Hello. I would like to use my Omega as a wifi router/ Access point. I was thinking of connecting it to the Ethernet Expansion. I found this https://github.com/OnionIoT/uboot but am not entirely sure what it is/ if it might help me achieve what I am trying to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Has anybody tried and successfully connected a usb wireless card/device to the omega?
Any suggestions on what kind will and or will not work?
I tried updating opkg.
This is the ouput. What does that error mean?

@Boken-Lin Thanks for the explanation. I had used the GUI initially to set things up and wasn't aware of what was going on under the hood.
I have now completely switched to using CLI and was able to figure out the issue.
@Boken-Lin Will will the wiki be posted today. I'm really excited for this!
I just deleted the wireless iface for the network that i had initially used to set up one of my omegas and it seems to be working fine again.
config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'
config interface 'wwan'
option proto 'dhcp'
option hostname 'OnionOmega'
config interface 'wlan'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
This is the content of my config file on the omega that does not have show up on wifi. I have left out the commented out lines.

@Patrick-Ryan Thank you for that recommendation. I downloaded the Serial App, but realized that I have the wrong kind of usb cable... mine only supplies power to the Omega and I am not able to connect to it. I just ordered one from amazon so that I can do that in the future.
In the mean time I managed to make a second one of my omegas unusable.
I now have two Omegas whose Wifi doesn't show up for me anymore.
@Boken-Lin Do you have any recommendations for connecting to the omegas? I tried using an ethernet cable with the Ethernet Expansion but failed to connect to it.
Would appreciate some help because I only have two omegas left that I can connect to 
.
@administrators on a related note is there a work around to connecting omegas to a WPA-2 Enterprise Network?
I set up my Omega at my house earlier today and now I am at work trying to connect to the Omega and it's wifi network is no longer showing up. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am on a different wifi network now.
Any ideas on what is going on?
Additionally I was wondering if there is a way to factory reset the omega. I tried pressing and holding the button on the dock but that didn't seem to do the trick.
