Hi,
Yesterday my Mark I arrived. The device looks and feels really nice. But I had problems with setting up the Wifi. My SSID simply did not show up in the Wifi selection dialog. So i took my first steps with a LAN connection. I tried several things (manually adding my Wifi configuration in “/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" via SSH connection) but this did not help either.
Eventually I have checked my Wifi-router configuration. In EU/Germany there are channels 12/13 allowed for 2.4GHz Wifi (but it is not allowed in the US&Canada as far as I know). After disabling usage of channels 12/13 in my Wifi-router my SSID showed up in Mycrofts setup.
Is it possible to enable channels 12/13 in Mark I for the international market?
Hey @Dominik thank you so much for listing this bug report - appreciated.
We haven’t seen this particular issue before, but we have seen issues with wpa_supplicant connecting to SSIDs with non-Latin characters in the SSID name.
I’ll test this one out here by putting my SSID on Channel 12 or 13.
Again, really appreciate you logging this issue.
So @Dominik I can confirm you have identified a very nasty little bug!
I have confirmed this by doing the following:
- Starting state: My 2.4 GHz wireless SSID is set by default to Auto, which defaults to channel 1. Mark 1 units all happy and responding OK.
- Change wireless SSID to channel 12 manually -> both Mark 1s complain they cannot connect to internet, but all other internet services I have are working.
- Change wireless SSID to channel Auto -> defaults to 1 -> both Mark 1s come back online
- Change wireless SSID to channel 13 manually -> both Mark 1s complain they cannot connect to internet, but all other internet services I have are working.
- Change wireless SSID to channel Auto -> defaults to 1 -> both Mark 1s come back online
This is the syslog excerpt concerning wpa_supplicant - althought it doesn’t reference the channels themselves.

I’m going to write this up as an Issue.
An issue has now been logged for this, and the documentation for both Mark 1 and Picroft has been updated.
