Orange Pi Zero 3 WiFi Access Point Broken using Ubuntu Image

Problem

I created a Bridge Access Point using Orange Pi Zero 3 with the Ubuntu OS. However, after going through a fairly lengthy configuration, there is an issue when trying to connect to my Orange Pi Zero 3 Access Point.

The problem is: it gets stuck at 'authenticate,' and there is no pop-up to enter the password on my smartphone.

Question

I have used this configuration on Orange Pi Zero 2, and it worked successfully. There are around 100 devices running in production using this setup. However, when I tried to apply the same configuration to Orange Pi Zero 3, it failed, and I haven't found many forums discussing it yet. Could it be because Orange Pi Zero 3 is still relatively new?

How can I resolve this issue? I've heard there are quite a few bugs in the Ubuntu OS for Orange Pi Zero 3.

try a channel between 1 to 14 in hostapd.conf

I tend to find that hostapd needs a bridge to work, but that I'm not sure about it, e.g. if it works for you without adding a bridge clause in hostapd.conf can you post a feedback?

It's not work. But, if i user 'orangepi-config' to setting AP, it's worked.

A few months ago, on a whim after a particularly tough week at work, I decided to explore the world of online gambling. I stumbled upon a platform boasting a vast array of slot games and a tempting sign-up https://1xslotcassino.com/ bonus. Feeling adventurous, I registered and deposited a modest amount, eager to test my luck. The interface was vibrant and user-friendly, and I was soon captivated by the variety of slots available, from classic fruit machines to high-definition video slots with elaborate themes.

My excitement, however, quickly turned into frustration. Initially, the wins were frequent and small, but as I continued playing, the wins became rarer, and the losses began to stack up. It was easy to get caught up in the flashy graphics and sound effects, losing track of time and money. My attempts to chase after the elusive big win only led to deeper losses. This experience served as a powerful lesson in the dangers of getting swept up in the spectacle of online slots. I learned the hard way that while the games can be incredibly entertaining, it's crucial to set a budget and stick to it to avoid falling into the trap of compulsive gambling.

Confirm that the WiFi module on the Orange Pi Zero 3 Worldle is compatible with the Ubuntu image you're using. Some Ubuntu versions may lack drivers for certain WiFi chipsets.
