Thx foryour help!
Regarding the Email: yor are right. Just using a anonymous mail address.

ofc it is not a showstoper. I apologise if i had used a wrong board.

But using an email-address as a SSID is a good idea to give ppl the possibility for a contact.
Many WLANs are configured like hell (channel settings totaly wrong) and it is hard to find the right neighbour inside a skyskraper.
A 2nd advantage of same SSIDs in a network is the seamless roaming for clients. They do not know which AP they have to use, they just connect to the AP with the strongest signal.

An example: if my guest networks all named "guest@frischling99.com" and my own networks all named "wlan@frischling99.com" users are able to use their phones even on the restroom without thinking about the right SSID.

That is what live makes easy.

I was just wondering about the fact, that the "@" was forbidden in LibreELEC and thought it is a problem of a regular expression which checks the legal characters.

Anyway: i can live with this behaviour, but maybe the Devs are able to fix this with an upcoming version. If i have to make a bug report with log files and so on, i will do it ofc.

The RPi3 has a built in WLAN.
And mine is active as an AP, its name is "wlan5".
All i want is to rename this access point to "wlan5@home".
But the "@" character is dropped by the input box (options -> libreelec -> network -> Activate AP (tethered) -> SSID -> wlan5@home -> ready -> try it again, bro, because i do not like the @ ).

The RPi3 should not connect to a WLAN called "wlan5@home", he has to become an access point called "wlan5@home".

Sorry for the misunderstanding

Hi chewitt,

sorry but your code does not work here.
My Linux knowledge is not that good, but i will try to explain what happens:

# connmanctl
Error getting VPN connections: The name net.connman.vpn was not provided by any connmanctl> agent on
Agent registered

connmanctl> scan wifi
connmanctl> services

my RPi3 is connected via ethernet and i just wanted to create an AP inside my living room.

But regarding the legal characters of an SSID: According to last standard 802.11-2012 (Section 6.3.11.2.2), it can be 0-32 octets with an unspecified or UTF8 encoding. So in any case the "@" is a legal octet. I thought that a regular expression is used to cut off illegal characters - never read before the above named papers

Hi there,

i tried to use my RPi3 as WLAN-AP and gave him the SSID "pi3@home" but the @ was not accepted as a character of the SSID.
"pi3home" worked well, but i would realy like to name this WLAN like i did with my others ("guest@home", "atv@home" etc.).
Makes some things easier

I think that the regular expression has to be modified.
