Hello! I'm working on getting RatOS up and running. I just flashed it to my SD card using Balena. I've connected to the RatOS wifi and am attempting to set up RatOS to connect to my home wifi. I believe the issue is in my mesh system. I have 4 TP Link Decos around my house. RatOS is givng me many options to choose from (much more than 4) on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I've tried it a few times and it's obviously being rejected somehow because it's rebooting and restarting the RatOS wifi network. Any else having issues with mesh networking or found a solution?
I can't do a hardwired connection in the place where the printer is going or I would.
Thank you ahead of time!
Solution
Got the solution. If you're having issues with mesh wifi, this might work for you. Note: I'm working with TP-Link Deco X20s.
Step 1: Flash RatOS per https://os.ratrig.com/docs/installation/#setting-up-your-printer Step 2: Plug into Ethernet. Step 3: ssh into RatOS. Use Terminal (command prompt). ssh pi@ratos.local. It'll prompt you for a password. It's raspberry. Step 4: Run this command to edit the wpa supplicant file (controls the wifi networks): sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. Step 5: Scroll down to the WPA/WPA2 (or whatever section is relevant to you) and uncomment the section by removing the # on each line. Add in your network details. It should look something like this: network={ ssid="network_name" psk="password" } Step 6: Reboot using sudo reboot. Unplug the ethernet while it's rebooting. Step 7: Wait a couple minutes for it to boot. Check to see if it's connecting via wifi by running the ssh command again or going to ratos.local in your browser.
