I have ubuntu 17.10 server edition installed to act as a router. Everything works just fine. The only problem I'm having is with setting up the wireless part of the router. I can see the AP on my client computers and mobile devices, but I can't authenticate. Clients keep saying there is an authentication problem.



When I don't set a password for the AP everything works just fine but then ofcourse my AP has no encryption, which I don't want. My devices get an IP and can access the LAN and WAN. I have configured the network using netplan.



This is my netplan config file



 network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
#wan interface
ens17:
dhcp4: no
dhcp6: yes
addresses: [192.168.1.2/24]
gateway4: 192.168.1.1
nameservers:
addresses: [195.130.130.3,195.130.131.3]
#lan interface
ens18:
dhcp4: no
dhcp6: no
addresses: [192.168.0.1/24]
#interface for wifi bridge
ens19:
dhcp4: true

wifis:
#wifi-lan interface
wls16:
access-points:
"Valhalla":
mode: ap
password: "ImTestingThis"

bridges:
#virtual bridge for wifi-ethernet connection
br0:
interfaces: [wls16, ens19]
dhcp4: true


Here's a screenshot of the AP showing up and that I'm using the correct password ;)



Message saying it can't connect to the network



Hope someone can help me out.

  • After you run netplan apply can you see anything interesting in /var/log/syslog?

  • Please file a bug on Launchpad; and add the configuration generated by netplan (you can find it in /run/NetworkManager/system-connections). This may be a bug in the way we generate the configuration. You can use the 'ubuntu-bug network-manager' command to make the bug reporting easy.
