Deprecated FON Boards !

Greetings everyone,

I upgraded to 0.6.6 and now the wireless doesn's let me in. It hangs at connected to login.fon.com.

With the cable it works, I can connect to the box, I changed nothing, I did upgrade my settings in the new user pages and gave it a password (which only worked when giving it something different from the real root password, but never mind that.

What should I test, what should I do?

Thanks.

Oliver

Upgrade once more to 0.6.6 with the option Erase JFFS2 partition marked. Erasing JFFS2 partition will delete current configuration, which may be incompatible with the new firmware in your case.
Afterwards you will have to reconfigure your router.

Greetings.

Did that, but it didn't throw out my old configuration. It said it deleted linux (maybe keeping the /etc/ dir) and then restarted. my pppoe settings where still there. The connection when using the cable still works (posting over it now), but the wifi still does not go anywhere.

It says it it 0.6.6. It does give out similar IP Addresses as before (.182.2).

Very strange.


Oliver

Then try a hardware reset. Push down the reset button on your router for 10 seconds.

i have the same problem

Have you tried a hardware reset?

yes, but the problem persist

Then I would suggest to flash a competely different firmware to your router (maybe the original Linksys one) and afterwards reflash FON firmware. That should definitely delete whatever is wrong in the JFFS2-partition.

i try but the problem persist
I have 2 computer.
One is conected to the fon router using an utp cable (internet work fine on that computer)
The other is wifi internet doesnt work (cant conect to login.fon.com )
At the fon web i have this

But my router is conected to internet :S
Thanks
sorry for my english

Did that, the settings remained in there. I was still connected via the cable, but the message that came up was:


Why am I seeing this Management Console instead of the FON HotSpot Access Portal?

It looks like your FON HotSpot was not able to configure itself to your home network settings. This can be due to many different reasons:

# Scenario 1:

The FON HotSpot was on long before you connected the network cable. It is very important that the network is connected before turning on the FON HotSpot. Otherwise the internal auto-configuration process may fail.

Solution:
Try to unplug the power cable and then plug it back in. Everything should be working in about 1 minute

# Scenario 2:

One of the network cables is not properly connected.

Solution:
Please, make sure that your FON HotSpot is connected as shown in the installation manual provided with your router (step 1). Once everything is connected properly, it should be working fine in about 1 or 2 minutes

# Scenario 3:

Your Internet connection is temporally not working and the FON HotSpot could not auto-configure its settings.

Solution:
Try your usual way of connecting to Internet and if it fails, please contact your ISP.

# Scenario 4:

Your home network requires some manual configuration for the FON HotSpot to work. It means FON HotSpot is unable to automatically detect your network settings.

Your network has been manually set at any moment in the past. This is why FON Hotspot is unable to detect its configuration. If you are not aware of having done any of these changes or are not used to configuring networks, please contact our customer support service on support@fon.com

Solution:
You need to find out a valid IP address which is not being used by any other computer in your network and configure manually your FON Hotspot.

To do so, please check step by step the Installation Troubleshooting Reference Manual.

If you were already aware you are using static IP configuration or PPPoE and you know how this works, please click on the "I want to configure my network now" link below and you will be redirected to the FON HotSpot Internet connection configuration web page (WAN configuration). You will then be required for a username and password. Use the defaults unless you change them anytime in the past:
Username: admin
Password: admin
This password is not related to your FON username or accounts, it is just a security password to prevent unwanted users to missconfigure your FON HotSpot.


The only one that might apply is Scenario 4, as the other 3 fall out because I do have network via the cable. 4 actually should fall out too because the thing did work before. The PPPoE settings should be correct.

The router has a fixed IP of 192.168.10.1 and a Netmask of 255.255.255.0. A default gateway was not set, but never was and shouldn't because he should get that via the DSL Modem. I gave him a DNS server that I know works from the outside but.

Here is what happened:


lan_dns=" 62.96.228.24"
Committing NVRAM ...
Reloading networking settings ...
ERROR: chillispot is not running
chillispot[6924]: chilli.c: 380: Could not resolve IP address of uamserver: https://login.fon.com/2a7e342e2ed0068b3 ... /index.php!


I can log on the shell if you want and try to find out there what is going wrong or give you some additional settings. The weird thing is also that the browser does not say "Looking up..." but "Connected to login.fon.com" not even "connecting to..."

All very weird.[/i]

Do you have internet access (through Ethernet) at all?

Which provider to do you acutally use?

I have ADSL (the provider name is UOL Sinectis from Argentina)
The conection tipe is PPPoE

Okay, but can you acutally open webpages, when you're connected by Ethernet cable to your FON router?

yes whit the PC conected whith ethernet i can open webpages. Whit the wifi not (freeze when try to enter lo login.fon.com

And your PC is connected through ethernet to the FON router, right? Can you open http://es.fon.com/ and login there?

The collegue and I do actually seem to have a similar problem.

Yes, I am connected from the FON Linksys Router to the ADSL Modem of a small regional german provider. When I attach the the laptop to the linksys via cable, everything works fine. This means that I do have a network connection and the system dials in. Everything there is fine.

The problem seems to be with the route from Wifi to the net. It hangs at login.fon.com when I unplug the cable (restart the wifi, get a new dhcp lease, whatever, just to be sure it gets that the wifi is there) then it stops via Wifi. I think, but I can't try that now because I am not at home, that I could go to http://thylmann.net which I then set as my free url.

It's just that it doesn't authenticate. It somehow doesn't reach the login.fon.com. I can still try to go to login.fon.com as to whether the provider has blocked the url. but I highly doubt that.

Oliver

And yes, just if this wasn't clear in the previous post. I have full network access when I use the cable to the linksys. The VPN is connected to our development servers, I can open web pages, get my mail via IMAP, Skype is online, ...

Oliver

Oh, and my log does not show that there has ever been anyone connected to my hotspot (since the upgrade). So it must break before a connection is established.

I exactly have the same problem that olivert

Another thing, and I presume it's the same with natacho. The top right does say 0.6.6. So the upgrade seems to have happened.

As said, I can gladly go in via SSH and look through everything there if you can tell me what your first guess would be. I'd say it's the routes.

Might it be that in relation to the remote management you need some NAT Configuration active for port forwarding? I doubt that the cable modem does something of the sort and I don't know of any firewall that sits before my modem, but it might be an idea why I can reach login.fon.com but nothing comes back.
