WiFi Hotspot: unable to get IP address

ARM Technical Assistance
1

I have Manjaro XFCE installed on a RockPro64. I created a WiFi hotspot using the Advanced Network Configuration app but when I try to connect to it from my phone, it can’t get an IP address. It worked like a year or so ago but then stopped and I gave up. I’d really like to get this going again. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried this?

Thanks, I’ll give it a go.

Also, make sure you have dnsmasq installed on the RockPro64.

This

nmcli dev w conne hotspot-name password hotspot-password

is to setup a connection to another hotspot/ap. I’m trying to setup a hotspot on my device.
