I noticed that my Amber light never blinked. It turned solid straight away.
You mean right from switching it on?
Hey all, Received my omega 2 in the post yesterday. Just plugged it in today (Micro USB) I'm using windows 10. I can't see the wifi for the Omega 2.
It takes sometimes a few good minutes for the wifi name to appear on the list.

Yes, when I first turned it on it went straight to solid Amber light.@Jackdaw
Do you mean reseting as in power off/ unplug? Or is there a way of doing a full reset? (Hold button down for a while etc)@Jackdaw said in New Omega 2 No Wifi Nothing happening...:
It doesn't matter if you plug it in your computer with Windows 10 or Linux. But it's indeed unusual when there is no visible wireless AP when you turn on your Omega. You can try resetting the Omega or setting up a serial connection and troubleshoot directly. https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/connecting-to-the-omega-terminal.html#connecting-via-serial-windowsI have a bad feeling it's a hardware error. Which is strange as I only got it yesterday! Very annoying.
I have left it on for 20 minuets, still no wifi showing up.

Is there meant to be a sound or 'Looking for Drivers' Notification when I plug the Omega in via mini usb? Also, is the Amber light meant to stay Amber? Isn't it meant to blink first?

I have the mini dock. Don't know how to reset it on the expansion dock. But have you tried to connect via serial connection?

Yeah, no luck. Says the host isn't valid. I tried connecting to my Omega-xxxx.local and 192.168.1.3 with it. But it's never found. I think there's something going on with the hardware. The Amber light has never blinked.
I have the 'Power Dock' No expansions.

Could you paste the output of
iwconfigcommand on the Omega?
-
@Jackdaw Wouldn't I need to be able to connect to it first to run that command?

Could you paste the output of
iwconfigcommand on the Omega?Not sure if that's what I was meant to post?

How did you make the connection for that command?
-
@Jackdaw Oh Sorry. I ran Iwconfig.
I tried Iwconfig -e
Iwconfig -a
Iwconfig all
Iwconfig omega
Iwconfig omega-xxxxWhat is the correct command?

Do you think it's software related then?

..... No I mean execute that on the Omega
Again connect via USB serial connection. Follow steps here for Windows https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/connecting-to-the-omega-terminal.html#connecting-via-serial-windows.
After you have done that. You have a serial connection with the omega. Then execute iwconfig.
Serial connection in Putty looks like this.
I hope you have some basic command line experience.

I haven't tried USB serial on Linux. So i can't help troubleshoot it. That's why I send u the link to set up USB serial connection with Windows
