[RESOLVED] Wifi does not work



  • I'm having a problem connecting to a wifi network with the Omega. I haven't used it in a while but since I finally got the battery dock I wanted to put it to good use. I have used the Omega in the past and it was working, but that was back when we originally got them shipped.

    I reset the firmware by holding down the button for 10 seconds and logged into the admin panel. Filled out the wifi info and it just got stuck, didn't see any feedback that it was connected. Restarted it and my network info was gone. So I went into the Terminal and tried configuring with the wifisetup script. This is what I get:

    What are my options now to get this working?

    @Marcin-Pawelek Not a problem, you will just have to modify a file by hand.

    Add the following to /etc/config/wireless :

    config wifi-iface
            option device 'radio0'
            option mode 'sta'
            option network 'wwan'
            option ssid 'YourWifiSsid'
            option encryption 'psk2'
            option key 'YourWifiPassword'
            option disabled '0'
    

    Where YourWifiSsid and YourWifiPassword are your actual SSID and wifi password, respectively.
    Then run wifi. You should then be connected to the internet. Then, try updating your firmware.

    Let me know how it goes

  • @Lazar-Demin No luck. Apparently wifi command does not exist:

    ~ # vi /etc/config/wireless                                                                                                                 
    ~ # wifi
    /bin/ash: wifi: not found
    

    And this is very weird:

    ~ # oupgrade -check                                                                                                                         
    /usr/bin/oupgrade: line 235: uci: not found
    > Device Firmware Version: unknown b
    > Checking latest version online...
    > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful
    

    Somehow I have an unknown firmware but I never installed custom firmware. I only reset with the hold down button for 10 seconds method.

    Thanks for your help



  • ok, got it working. After a restart it connected to my wifi. Apparently I was on a very old version of the firmware 0.0.3 b189. After the update to 0.1.4 b330 things look a lot different. Seems like I'm back up and functional. Thanks for your help!
