Hi @Guest

Could you clarify what exactly are you trying to do here? Is his related to your previous project about making an extended wifi-wired bridge LAN?

Hi @Ajay-k ... I had faced a similar issue... I resorted to a factory reset. Alternately, you can try connecting it via serial to see if your wifi service is starting with the onion boot up - this also happened to me once and after I started it up manually one time it worked on subsequent startups

Hey Joren

I have faced similar issues too and found the same solution (reset the omega). But cool of you to put it up

Hi

I just found this new instructable which uses the Onion Omega: http://www.instructables.com/id/NodeMCU-ESP8266-Based-Switch-Board-with-Raw-TCPIP-/

Hi guys

I just discovered a simpler way to use the omega as a wireless range extender - without using ssh/serial connection.

1. Power up your omega connected to the minidock.

2. Open a browser and go to the console @192.168.3.1 and log-in using the default settings or if you have already changed them use your new login

3. Go to the "Settings" app

4. On the dashboard on the left go to "Wif-fi settings" - here you need to scan and setup the omega to connect to your home network (main router/home router) - to do so search for the correct SSID broadcast by your router and set the correct security type and corresponding password. After you are done click the "Configure Wi-fi button"

5. Next, go to the "Wi-Fi AP settings" on the dashboard on the left. Here you have to first check the "Enable AP Mode" - Next, set an SSID of your choice - This will be the wifi network (range extended) that you will connect to. Set a security type and password. I normally keep these the same as that of the main router for simplicity. Next, click "Configure AP". It may or may not do anything at this stage. However the settings are made.

6. I would suggest a reboot of the omega at this stage.

7. And thats it!! now just connect your computer/smartphone to the wifi SSID you set with the password you chose and you are on the internet!

Finally!! Thanks guys. The stickers look cool. Hope to get them soon.

Hi @Guest
Thanks for clarifying that.... maybe it would make more sense and help everyone keep track of your project progress and challenges faced if you posed it as a reply in the old post? that way the context would be clearer when you post useful links as above.

As far as the project goes - I will try to help you in a couple of weeks. Right now my omega + exp dock is occupied (as I have told you in the pm). I'm the kind of guy who cant solve a problem without simulating it myself. Just give me sometime I'm sure we can solve this.

P.S. By the way I have been using the omega+exp dock as a router for about 5 months now with different devices connected, including a raspberry pi through wifi and through a wired connection with a belkin router running ddwrt - in the exact same config you want to run your project on i.e., omega is the router -> ddwrt router is the wifi bridge to which I connect the raspberry pi/beaglebone with a patch cord. I am assuming that if its possible to do this with ddwrt it should be possible with openwrt.

Yes... Please try that

Hi @Guest

Could you also post the complete contents of your '/etc/config/network' file here?

@Guest... Just curious whether you were able to get it working finally... ?
