I spend 250-300 nights each year in hotels which only have "Enterprise WiFi" (i.e., WiFi where you need to enter your Room Number or check a box before you can access the Internet). I have successfully used RPI, BPI and OPI boards with onboard WiFI or USB WiFi in a number of locations - with no configuration of the OS parameters needed. When the OS boots and I open a browser, I can access the Enterprise "login" screen and enter the credentials.
I just purchased a NanoPI M1 Plus, which came with antenna, which I installed. I installed Debian from your Downloads and board boots properly. However, I do not seem to get the board to receive any RF for the WiFi--no signals are shown. All of my other single board computers work properly in this hardware setup in this hotel room. (Connected with 5V, 3000mA power supply)
Is it necessary to configure Linux to allow the radio to work at all? I understand if the desire is for autoWiFi to a personal secure router, but I am not even at the point of being able to do handshaking to the router.
I am very interested in evaluation of this board for recommendation to a Linux User Group, but at this point I can do nothing.
I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could offer me some suggestions for getting the WiFi radio to sense an RF signal (which is quite strong).
Thanks!
Larry
