Wifi connection problem with Omega2



  • @Kostas-David
    unfortunately not yet..so i have switched on others mcu projects for the moment.
    i'll retry asap i would like to get it working and design some extension boards...
    I thought that would be a plug&play out of the box thing, for the getting started at least.



  • I am having the same issue. I am using WPA2/AES and have also tried connecting using both the web and the cli. The only thing "special" about my home wifi is it's a DD-WRT setup that has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the same SSID. I am well versed in the Linux CLI so I am happy to try anything you want to resolve it.



  • Just had a thought... during first boot it didn't do any of the blinky stuff the guide talks about. The red light came on for a few seconds and then went off. The amber one is on without blinking from the get-go.



  • Try enabling everything in firewall rules at /etc/config/firewall .



  • Will do. FWIW, I have also just finished trying on my second unit. The first is a Omega2+ and this one is the regular Omega2. Both are running firmware 0.1.5 b130.



  • @Zogg-Baubas I took a look at the file and it looks as though everything is already enabled (contents below). Can you be more specific about what I should try?

  • @Gene-Liverman Set this couple of options to:

    config defaults
            option forward 'ACCEPT'
    

    and

    config zone
            option forward 'ACCEPT'
    


  • @Zogg-Baubas No change... any other ideas?



  • @Gene-Liverman I'v modified firewall rules, restarted omega, ran wifimanager manually and it started to connect and stay connected with my wifiAP. I have 2nd Omega nearby, I'll do the same and see if the result was not a coincidence.

    I'v tried everything in all the other threads, and nothing helped me. Try your luck with info in other tread: https://community.onion.io/topic/1149/omega2-fails-to-connect-to-wifi



  • I have now updated the firmware on the plus via usb serial to 0.1.7-b140 and tried it with and without the fw rule changes, no luck. Trying the non-plus model now.



  • No luck with this one either. I tried the "fix" in the other thread in /etc/config/wireless but it didn't work either. Below is what I see whey I tell wifimanager to do its thing:

    	option key 'PUTYOURPASSWORDHERE'
    
    

    Modify your files similarly and hopefully you'll get WiFi working. If your WiFi-network is on a channel higher than 9, you may have to change the channel from auto to whatever channel you're using -- auto didn't work for me when I tested my WiFi on channel 13, even with correct countryregion-settings.



  • @WereCatf Nope, that does nothing either. I'v tried all the suggestions in all the other threads. I can't even flash (manually) firmware on this Omega - the sysupgrade fails to do the job. šŸ˜ž

    What do you mean with that?

    Heres the post where I'v put the sysupgrade logs: https://community.onion.io/topic/1149/omega2-fails-to-connect-to-wifi/14



  • @Zogg-Baubas Why did you use --force? You made two mistakes with sysupgrade: 1) move the image to /tmp. It won't work from /, like you noticed. 2) use sysupgrade -n yourimagehere.bin to have it wipe all current settings while upgrading.

    If you do it correctly it'll work.



  • @Zogg-Baubas I upgraded mine by using the serial console over USB. To do this, install the driver from and follow the directions on https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Connecting-to-Omega-via-Serial-Terminal then do the steps below per http://community.onion.io/topic/1154/omega-2-usb-firmware-install-after-brick-resolved/2

    1. Download firmware file to USB flash drive
    2. Rename the file to Omega2.bin (this works for both Omega2 & Omega 2+)
    3. Connect PC to Omega 2 via device supporting USB to serial connectivity.
    4. Hold the reset button down and power on the omega.
    5. Select option #2, install firmware from USB.


  • @WereCatf I'll give your network config a try this weekend, thanks!

    Thanks, will do once my USB-Serial cable arrives. šŸ˜‰ For now it is bricked.
