You can check to set it to
  1. wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk2+tkip+ccmp

Then actually no reboot is necessary (it does not harm), a /etc/init.d/network restart should be sufficient.

Please note that you posted your WiFi key wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key=tieke******e, so better change it :-/

The source code in question of the FLM can be found at /www/scripts/controllers/wifi.js; thus, if the encryption is still not correct, you have to debug this to get an understanding what your router requests. You may do so in the browser on the WiFi-tab of the FLM-UI by starting the debug mode from the context menu (right click) and set a break point at the respective routine.

I think i have success now!
It is back on line.
Thank you!
Are the changes stored permanently now?
Maybe i'll do an unplug tomorrow for testing.
Greetings
Martin

Here is how it went:

root@flukso-a441b1:~# uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk2+tkip+ccmp
root@flukso-a441b1:~# /etc/init.d/network restart
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
root@flukso-a441b1:~#

It's permanent until the next Firmware Upgrade; hopefully icarus75 adapts... best regards, Markus

I'll investigate this bug in the coming days and commit a fix to the flm-ui repo.

@bart

my flukso had been out of service for quite a while and today i found some energy to give it a new try to sort out the issue. after some frustration with resets, waiting, more resets, more waiting i finally stumbled upon the above post and with the below instructions (it's a bit different than the original post, the interface name was somewhat different), the wifi is connected ! yay :)

i have one of those 'modern' telenet modem/routers/gateways at home that are fully managed from the cloud :) - something you don't always prefer as a geek but in this case it seems telenet doesn't give you anny choice anymore.

anyhow, probably worth looking into, i can't be the only one :)
