Connect Rasap to Open Network and share it?

[crystalstyl]

Hello everyone,

I have successfully configured RaspAP and everything is working so far.

Now I am facing a problem:

I want to log on to a "public" WLAN, which does not require a password, but you have to accept it after connecting via Captive.

Unfortunately, I cannot connect to a public WLAN via the Web GUI?
In another article it says that the Innsider version supports this function? Is that correct? Or what can I do to make this configuration work?

If your public WLAN is using WEP (god forbid) RaspAP won't connect to it. This is clearly indicated in the WiFi client UI:

"WEP access points appear as 'Open'. RaspAP does not currently support connecting to WEP"

hi,

same problem here - and yes it is written in the docs and in the UI that WEP networks are not supported - but still:
the need here would be to join a completely OPEN network, not even protected with WEP.
Many hotels and camping have such open networks and authenticate users via Captive Portal once connected.

is there at least a command line workaround to connect to an OPEN network? or a way to tweak the config?
I am experimenting but I was not successful so far

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. Attempting to connect to any network without a password results in a failed connection. I've attempted on 2.4g, 5g, and wifi 6 networks, all with the same result.

It's possible this is a bug. Please be patient while we look into it.
