[SOLVED + pic of RPi security cam] ssh only over ethernet

Postby jbodhorn » Fri Sep 16, 2016 1:16 am

I'm trying to setup a wireless security camera using motion/motioneye on a RPi B+. I've been setting everything up over ethernet via ssh till today when I tried to switch to wireless. The wifi dongle works with the RPi it came in a starter kit, it's a Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter. I've used this dongle on my odroid-xu4 running Arch Arm, so this dongle has been used with Arch Arm before. The wireless adapter connects, I've connected using systemd-networkd/resloved and also I tried disabling them and using netctl/wifi-menu. With both systemd-networkd/resolved and netctl I get an ip, I can ping google, and I can run updates, but I cannot get ssh access.

I have the pi hooked up to a tv and keyboard incase I break something while working on the setup and so I can mess around with configs while offline or unable to ssh. I double checked my sshd_config to make sure I wasn't bound to one interface or something silly like that, but I don't see anything in my config that would stop me from connecting through ssh on wifi

9/22/2016-EDIT:
I reinstalled netctl and wpa_supplicant, made two profiles, one wifi, one ethernet. I disabled systemd-networkd/resolved, enabled my two netctl profiles and rebooted. Everything looked good so I disabled the ethernet profile and rebooted, everything was working.

Here's a pic of my completely wireless RPi security camera in action, running. ATM it's powered off a powerbank with a solar panel to charge the powerbank:

I still have one more major item to address and probably need to upgrade my powerbank, small issues I hope... I've never ran anything with an encrypted root, which is my final step before putting this camera in use. I don't want someone grabbing my camera and getting my network password and access to my samba server where all the camera recordings are saved to...

Re: RPi B+ ssh only working over ethernet

We have two networks at home, I've tried connecting to both via wifi, same issue... I have iptables installed but it is disabled as I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet, so I don't know of anything I've installed that would make me unable to ssh over wifi, especially since I can ssh over ethernet. I've also checked the firewall on my router and there is nothing there blocking me from connecting to ssh over wifi
