Did you follow the tutorial in the router DNS configuration ? What does the diag says ? By the way GE seems not anymore an active service ...

When I added the AP with the client connected to the home SSID, the AP was present. As soon as I modified the client SSID to match the CAR one, the AP was not shown. When in the car, client correctly connected and the AP started to be visible. Yes, probably if both AP and client share the same channel, AP might work even without the client connected.... to be tested but in "Auto" way I am sure the car connects. MMI AP still allows connection but no way to ping google... firewall in the car is most probable responsible. The back-up is on another PC but I will PM it as soon as I can.

Just a short update and fina fix of my issue. I updated ROOter FW to the latest. Starting with a fresh install I followed you seggestion but as soon as I created the client with an hotspot, the AP disappeared. This is in line with my previous thought ... the client and the AP share the same radio 0 and therefore the client has a priority in choosing the signal channel etc... After that I modified the client SSID to match the one of the car and created the new AP. The new AP is available only when the client is connected otherwise to AP. The ROOter tutorial therefore is perfectly working and tested for few hours in the car :)

Yes. I realized it from your post above ;). I will try.

WOW. good idea, I did not thing about this. I have already posted in the ROOTer forum other questions and I'm waiting answers before to ask again :) For the moment thank you very much I will apply for this job in the new year and will be back to document the fix (if fixed :))

Yes frankiegom, this is quite easy. Now I have RNS850 that get internet access from router TL-MR3020 in client mode (GE is working well etc...). The problem is that if I try to connect my mobile to the AP of RNS850 I do not have access to internet (probably there is an firewall blocking and I do not know how to bypass it). I thought that an easier way might be to open a AP on the router side so that my mobile can connect to that AP and have free access to internet. The problem is that after having configured the AP on the router side, this is not visible (no SSID). I am doing all the tests at home without having MR3020 client connected to RNS850 so I am not sure that the AP should show anyhow (radio 0 is reserved and shared with the client connected to the car). I hope I have been clear otherwise ask me :)

I have the 2016 version. I remeber one user that managed to do that but I cannot find anymor the topic. It was linked to the ROOter old site version. Now not anymore visible.

Hello guys, I tried to open an AP on my TL-MR3020 and I followed the tutorial on the ROOter site: http://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/guestwifi.html Unfortunately, the wifi SSID is not appearing in the list of available SSID. I tried in all the possible ways but I did not manage. May be this is something related to the paricular configuration of our use . I remember someone managed to do this on this forum but I could not find anymore the instruction.

Thank you. i will :)

Thanks for the reply. I have seen the forum but I do not have mean to get log because I have not so much time to attach my PC to the router in the car. i will make a try of the latest release to see if by chance it solves the issue. One question may be is Worth: I have seen that Fw upgrade shall be done without maintaining settings. can we reload settings from a back-up or I have to reconfigure the router from scratch ?

A new release has been adedd on the download site. Do someone know what are the changes ? I have the issue that if I switch on the router in an area where there are no data, the modem never connects even when data are available. I need to plug/uplug the USB modem to get modem connection.

Excellent. Happy you are again with GE. You also should have Street View if you have SIM module.

Yes. I was exactly thinking about this. You can try to reinstall only the GE module from K0821 FW. This can be done in manual mode and selecting only the GE module.

ON RNS850 (VW Touareg) you can swap Datapst.db but you need to reset your radio stations and othere things. That's why we preferred a script updating it with the necessary information. It would be nice to make some reverse on your DataPST.db and see what is changed.

@silvinnio If you have VCDS and diagnostic data cable, you can try the following: 1) activate green menu (with VCDS or dedicated script) 2) activate CAR-NET: 5F--> Adaptation 10, canal 69 insert value 32783 3) run GE_ENABLE script Some RNS850 users were succesfull in this way. Otherwise you can edit the run.sh script as suggested by frankiegom; in this way you will have in the log a fail on the fairmode install that is exactly what you need: #launch installFairMode.sh script (comment next line if not necessary for RNS850 system with SIM) #/scripts/Connectivity/installFairMode.sh if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo -ne $(getTime) " - step 20 Failed Launch installFairMode.sh script\r\n" >> $SAVPath/log.txt errnum=1 else echo -ne $(getTime) " - step 20 Success Launch installFairMode.sh script\r\n" >> $SAVPath/log.txt fi ....

Yes, you are right but finally this is a thred for activating GE over wifi without the SIM ;). Ok, anyhow I will thin about that, may be I can add a note to comment that line for people with SIM!

Of course if you are with SIM you do not need to install WiFi script and therefore no need to uninstall fair mode. Happy you managed. What about Online Traffic ?

OK .... sorry I did never run that command. Ask to windstar who did it for sure ... see post 433 in this thread.

In the green menu, under the sction config, there is a line that state "uninstall fair mode". You need to run this. Nothing to do with your pic.

Thanks for the advise. This might be the discriminate why Street View is not working on RNS850 before 2011 (without SIM).

I am still on vacation but I noticed a strange behaviour of the BT mobile strenght sighal on the left screen of the nav: my strenghth is now always at 5 bars and never decrease (even if the mobile has one bar). This happened after having installed K0821 and wifi script (i do not know who of the two is the discriminant). May be this is in some way linked to the fact that my car is without Street View ... it does not work even if I tried hundred times. In some way it must be a SW setting that is different from RNS850 dtated 2010 .... I am still trying to understand ....

Yes, finally I like to share what I have done and leave it in the net for the benefit of others. BTW it can be useful also form me in case I need to make a reconfig in the future ;) I got your point on the router SW release and infact I added a specific sentence in para 5 to verify the latest version at the website you are pointing above. Thanks for the recall.

Hello to everybody. With the assistance of congo (many thanks to him again), I have succeded to activate GE on my RNS850 without using third parties DataDSP.db. In order to summarize the job done, starting from the great tutorial of this discussion, I have written a tutorial tailored to Touareg RNS850 system. You can find it at the following link, together with all the scripts that are necessary for the install and GE activation. https://mega.nz/#!5o1nkKKQ!b8jzDpFQBcJ1MskB-9MxaHlBGXBMzy0tw4e2Cak-NXY I hope this is useful. ciao

The forum is in French and as far as I can see no English menu translation exists. They are already very supportive with us ... indeed this is an Audi post and they are very positive in assisting us on our VW. I have a question for you. In page one of this discussion there is a very interesting installation script. In order to manipulate the dataPST.db. the script uses sqlite.xml process that looks more safe in the updating process: cp $SDPath/newfiles/sqlite.xml /HBpersistence/. sqlite.xml is imported at the next boot. sqlite.xml structure is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <tables xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="sqlite.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <tb_integer> <int_row status="invalid"> <key>45056</key> <value>1</value> <namespace>4</namespace> </int_row> <int_row status="invalid"> <key>40960</key> <value>32783</value> <namespace>4</namespace> </int_row> <int_row status="invalid"> <key>4100</key> <value>1</value> <namespace>4</namespace> </int_row> </tb_integer> </tables> May be , once you have competed your job this can be implemented in the installation script for RNS850. Meanwhile I put back my SD in the pocket and wait for your instructions :)

I got your warning and now I am scared and stopped ... I wait for your suggestion if you can assist. In PM I have sent you my DataPST.db in a modded version forrowing what suggested in the forum. May be this can help you in better understanding the configuration without SIM.
