| Jun 26, 2019 at 4:52 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, Ah yes, I followed the instructions and download everything, including the JSON config file. I think my problem is that I don't know where are the "paths". I guess this is no problem for regular linux guys, because they know all the defaults. A newbie like me, needs to do some searching first. Any way, I found the "docker" thing interesting. But as I said, I am preparing for upgrading all my projects from Pi3 to Pi4, so I think it is god time for me to stall this IoT Wifi experiment now, and come back later, when I know more basic stuff. Good Luck and Cheers. | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 17:47 | comment | added | user105104 | @tlfong01, did you download the json config file? I didn't encounter this error before so I cant help you :/ | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 13:36 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, Now I am following the cjimti instructions to "Run The IOT Wifi Docker Container", using the following command: "$ docker run --rm --privileged --net host \ -v $(pwd)/wificfg.json:/cfg/wificfg.json \ cjimti/iotwifi" Now I have a problem. I don't know the "<HOST_PATH>" and <CONTAINER_PATH>. Do you have any "paths" for me to copy and paste? | |

| Jun 25, 2019 at 4:58 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, I found the following post by #ingo Access point as WiFi router/repeater, optional with bridge raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/89803/… It is a bit over whelming for a newbie like me. Do you think it is OK for newbie to start learning, or if it is good for your project? | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 3:16 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, already ordered 2 Pi4's (Argon40). hope to get toys soon (they say “in stock”)). I still need more time to learn WiFi, clarifying things, like repeater, bridge, IOT WiFi, JON config files. I have little idea of the project you are doing - Station + AP, and using API. BTW, are you going to use the CJ's API to build a website of IOT Wifii config? All these seem a bit scary to a newbie like me. So don't expect me to make any progress soon. Cheers. | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 16:04 | comment | added | Ingo | Possible duplicate of Access point as WiFi router/repeater, optional with bridge or Access point as WiFi router/repeater with additional WiFi-dongle. | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 13:59 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, I am glad to hear that you found the problem with the second WiFi dongle, and that your found traffic routed OK. So as you said, there are still two problems, (1) no internet access, (2) DNS problem. The WiFi newbie, ie, me, is going very slowly, and need a long while to catch up. As I said, Rpi4 is coming out. So I might take a break and see if I should switch this IOT Wifi station/AP config API project to Rpi4. | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 12:25 | comment | added | user105104 | @Ingo Yeah thats what I meant. Although I've discarded that idea because it turns out the external dongle I had was malfunctioning and I resorted to using the IoT-WiFi docker. Apologies for the confusion. | |

| Jun 24, 2019 at 12:23 | comment | added | user105104 | I found this link that seems to fix the routing problem I had (no internet on use device thats connected to AP) There is still a DNS problem in the docker though and I'm still not getting internet but at least the traffic is being routed properly stackoverflow.com/questions/44177580/… | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 9:57 | comment | added | tlfong01 | Little Birds just told me that Rpi4 is out. So I will stall my IOT WiFi project for a while. (new features = dual display, 4K support, USB 3.0, real gigabit ethernet, Bluetooth 5.0 and more, ...) | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 9:44 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, I have completed a rush course in things related to the project (Docker, Go etc). I need to refresh my memory on WiFi station, AP, and IOT, then I should have confidence to try to start reproducing your setup, perhaps tomorrow. | |

| Jun 24, 2019 at 0:15 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @Zeyad Tarek, I see, so your two network card is a side problem. Your main problem in on the AP part, everything else is OK as the IMTI instructions say. So problem is not yet solved. In this case, I am not going to close the file, but do some study on the newbie scary "Docker" thing (might take a long while! :)", then come back to reproduce you experiment (except not using NOOBS to start with. | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 19:29 | comment | added | Ingo | What do you mean with "dual network card" to be used with a Raspberry Pi 3? It has a built-in wifi chip and for a second wifi interface you need an USB/wifi dongle. Is it this what you mean?. You can comment your own question. Please address me with @Ingo, otherwise I won't see your reply. | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 14:04 | comment | added | Zeyad Tarek | @tlfong01, yeah the comments seem to be removed. I don't mind using only one WiFi card. My main problem is that I am not getting internet access on any device I cannot with to the raspberry pi | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 13:53 | comment | added | tlfong01 | There seems some confusion. I thought I saw your answer but no longer found it. You seemed to have mentioned two network cards and I commented, but all disappeared. Anyway, I tried again. I do sometimes use two "network cards". Actually one is the wift controller built into Rpi3. Another card is actually a USB wifi dongle inserted into the Rpi's USB socket. If I remember correctly, Raspbian will automatically switch to the USB wifi dongle. In other words, you CANNOT use two "network cards" (one built in, the other USB Wifi dongle) at the same time. But I am still a newbiei, so not sure. | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 9:14 | comment | added | tlfong01 | @user105104, I browsed IMIT's documents and found them very impressive. I have no experience in the Docker thing. I am going to learn it, and only afterwards I can be confident to try to reproduce your situation. There are other things you may like to let us know, say what is your stretch version? wifi card spec? | |

| Jun 23, 2019 at 8:50 | comment | added | Milliways | Any question which boils down to "I followed a tutorial and it doesn't work" means either you didn't follow the tutorial or it doesn't work. | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 8:46 | comment | added | tlfong01 | Ah, let me see. So you have followed the IMTI's instructions and find everything OK (using only one wifi card). The problem arises only when you start using 2 separate wifi cards. I have two questions: (1) Does IMIT allow you to use 2 wifi cards? (2) If IMIT does not say if two cards are allowed. Did you make any changes to the IMTI's instructions to cater for two cards? | |
