Hi Folks,
I'm very sketchy on wireless so was cobbling together a script to do the few things I need to be done. This because the rpiZW attached to the serial ports of my hypervisors have been getting knocked off the network.
..ie "sudo nmcli dev wifi list --rescan yes", the 'svr-nmcli' script (less than an hour old) is..What on earth is "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7"?
I'm "eek" and "int". Physically "eek" is upstairs. I've just installed "int" in the cellar next to the two rpiZW. Vertically both (tplink) wireless are in the same plane separated only by the ground floor. I figure "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7" must be real close and I'm unable to discover anything about that MAC using online tools.
It's vanished now. I did notice while I was reconnecting the rpiZW from "eek" to "int" something purporting to be a samsung galaxy device (yesterday, too busy to log that) sat between "eek" and "int" on signal strength as is "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7". Terraced houses btw and also a lot of transient traffic parking.
I'm hoping not to see any problems now "int" is there. Next few days will tell. On the off-chance I'm forced to look dig deeper can anyone recommend a capable usb wifi dongle for a desktop linux PC?
