wifi-connection-problems - reroute

Ger Buurman 0 — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 19:04:38 GMT

Still having problems while using wifi with the Omega2. I use a macbook (2010) and want to connect the omgea via wifi to the internet so I can resume the wifisetup/wifimanager. When I am working with my ' ordinary' wifi connection to our router (FRITZ!Box 7581 UI) no problem. As soon as I connect to the Omega using wifi the router in't recognized and no connection to the internet is allowed. I want to update my omega2 and start my IOT projects. Please, any ideas/suggestion for this issue?

Connecting hotspot of NodeMCU WiFiManager to Omega2 WiFimanager is not working

Nitin Patil — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 10:18:37 GMT

Hello Guys,

I have one purpose to connect Omega2 with the hotspot of NodeMCU.

I'm trying the traditional way in Omega2, like using "wifisetup", search and connect.
In NodeMCU I have configure static IP (10.0.1.1) subnet (255.255.255.0).

Whereas Omega2 is able to search hotspot of NodeMCU and able to connect it, but as soon as I checked in Omega2 "ifconfig", I din't see any connection between Omega2 and NodeMCU.
Also I tried to "ping 10.0.1.1", but it doesn't worked.

So just to check wifimanager of omega2 is working or not, I have tried to connect with router and its work pretty well.
Also to test wifimanager of NodeMCU is working or not, I have tried connecting with my PC and it also works pretty well and I able to do the right stuff with this.

In Omega2, on command "wifimanager -v" gives below output:
AutoConnectAP1: access point of NoceMCU
.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Count: 6
Number of configured nets: 6
trying to connect to... "AutoConnectAP1"

Please suggest me what to do to make it work.

remove last Network

Hello

If you remove the last configured Network from your /etc/config/wireless

wifisetup remove -ssid 'yourssid'
wifimanager
ifconfig
apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
          inet addr:192.168.1.15  Bcast:255.255.255.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

You won't be able to disconnect from that network,
witout removing them in the wifi-face list and then reboot

vi /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'ra0'
        option type 'ralink'
        option mode '9'
        option channel 'auto'
        option txpower '100'
        option ht '20'
        option country 'US'
        option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'ra0'
        option network 'wlan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '12345678'
        option ApCliAuthMode 'removeThis'
        option ApCliEncrypType 'removeThis'
        option ssid 'Omega-XXXX'
        option ApCliSsid 'removeThis'
        option ApCliPassWord 'removeThis'
        option ApCliEnable '1'

wifimanager


ifconfig

          inet addr:192.168.1.15  Bcast:255.255.255.0  Mask:255.255.255.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

reboot

ifconfig
apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX          
          inet6 addr: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

aslong as there's no configuration for an other Network the wifimanager won't change anything.
Is there some command or something that can make that change without rebooting?

Omega2+ - First time setup - can't connect to a WiFi AP

In case someone reads this thread in the future searching for a solution of problems with WiFi - this thread is really helpful - http://community.onion.io/topic/1149/omega2-fails-to-connect-to-wifi/26

Omega2 0.1.10 b160 wifi driver buffer overflow - kernel panic

Douglas Kryder — Sun, 03 Sep 2017 12:23:32 GMT

@zal-to there are other builds you can use, but you would know that if you cared about finding solutions. btw, there is a new wifi driver under development by onion devs.

Wifi setup - possible to change default behaviour?

György Farkas — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:54:20 GMT

@Chris-Stratton OP wants to connect to some Wifi AP (a "router", some solar panel equipment, etc) which doesn't have Internet connection using the web based Setup Wizard. 2nd step: he will choose that AP's network - set SSID, Security, Password and click Configure Wi-Fi. Omega's response: Configuring ... and after a while ... Unable to connect to SSID Please try again Meanwhile APCLI LINK UP, connection established, ifconfig OK, /etc/config/wireless OK although every Please try again attempt appends a record to the file. It seems this config can be set manually by wifisetup or UCI or editing the /etc/config/wireless file - without problem. I don't know - is this "reverse" config worse than the usual one (when that solar panel equipment's client connects to Omega's AP) or not?

wifimanager over 90% CPU usage - Omega2p

Venet — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 20:24:29 GMT

@György-Farkas said in wifimanager over 90% CPU usage - Omega2p: @Venet I am watching my O2+ via serial terminal and / or via ssh (connecting to Omega's Wifi AP). I can not run wifimanager and top at the same to see that nice %CPU 99 % {wifimanager} How did you do that? I see. On my Omega2 wifimanager was set to run on boot, so I didn't start it manually. I think the problem with wifimanager is that if it is run manually it never completes (as others also found in another thread).

WiFi SSID with an apostrophe

mikeH — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 16:33:37 GMT

No, you're not the only one who stumbled across this. It's 5 years later, and the Omega still has issues joining and staying joined with, a network with apostrophe's in the SSID? We are shipping 250 end items per year to paying customers - paying a lot, I might add. Anyone know of a solution that doesn't require a custom hack job into each product that has already been shipped? Anyone from Onion listening? Cheers.

[workaround] Omega2+ "wifimanager" command never completes

Stefano P. — Sat, 11 Feb 2017 16:53:36 GMT

@David-Ehnebuske said in [workaround] Omega2+ "wifimanager" command never completes: After doing a "factory reset" on my Omega2+ it boots up nicely and its AP shows up. But if I connect to it, all I get is an "Index of /console/" page in the web browser. After a factory reset if http://192.168.3.1 returns "Index of /console", You need to go to http://192.168.3.1/setup-wizard/ and follow the wizard.
