How do I connect and OTTO AMR to WPA3 Security Wifi Network?

Connect an OTTO AMR to WPA3 Security Network

Q: How do I connect my OTTO AMR to a WPA3 WiFi network?

A: As of V2.34.4 of the OTTO firmware by default, the OTTO AMR software is not compatible with WPA3, so you'll need to use the following workaround to get it to connect:

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the robot and a laptop.
  2. Navigate to http://10.255.255.1:8090, then type in and save the WiFi and IP settings. (WiFi won't connect at this stage.)
  3. Open a Windows command prompt and SSH into the robot: 
   ssh administrator@10.255.255.1
  1. Edit the WiFi configuration file: 
   sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  1. Add or edit the following lines: 
#Accept both SAE (WPA3) and WPA-PSK (WPA2)    key_mgmt=SAE WPA-PSK    # PMF optional (required for SAE, optional for transition mode)    ieee80211w=1    priority=10

It should look like this:

 

  1. Be sure to enter the correct access point name (ssid) and password (psk) in the appropriate fields. 
  2. Save and exit by pressing Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X.
  3. Restart the WiFi service:
   sudo systemctl restart netplan-wpa-wifi0
  1. Ping the Fleet Manager (FM) to confirm the connection. If it doesn't connect, recheck the settings above.

Q: Is there anything I should avoid doing after connecting?

A: Yes. Once the robot is connected to WiFi, avoid using http://10.255.255.1:8090 to update the WiFi and IP settings, as it could overwrite the configuration above. Connecting with the Fleet Manager (exchanging VPN keys) is fine.
