Here are the
top 5 issues I run into with people having hotspot problems
(#1)-
The most
common issue I run into with people having hotspot
issues is a
missing or wrong password, not connected to the DMR server
(#2)- would
be WiFi or Internet issues, either the router assigned a new IP address
or other Internet related issues in this case use pi-star.local to gain
access to the dashboard
(#3)- reason
would be tinkering around with the configuration
not knowing
what you're doing and have a setting misconfigured
(#4)- Audio
issues, clipping, distorted because the mic gain is
set way too
high, start with level-1 and work your way up using the parrot or a
friend
(#5)- Outdated
firmware, currently Pi-Star:4.2.3
/ Dashboard: 20250429 is the stable non-beta version

temporarily useless

it up and put it somewhere out of the way and away from RFI devices,

just restore it with the backup you made restoring your hotspot to the
last known working condition

starting over
