[SOLVED] Omega can't connect to WiFi

@Boken-Lin
Hi
I have tried eveything listed above and still no luck in connecting to my Wifi.
If I setup a hotspot on my ohone I am able to connect and have done the firware upgrade but still am not able to connect to my wifi.
I have an Arduino YUN that connected first time without any problems.

My wifi is running WPA2 with aes. This is the first device that I have had problems connecting to my WiFi.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @Ian-Carr, Does your Omega able to serve an access point? Can you connect to the Omega via serial terminal, and copy and paste the output on the terminal when you try to connect with the wifisetup command?

Thanks.

@Boken-Lin Here is the output from wifisetup.

@Nito-Weber , might be a good idea to remove in your firs post the [resolved] from the title. So we can continue using it for the same problem with the experiences you made.

Ian Carr

I installed build omega-v0.0.6-b279 from http://repo.onion.io/omega/images/
using the method discribed in https://community.onion.io/topic/358/factory-reset-not-working/2

The wifi setup worked first time and is running great.

@Nito-Weber ... Most dorm networks have 801.2x security which requires additional configuration (EAP/AUTH Type etc). This cannot be done on the omega because it ships with 'wpad-mini' by default. If you still would like to use it in your dorm then try the method in this post:

https://community.onion.io/topic/27/wifi-wpa2-eap-peap-mschapv2/7

@Boken-Lin & @Lazar-Demin - if I may suggest why not make 'wpad' the default rather than the 'wpad-mini'. I believe it will solve most of the connectivity issues. Of course it will eat up a few kb more space but it could be worth it.

@Boken-Lin Hi, I changed my wireless configuration to your config. After that I received "Invalid mode". Now I can't see any wifi from the onion. Can I hard reset it, without ssh to it? I hope I don't bricked it

Gayan Priyanatha

My WIFI is at WEP. Omega2 does not connect to this AP, but when I tired my hotspot on my nexues 5 (which is WPA2) it connected. Any help from any one is much appreciated.

Peter Lelie

@Gayan-Priyanatha Same problem for me. At a customer site they are using WiFi with WEP and a code like 429a2936580b72330486c13973. Trying to configure this yields the following result:

 root@Omega-5857:~# wifisetup add -ssid Visitors -encr WEP -password     429a2936580b72330486c13973
> Restarting wifimanager for changes to take effect
root@Omega-5857:~# wifisetup list
{

    "results": [
 {
    "ssid": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "encryption": "WPA2PSK",
    "password": "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" 
},
    {

    "ssid": "Visitors",
    "encryption": "WEP",
    "password": "1" 
 } 
] 
}

@Nito-Weber I'm using WPA-TKIP and can't connect unless I go Open. I understand AES works. Is this just as good as TKIP?

fossette

@Gayan-Priyanatha @Peter-Lelie If it's at all possible, you should consider setting your wifi router to WPA2-AES instead of WEP (very vulnerable).
@Don-DeGregori TKIP was deprecated in the 2012. Same advice to you!

Mikaël PIRIO

@Gayan-Priyanatha Have you tried this?

Peter Lelie

@fossette Thanks for your advice, but sometimes there are networks which you need to use that you can not change, because the owner is not you
And WEP is still a valid encryption method, albeit insecure.

Sergey Melekhin

HI!
I tried all abovementioned tricks on my Omega2+ but no luck. The thing that helped was disabling "Hidden SSID" option in my router. It is sometimes called "Broadcast SSID" too (but with opposite meaning). Looks like current setup does not work with 'hidden' SSIDs.

Luciano S.

@Sergey-Melekhin , i changed router and use hidden ssid to. No luck till now with omega1. So why should I expose my private network to the neighborhood just to play with IOT?!

Sergey Melekhin

@Luciano-S. hidden ssid does not make my network a tiniest bit more secure than WPA2PSK AES does, so I got rid of it with no regret.

Luciano S.

I know.. it is just hidden when you browse the wifi network. The list just keeps shorter if you not expose to everyone. I believe some smart software can make it anyway visible.

Hey Guys i had the same issue. What i did on my WiFi router i tweeked the settings and under network type in my router i chose "Open". But still maintained the wpa2 encryption key for my WiFi network. then saved and rebooted my router.

Upon setup of the omega 2 plus my wifi popped up and connected automatically and proceeded to register and download the update. if it says unable to connect refresh the page and start again it will already be configured and you can proceed.

Try it out and tell me if it works.

Thanks

Careful! While you may not have removed the key that would be used if you ever switch it back to being a wpa2 network, it sure sounds as if you have presently removed the security from your network.

Best not to leave it that way.
