hi @eriklundh, we've been seeing increased reports of this issue where telnet runs but rayhunter-daemon does not. I thought we fixed this for good in 0.7.1 but apparently not. Do older versions of Rayhunter work better for this? Particularly 0.7.0.

To test "from scratch" installation, you'd have to remove all port triggers, reboot the device (to kill telnet and to re-run the full flow for installing port triggers), and run the installer again.

I have the same issue with rayhunter 0.7.1 using the M7350. Installed via MacOS, using the --skip-sdcard option. Port trigger telnet is there, but not for rayhunter. No sdcard or simcard present when installing. TP-Link software version; 9.0.3 Build 241219 Rel.1089n. When I manually start it over telnet, it does start (as described in related issue #608) - does not persist through reboot, which makes sense given the lack of trigger.

edit: I tried the described from scratch installation, makes no change for me. One thing of note, I do consistently need two installation attempts. First attempt keeps hanging on "Launching telnet on device". Perhaps that might be related to it?

please try to open devconsole while logging into the admin UI when running the installer, and check any failed network requests.

[fancybear-dev]

I don't see any network request failures, only code 200 to be seen. anything else I can do to provide you with more information? thanks for the input and help thus far!

what browser are you using for the admin page?

I have a theory of what's going on but like the resolution to #608 it's another shot in the dark. i'll make a PR shortly for you to test out.
