What DNS servers have you put in your DHCP server? It is probably best to just put the ClearOS LAN IP for the interface.

wierd.. but its worked after putting a open DNS , now is the same problem with the wireless and the WPA that is one and I cant connect from phones/mac.. only from windows.. do you have any clue how to resolve this problem?
Thanks A lot!!!

What DNS Servers have you used in Network > Settings > IP Settings? When lookups fail always try something like OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) or GoogleDNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

From the console try pinging them.

When you changed ISP, did they change the router, so did you change your external IP setting? Is ClearOS directly connected to the internet or via some other upstream device?

Hi Nick,
they changed the internet in the office and i cant get even internet by LAN.. hehe, its always telling me that "DNS look up Failed",
i have the DNS ip and i put it in "DNS servers",
there is somthing to do with this?

thanks! ill give it a try!

I've fixed my non-working server. Don't ask.

I've pushed an update to app-wireless-ap into contribs-testing. You can update to it with:

yum update app-wireless-ap --enablerepo=clearos-contribs-testing

It should install version 1.1.2. If it does not, please wait an hour and try again as the repos sync.

There are some issues. Channel selection is only 1-9 and fails the program fails (for me) if you set it to automatic. Changing WPA does nothing. It is also not good at reading back in all current selections.

You should be able to make the changes you want through the Webconfig and install any extra services you require from the Marketplace.

The developer has found an issue and has said he has an update, but I think he has forgotten to push the change into Gitlab. I am chasing.

Can you paste the contents of your /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlp4s0.conf between code tags? My own issue may be device specific as I have one system where I can connect to the AP and another system where I can't and always get invalid password.

What are you planning on doing when you want to upgrade from Community? Are you intending to go to Home or Business?

Nick, Sorry for the late reply,
its worked for me fine for 2 days,
"/etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlp4s0.conf"
this is what i got in the hostpd.. do you have any clue what could i do?
also another question , if im upgrading from commuinty edition, there will be a easiest option?
Thanks!

I can't even get mine to connect at the moment. What is the contents of your /etc/hostapd/hostapd-w??????.conf?

Unfortunately this is a third part app so is not one tht we have written,

Thanks, thats work for me..
there maybe a bug when i chnage the WPA to use "WPA 2"
becouse my phone asking me for username and password.. and not the wifi password..
there is any solution for this?
Thanks.

Configure it the same as you would a normal Ethernet LAN, but it must have a different subnet to your main LAN and this can cause a few issues. The main one I know of is that Unicast/multicast traffic does not go between different subnets. This can affect network printers which have a printer discovery app in Windows.

You will also need to configure the wireless app with your SSID and so on.

If having your LAN NIC's is an issue, you need to bridge your wireless and wired NIC's together. This can be done by creating a bridge interface through the webconfig giving it a LAN subnet and enabling its DHCP server. Then you have to delete the NIC you are not connected to and add it to the bridge (make it a Bridge Child). Then connect yourself to the other LAN and repeat.

Thanks again Nick..
now i have "Wireless" on the network interfaces..
but i dont have any "Role" of wireless or somthing like this the roles are same like Ethrnet..
what i need to do more to get this works?
Thanks.

I have a set of speakers just like that .......

For basics, if you use Windows, install PuTTy for a remote terminal and WinSCP for a graphical file manager and test editor. In PuTTy you can copy text to the clipboard just by selecting it. You can also paste into it by right-clicking.

Start off by installing the apps I mentioned above, but I got a command wrong (I'll edit it):

yum update app-network --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing

If the wireless NIC does not show up in the interfaces, it may not be being detected. In that case can you give the output to:

lspci -knn

perhaps cutting it down to the section belonging to the wireless NIC.

Hey nick , thank for the quick answere..
i am newbie on ClearOS, so i didnt understand well ..
i have a box that i installed on ClearOS with NIC ...(please see the picture attachment).
i still need to install stuff? what is the best option to make it as gateway to my office members..
thanks alot!

To act as a router you need to have 2 NIC's and ClearOS needs to be in gateway mode. The ClearOS External and LAN subnets must be separate, both physically and by IP range.

Wireless support is generally not recommended as a server is often not in a good location for a wireless NIC in it to give good a WiFi signal in your home or office. A better option generally is to use a router as a WAP with the ClearOS LAN connected to the router LAN. In this mode you aso have to disable the router/WAP DHCP server and give it an IP in the ClearOS LAN subnet.

However, if you want it (and it is still under a bit of development), please install the development version of app-network:

yum update app-network --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing

Also install the development version of app-wireless-ap:

wget https://www.howitts.co.uk/clearos/ClearOS_7.x/app-wireless-ap-core-1.1.0-1.devel.noarch.rpm

wget https://www.howitts.co.uk/clearos/ClearOS_7.x/app-wireless-ap-1.1.0-1.devel.noarch.rpm

yum install app-wireless-ap*

Do not install the version in contribs testing.

To my knowledge there is a bug in this version where it only supports channels 1-9, and a couple of the fields have messed up naming.
