Hi,

When I try and activate WIFI in AP mode on the Carambola2 the device reboots as per below:

My /etc/config/wireless looks as follows:

config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network lan
option mode ap
option ssid Carambola2
option encryption none

In client mode WIFI does work. I am running v2.5 I downloaded from the 8devices website.

Are you using demo board ? Carambola module only ?

Hi,

I am using the Carambola2 with the demo / development board. I actually tried this on 2 different Carambola2 with 2 different demo / development boards with the same result.

Thanks FPeter. When I power the development board from a Samsung charger with a good grade USB cable I am able to turn WIFI on in AP mode.
