Dear all,
I have a TP W8970 which was working flawless. I wanted to do some changes and I think I made few too many and made the system unsable.
Before I started to work on the machine I did a backup.
After several tries, considering I had the backup, I decided to reset the machine and reload it.
The only hiccup I'm facing is to set up the wifi. Obviously the files network and wireless are the one from backup so configuration are ok.
In the wireless tab the SSID shows msg:Wireless is not associated.
My assumption at this point is that considering the config files should be correct I might miss some software/package.
Can someone give any hint outside the commong config file setup?
Cheers

I don't see anything wrong in there. If you do a scan from a smartphone, do you see the SSID? Can you connect?

Is there a dedicate Wifi power button on the back? Sometimes I punch Elvis on my TP's by accident.

Sorry for late reply,
I've been away.
@Bill : there is a wifi switch. I double checked and make sure it is on but nothing has changed@trendy : no there is no SSID shown in any wifi scanner app from smartphone or pc programs@account4538 : 23528 kB / 59092 kB (39%) (from the openwrt status overview)
as I know the system was fine before reset.
A fresh new installation rather than reset do you think might help?
Still open to new checks and hints

Would you be willing to post a list of packages you have installed? It'll help to see if anything you need is missing.

@VA1DER : I don't see a problem to post the installed package.
I just checked the Atheros ar9k family packages and are up to date.
scrolling the dedicated wiki I saw the iw command and I've installed the full version.
Still no joy

Hi there,@VA1DER post he reminded me the hostapd package. I did check and I think it was not installed or at least was broken.
After it I deleted the old SSID, restarded the wireles and created a new SSID and now it is working!!!!!
Thanks for helping
Ciao
