Omega2+ won't connect to wifi (in France)

WereCatf

@Joris-Mulliez Yes, "FR" is correct. And only you can know the right channel, I have no way of seeing your router or guessing what channel it's using.

Joris Mulliez

@WereCatf My Router is configured at "auto".

I wanted to not change my router configuration, I think it is the device (the omega2) who have to adapt its configuration...
But if Omega 2 can't work with a router in "auto" channel configuration I can modify my router configuration

I just try now, and it's not a success...

Here is my last config :

config wifi-device 'ra0'
        option type 'ralink'
        option mode '9'
        option channel '10'
        option txpower '100'
        option ht '20'
        option country 'FR'
        option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'ra0'
        option network 'wlan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '12345678'
        option ApCliEnable '1'
        option ApCliAuthMode 'WPA2PSK'
        option ApCliEncrypType 'AES'
        option ApCliSsid 'mynetwork'
        option ApCliPassWord 'mypass'
        option ssid 'Omega-****'

config wifi-config
        option ssid 'mynetwork'
        option encryption 'WPA2PSK'
        option key 'mypass'

I'm really confusing... I can get all the informations you want, but I don't know how to search the problem by my self...

Thanks a lot for your help,

Joris Mulliez

I just realize one thing, My router has a particular address : 192.168.1.254
So I certainly have to force the broadcast address in the wifi configuration.
But how can I force that in /etc/config/wireless ?

is there an exhaustive documentation for this file ?

Thanks !

Joris Mulliez

Alleluia !

It seems to work partially for now !

I modify the file /etc/config/network
to add in wlan section :

option gateway '192.168.1.254'

But it seems that my configuration is erased after network restart...
I can't find it anymore in my network file... oO

What is the Hell...

J'ai exactement le même soucis que toi (et ai aussi posté un sujet sur le forum)! Depuis que tu as fais ça ton Omega se connecte à ton wifi ? Ou pas encore?

Joris Mulliez

@Tom-Escolano yes my wifi connection work for now! I'll give you the commands if You want (not at home)

Speed09

@Joris-Mulliez I finally reset my Omega just to be sure. But now I'm stuck on the setup Wizard when it comes to connecting to a wifi network... What comcommand did you used to make it work?

scalz

i think i may have the same problem as you..
no problem to connect to AP, but then it's for connecting to my wifi that i get issue.
I'll try what you've done as I'm from France too.
If you have more details, of course i'm interested too

Hi,

I tried several tips before it works.

First you can check if change the omega IP can help : https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/fix-ip-addr-collisions.html#fix-ip-addr-collisions
If not, you can try to fix the wifi channel : example in this thread.

but for me the problem was the gateway. My provider is "ovh telecom" and the router of ovh has a particular IP : 192.168.1.254
I realize that when I try "ifconfig" on my omega and see the gateway to 192.168.1.255.

I don't know how the omega try to guess at which address will be the router...

So the only change for me was :

uci set network.wlan.gateway=192.168.1.254
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

The other default configuration are fine in my case.

For your problem try to analyse ifconfig result, and compare with "all" your router configurations (not only key, pass, encryption method).

I hope that it will help,

Joris Mulliez

Damn....

I upgraded to 0.1.8 b145.... and I can't make it work anymore
I don't change my router settings... So I guess the new image has some changes in the wifi/network... ?

Here is my "network" :

network.loopback=interface
network.loopback.ifname='lo'
network.loopback.proto='static'
network.loopback.ipaddr='127.0.0.1'
network.loopback.netmask='255.0.0.0'
network.globals=globals
network.globals.ula_prefix='fd1d:48c4:7633::/48'
network.wlan=interface
network.wlan.type='bridge'
network.wlan.ifname='eth0.1'
network.wlan.proto='static'
network.wlan.ipaddr='192.168.3.1'
network.wlan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
network.wlan.ip6assign='60'
network.wlan.gateway='192.168.1.254'
network.wan=interface
network.wan.ifname='eth0'
network.wan.proto='dhcp'
network.wwan=interface
network.wwan.ifname='apcli0'
network.wwan.proto='dhcp'

And here is my "wireless" :

wireless.ra0=wifi-device
wireless.ra0.type='ralink'
wireless.ra0.mode='9'
wireless.ra0.channel='auto'
wireless.ra0.txpower='100'
wireless.ra0.ht='20'
wireless.ra0.disabled='0'
wireless.ra0.country='FR'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0]=wifi-iface
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].device='ra0'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network='wlan'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mode='ap'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption='psk2'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key='12345678'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliEnable='1'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliAuthMode='WPA2PSK'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliEncrypType='AES'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid='Omega-****'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliSsid='mynetwork'
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliPassWord='mykey'
wireless.@wifi-config[0]=wifi-config
wireless.@wifi-config[0].ssid='mynetwork'
wireless.@wifi-config[0].encryption='WPA2PSK'
wireless.@wifi-config[0].key='mykey'

And here is the result of "ifconfig" :

I think it's a bit strange that I have an IPV6 rather than an IPV4 ?
And I can't find anywhere my special router gateway (192.168.1.254) even if the network config show it...

Any help would be appreciate

Thanks,

mehmet bozkurt

i have same issue on mikrotik router and airties router. it seems just connecting on my s7edge's hotspot. i've tried everything in this thread and links but nothing changed.
have anyone has real fix?
i also tried to change country to us on my router but seems nothing change too.

edit1: i also tried fw 0.1.5 to 0.1.8 and result same

Mikaël PIRIO

@mehmet-bozkurt Have you tried this?

Joris Mulliez

Hmmm.... I can't understand... My connection is working again...
But I havn't change anything (I wasn't in front of my computer).
And the connection worked all the time on other devices (phone, computer, etc..)

This WiFi connection is very unpredictable and it's very difficult to debug the problems...

Joris Mulliez

And here is my new "ifconfig'" part :

apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 42:A3:6B:00:B3:9D  
          inet addr:192.168.1.123  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::40a3:6bff:fe00:b39d/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:3536119 (3.3 MiB)  TX bytes:1490265 (1.4 MiB)

I can't see my router IP, but it work... strange...
