[arm-allstar] SHARI node stopped connecting with new router and ISP

[Patrick Perdue]

Greetings from another blind SHARI user:

Silly question, but is this SHARI connecting via WiFi?

Of course, the change of router would most likely mean a new SSID and/or 
passphrase, which would break the existing connectivity as defined in 
wpa_supplicant.

Does the node have a local IP address?

If the node has an IP address, does it show up as online on the 
Allstarlink status page?

Remember that you don't need incoming UDP 4569 forwarded to make 
outbound connections. Otherwise, you'd never be able to use a node on 
carrier-grade NAT without a VPN, so I'd start with making sure the node 
is actually connected to the network.

If it is, check it's registration status with check_reg.sh from bash, if 
you (or he) has access to that.
