Please little help here
How to make it work
It works for a few seconds and falls
And on the way drops with it other things
Why Some services stop working intermittently
-
one more try
anybody -
It may help if you stated which hotspot you are running on your cell phone?
-
There is only one option
Activation of an hotspot
And this is it
The rest of this option
What is the name of the hot spot
And passwordThe Cell Phone is Samsung Galaxy 3
-
You need to be running a hotspot on your Samsung Galaxy 3 for pfsense to connect to. Are you?
-
Yes
I do itAs I wrote it work
But without successThis Disconnect after a few seconds
And some processes stop working intermittently -
As a test, are you able to connect to the hotspot on your phone with a notebook or some other method successfully?
Does your carrier allow you to run a hotspot on your phone?
-
Yes I can connect to the phone with a laptop
And the operator does not have any problem with it
-
As a test, what happens if you assign your wireless to WAN interface?
Do you see the phone SSID in Status, Wireless?
What is displayed in Status, Interfaces?

As a test, what happens if you assign your wireless to WAN interface?
The ip I get from the mobile is 192.168.43.11
pfsense has two lan
192.168.0.1 the dhcp handing out addresses from 1 to 99
192.168.2.1 the dhcp handing out addresses from 1 to 99Occasionally it works
And connects for a few secondsBut when it happens
These services stop working off and on
apinger
dhcpd
dnsmasq
ntpd
squid
avahiIn addition I see the ip of the phone in the list of the Gateways
and it "on line"Do you see the phone SSID in Status, Wireless?
yes
What is displayed in Status, Interfaces?
Status up
ssid = the name of the phone
Channel 12 -
So the results are the same whether the wireless is assigned to WAN or WAN2?
-
I did not notice you asked to connect the wan 1
wan one is wired network card
There are no options that there is in wan2
I have attached two pictures of the interface wan1
And interface wan2
-
As a test, assign the wireless to WAN1 using Interfaces (assign) menu. Switch network port for WAN1 and WAN2 and save. Configure wireless for WAN1 using Interfaces, WAN1 menu. It may be helpful to power off/on the machine before re-configuration of wireless to ensure a fresh start.

It does not work at all
Now for some reason
I went into the settings of wan 2
I do not have an option to save
I keep getting a messageYou have to reassign the interface to be able to configure as dhcp.You have to reassign the interface to be able to configure as none.I tried to do it as well as you said
I changed the interfaces
But it did not matter
I get the same messageI tried it on version 2.0.3
Since then I upgraded the version
And not I dealt with it
I do not have smartphone
Now I have a smartphone for a few days
So I am tryingCan be the current version 2.1.3
It is impossible ? -
All I'm trying
You can not save
I get the error messageYou have to reassign the interface to be able to configure as dhcp.You have to reassign the interface to be able to configure as none.
