@Stephane-Foloppe i'm not sure if you know that for the most part this is a user to user community forum. some admins from onion post every once in awhile but they have not had a large presence. but there are some really knowledgeable people [i'm not one] who will help you out best that they can. but yes, i think many of us agree that it's a disappointment.
you could try downloading & installing a fresh copy of b160 firmware. there is something amiss in the current install/package. you can spend many hours trying to find the problem or get a new copy of the firmware and see if that works.

that is a great price but be aware that the connector is different, mmcx . and on expansion IT'S U.FL.
@Tom-Yochum would having a hosts file help. what mechanism is supposed to facilitate the resolving of that address?
@Ted-Wood you might get it to work if you move the filesystem to the /overlay as in,
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html
does anything get output to the serial terminal during the boot process?
i found these previous postings that may help you.

@Joseph-Goldin you might want to take a look at particle.io electron board. the 3g module is ok. i have a 2g and 3g. the 2g is kinda iffy. the 3g is very solid [for me, anyway]
@Kirill-Metrokhin are you running b160 firmware? that segmentation fault warning was a problem prior to build b160. the apache may be on a different server. if you already use b160 try re-install if not too big an issue.
@Joseph-Goldin good job on taking this subject [cellular expansion] to the next level. i hope you can get it to work. hologram has a user forum that might have some answers. but the forum isn't very active. good luck.
@T-NT well, yeah, the router was the most interesting to me also but if it is a large sheet with small closely spaced parts that thing will sooner or later get bogged down in its' own waste. i thought that arm sitting on a very clean desk in a clean room was a joke. oh, and that lady with the router, i can see her lugging that thing around all day. but back to why onion backs these particular projects? i really hope it can be explained that their kickstarter account was hacked.
hologram recently announced the nova, a usb cellular device. you might want to give the nova docs a look.
well, since we are on the topic, how many of those projects would you back? that big guided router would make such a mess, seems it has no vacuum, or maybe vacuum is an add on.
it appears that the omega2 is having memory issues. there is a message of 0 swap pages so perhaps setting up a swap file would help?
@Luis-Morales only things i can think of is you have a bad regulator or have hooked it up incorrectly. do you have a photo of the actual setup?
@David-Hallman what has happened to you has happened to many others and basically it is due to the reset not finishing correctly for some reason. make sure you are using the correct firmware . either plus or the basic omega. then just let the update run again
@Stephane-Foloppe about a couple of months ago one of the onion admins stated that onion was going to build a whole new wifi driver. i think he stated that it would be ready around sept. 1st. i don't think it has been finished since i'd guess they would have released a new firmware build by now. anyway, that's what i've read about wifi recently.
@valerionew , yes, you are correct. prior to building a copy of your dock\new i had used a simple rj45 dongle thru usb on expansion dock. first tim i plugged it in i was surprised a bit that omega2+ had recognized it but i found that the action on that web page you link was necessary for the dongle so in building the dock\new i assumed it would be necessary but i was not positive. anyway, thank you for mentioning it.
