iPad/iPhone unable to join Glambot® wifi network / wifi network error message

Updated over 2 months ago

Some IOS devices and IOS software updates have been known to cause Wi-Fi connection issues. If possible, try connecting with an android device. If no android device is available, try with a different iPad or iPhone to see if the issue is present on all devices.

If your IOS device is not connecting to the Glambot® wifi network or is providing an error message (e.g. this network is operating on Wi-Fi channels in use by several other nearby networks), there are a few likely causes:

  1. The date and time may be incorrect. Navigate to your device [Settings] - [General] - [Date & Time] and turn on [Set Automatically]. If this is already on, try turning it off, manually changing the date to a random day/time, then turning automatic back on to reset to the correct date & time.

  2. In the network connection settings, turn OFF [Private Wi-Fi Address]

  3. Turn OFF [Limit IP Address Tracking]

  4. Turn the Wi-Fi off and back on again

  5. The Glambot® PC firewall may be blocking the connection: To check if the firewall is enabled, you will need to access the Glambot® PC terminal by connecting a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Then, follow the instructions below:

    1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal window.

    2. In the terminal type the following command and press Enter: Sudo UFW Status

    3. If it is currently active, type the following command and press Enter: Sudo UFW Disable

    4. Confirm that it is now Inactive. In the terminal type the following command and press Enter: Sudo UFW Status

    5. Restart the Glambot®

  6. Least Likely: The wpa supplicant needs to be downgraded. To check the current supplicant version, you will need to access the Glambot® PC terminal by connecting a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Then, follow the instructions below:

    1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal window.

    2. Check the Current WPA Supplicant Version: In the terminal type the following command and press Enter: wpa_supplicant –v

    3. If the current version of the supplicant is 2.10 it needs to be downgraded

    4. Follow the instructions in the PDF attached
