[arm-allstar] WiFi Portable repeater Controller (Ron WA2WWK)

[Lawrence Roney]

Ron,

I have had problems with Wi-Fi SSID names that include special characters and punctuation.   Try changing the name of your iPhone under Settings, About, Name.  Make sure the name does not have an apostrophe.  Try it with just a single word (example: RonPhone) turn the phone hotspot feature off/on and see if the Pi connects.

73,

Good morning everyone.  I've been running a Pi wirelessly repeater controller with my iPhone.  Recently the Pi doesn't recognize the phone?  I use the same phone with another node and all works well.  The repeater controller recognizes other WiFi networks but can't find my phone?  I have cleared the wireless file and manually  entered but this also won't work.
All other functions of the Pi controller seem to be working fine.  Anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks.  Ron
