Wifi setup fails

    New Onion. Terminal connection via Linux is fine. wifisetup fails. Looks like it passes invalid arguments to uci?

    @Stew-Benedict Have you tried connecting to the AP and setting the WiFi-network with the web-based setup-wizard instead? Your device really needs a firmware-upgrade, maybe there was a bug with wifisetup in your version.

    Tried that too, but I think wifisetup modified the AP setup too as it is asking for a password, The wireless file now has my APs password in the ap block, but it doesn't seem to accept it. Can someone provide was the original wireless file should look like? I tried various manual edits after reading up a bit on uci on the OpenWRT pages.

    Thanks

    @Stew-Benedict This is not the original file, but this should get you going:

    config wifi-device 'ra0'
        option type 'ralink'
        option mode '9'
        option channel 'auto'
        option txpower '100'
        option ht '40'
        option country 'FI'
        option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'ra0'
        option network 'wlan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key 'WIFICLIENTPASSWORDHERE'
        option ApCliEnable '1'
        option ApCliAuthMode 'WPA2PSK'
        option ApCliEncrypType 'AES'
        option ApCliSsid 'WIFICLIENTSSIDHERE'
        option ApCliPassWord 'WIFIAPPASSWORDHERE'
        option ssid 'Onion'

config wifi-config
        option ssid 'WIFICLIENTSSIDHERE'
        option encryption 'WPA2PSK'

    That worked! Thanks so much. I had a similar edit but was missing some bits. UCI is a bit new to me.

    oupgrade running now

    @balint-szabo What I have posted above works fine, just change the SSID, password and country to match yours.

    @WereCatf I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. Is this text you are entering in the command line? Where do I put this text?

    Have a look to this wiki by openWRT ... it shows how to do basic steps like navigate in the terminal etc:

    @carl-stevens If the problem is in actual hardware, then yes, but if the problem is your lack of skill in using it, then no.

    Not trying to be a pain here but if the 3 methods for setting up wifi on your website don't work and you need to have a certain set of skills to use the board that statements like this on your crowd funding site don't make sense.

    @carl-stevens Did you even try following the guide at https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/get-started.html ?

    Correct tried using the wizard first then moved on to ssh like the bottom of your wizard set up suggests if that did not work then on to connecting via serial. is there a way to set it up link a PI by coping a file system to the SD card?

    @carl-stevens No. Besides, you need to upgrade your firmware first to even be able to use the microSD-card slot anyways -- the version you have is broken and the slot ain't working.

    Using wifisetup on the command-line doesn't work?

    Correct once I get to the step where I am entering the wifi password it sits idle for 10 or more minutes and then I get a "broken pipe" error.

    @carl-stevens I would recommend installing newest firmware. You can e.g. install it via USB by following the instructions at http://community.onion.io/topic/1154/omega-2-usb-firmware-install-after-brick-resolved
