FAQ: How can I secure or modify the default Omega Wifi Network?

[Lazar Demin]

Once you have terminal access to the Omega, the following command will modify the default AP network:

wifisetup -accesspoint edit -ssid <name of desired ssid> -encr <network encryption type> -password <desired password>

There are 4 options for the network encryption type:

• psk2
  • WPA2 Encryption
  • The recommended and most commonly used type
  • Password must be at least 8 characters long
• psk
  • WPA Encryption
  • Password must be at least 8 characters long
• wep
  • WEP Encryption
  • Old authentication type, not recommended
  • The key must be either 10 or 26 hex digits
• none
  • No encryption
  • No password required in the above command

@Lazar-Demin

wifisetup -accesspoint -ssid <name of desired ssid> -auth <network encryption type> -password <desired password>

This didn't work for me, but it did work with two small changes.

1. insert edit between -accesspoint and -ssid
2. change -auth to -encr

So the working option for me would be:

wifisetup -accesspoint edit -ssid <name of desired ssid> -encr <network encryption type> -password <desired password>

This is on firmware 0.2.2 b201
