You are not the only only that loses notes. I configured a system to be only used to front end a moxa in 2016 and then apparently never rebooted it until a few days ago. I use and found non wpa_supplicant solutions: tethering, apple hotspot (costs money with my account) and using a network extender. I have a linksys but my current favorite is a BrosTrend as it has an iPhone app that is reasonably straight forward to use. The wpa_supplicant would be the preferred solution has I would then have nothing I would need to include in the bag. I forgot my mouse on the last trip to the colo. Thanks again
