@WereCatf
I have some issue with wifi setup, but firstly i would like to recreate my wireless file,
could copy here the original
config wiwi-iface section?

[WereCatf]

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

[carl stevens]

@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?

[WereCatf]

@carl-stevens In /etc/config/wireless

[carl stevens]

@WereCatf I am new to the command line sorry. once I SSH into the device how to I get to there?

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

Is there a way to sent this board back and get one that works...

[WereCatf]

@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.

[carl stevens]

Just tried using serial.

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.

"With the Omega2, we want to lower the barrier of entry, and allow everyone to take the leap into hardware development."

[WereCatf]

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

[carl stevens]

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?

[WereCatf]

@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?

[carl stevens]

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.

[WereCatf]

@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

[carl stevens]

I get to the last line and get nothing. I do really appreciate your help, you have been very responsive and I appreciate that very much.

@carl-stevens I don't see any error there. You said wifisetup isn't working, but it looks like it's working fine?

[carl stevens]

That is what I though but bring to run the "oupgrade" command and it says I am not connected

ping and traceroute could help to debug your network problem.
