Set a fixed WiFi connection for the Nordic OTBR

[rodruizronald]

Hi,

I am trying to set a fixed WiFi connection in the "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf " file, but it gets lost on every reboot. I assume it is because of the Access Point feature. Could you please tell me what I have to do to disable it and leave my connection unchanged.

Thank you

So does this mean that you managed to both disable the BorderRouter-AP and connect to the enterprise network automatically on startup?

[rodruizronald]

Well, not exactly. Once the board has been powered up, I run manually

$ nmcli connection down BorderRouter-AP

to disable the BorderRouter-AP and then the Nordic OTBR connects to the enterprise network automatically.

I found that it is possible to remove the BorderRouter-AP instead of just shutting it down by executing

$ nmcli connection delete BorderRouter-AP

but I decided not to do it and just disabling it on startup because at some point I may need the access point.

Did you try

$ sudo systemctl disable ap-config.service

?

In that case, it didn't start up on reboot. You can enable it later if you like using:

$ sudo systemctl enable ap-config.service

BR,

Yeah, it works know.

Thank you very much Edvin.
