I have come across a peculiar issue when using the above.
Here is my set-up:
Rpi3/Dvap (uhf)/DStarCommander v2.1/iPhone v10.2.1/ID51E+
I have the wi-fi configured as 1=iPhone, 2=Home Wi-Fi, 3=OPEN. Config is set to try No. 1 first.
I switch on the personal hotspot (called G4MHJ) on the iPhone, then switch on the Rpi3 set-up. It never finds the iPhone hotspot and proceeds as it should do to my home wi-fi here at home. If I am away from home nothing connects.
I have however, discovered a work around that always works but it is annoying to have to do this.
I set up the iPhone personal hotspot and do a trial connect with either my iPad Air 2 or an older iPod Touch. The iPhone shows I am using one connection and when I switch on the Rpi3 it shows 2 connections and the system works great. Surely I shouldn't have to go through this procedure..
Am I doing something wrong?
