Thank you so much for your reply. I finally got @s4l1h script to work. I guess his instructions were for someone with some knowledge of coding and running GO. I feel stupid as I didn't realise I had to take off the HASHTAGS for for it to work ↓↓↓↓

I got it working now. I managed to change to timing from seconds to milliseconds, just to have more control. I will update you no how that goes.

Now my PC runs separately from my access point ( your microdriod Meth). hoping this will smooth out for my gaming now.

It's crazy to think that was been stuck on for a very long time and only needed a simple fix.

awesome, glad your up and running, deffo let me know how your timings and stability goes, i've never used go but might try again with this login program for curiosity's sake, I'm also looking into "incorporate Bash commands into a Windows batch file or PowerShell script" to see if this can produce an easier windows login, Thats the idea in my head anyway haha, but i'm learning all this as i go :)

A little update with @s4l1h script. I now have much lower ping and I disconnect a lot less (once every 4+ hours compared to 30min-1hour with macrodriod) , but when it tries to reconnect it can take a while sometimes (3-8seconds or sometimes 30 seconds). I think this could be on the btwifi router side, as when i refresh the web Brower btwifi doesnt come up. will update in a few weeks to come.

nice im currently learning and writing a windows .EXE program that runs in the system tray using vb.net for this also to experiment with, think its almost done, don't think i will use it much as i use the openwrt solution but i wanted to make a nice windows solution (other than running the bash script inside windows) and it was something useful for me to learn with :)

I would certainly be interested once it's ready - still using a .BAT run by the scheduler, which works fine but is obviously not incredibly reliable!

Uploaded & Ready To Try :)

Won't run on Win7, so I'm probably missing something from VBNet. Also would be nice to have a timer entry, so we can set our own delay. :)

Needs at least .net 4.6, this is included & should run on all windows 10 & 11 automatically, i targeted .net 4.6 as its compatible as far back as windows vista after manually installing it on older OS :)

Well, that's odd... I ran the .NET 4.6 updater and apparently I already have 4.7.2. "Repaired" that but it still won't run. Says I need to check whether I need x32 or x64 (I assume it's an x64 exe). Gah!

not entirely sure will try targeting 32 bit specifically, current timings are coded as follows,
IF NO INTERNET = ping (500ms timeout), wait (500ms), Ping (500ms Timeout), Run Selected Login
IF INTERNET Ping (Timeout Not Relevant), Wait (1000ms), Loop Back To Ping

I don't think anyone still uses 32-bit, do they? Not sure why mine (x64) won't run it, to be honest, but then I haven't reformatted and reinstalled for years (used to do it every 6 months) so Windows has probably accumulated a whole load of icky stuff that gets in the way...
The timing thing: I meant between checks, sorry. I have my current batch going every 2 minutes or so, which can give a fair bit of downtime if the network's rubbish but avoids getting things piled up with constant checks!

ahh its set to loop so if first test passes waits 1 second and runs the same single packet ping again :)

@aidanmacgregor also now using your script (OpenWRT service). Nice work, thank you! Though I swapped the config over to /etc/btwifi.conf since I'm not sure what owns rc.local on OpenWRT.

Hey Awesome! Glad its Working Well For You, and i was under impression nothing touched it besides from the user :)

@shuckster With the SSID of BT WiFi hotspots now changing to "EE WiFi", will the cloud-connect plugin need to be altered, and if so, what is required?

@adammcguk - Thanks for the report.

If you're already using the plugin, you can try modifying this line in this file in your local filesystem.

Change it from:

BT_SSID=${CC_WIRELESS_SSID_MATCH:-"BTWi-fi\|BTWifi-with-FON"}

To:

BT_SSID=${CC_WIRELESS_SSID_MATCH:-"EE WiFi\|BTWi-fi\|BTWifi-with-FON"}

I have a suspicion the space may cause issues, so if the above doesn't work, try:

BT_SSID=${CC_WIRELESS_SSID_MATCH:-"EE\ WiFi\|BTWi-fi\|BTWifi-with-FON"}

If you are able try this and check that it works, I'll update the plugin in the repo so others can benefit.

@shuckster I tried the 2nd way and I also changed the main config file in the cloud connect plugin, as it also references the SSID. Not sure if this was required but after doing both, it is working.
