wifi password phrase

    What method are you using to setup your wifi connection?

    If you're using wifisetup with arguments, you'll need to wrap any ssid's or passwords that include passwords with quotes.

    For example:

    # wifisetup -ssid "my wifi ssid" -password "my wifi password"

    I've connected without any issues to a few wifi networks.

    @Lazar-Demin I actually used the web interface through the Omega provided app and wifisetup through the menu system. I have now tried your version through the serial console. This gives me a bit more information. It gets to associated and then says deauthenticating with either reason 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING or 1=UNSPECIFIED. @Robert-Gusek Did you join any networks that spaces and specials characters in their WPA key? It can also be that the problem lies in the - character that's in the SSIDs I'm trying to connect to. The network that did work doesn't have that either. It does have spaces in the SSID though. I guess if it works in the SSID it should also work in the WPA key....

    Hmm, after using the up arrow to retry the wifi command a couple of times it now suddenly does connect... Problem solved I guess...

    @Paul-Koene Yes, one had spaces, the other had ! and * in the key. Now having said that I realized that both these networks were using WPA2 only.

    Hi Paul,

    does it also work after a reboot?
    I had a similar problem with my laptop, there it was a problem with the speed (and I guess used frequency). For me there it helped limiting the speed to 54Mbit/s. (How fast is the wlan on the Omega?)

    Hi Frank,

    I have rebooted it a couple of times and it seems to come up without problems every time.

    Hi,

    I should have taken some cups of "STFU"… now I'm getting the problem:

    This is really strange, because the wifi is already shown as properly configured as shown in:

    [ 31.330000] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 32.660000] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0-1: link becomes ready

    And then it deauthenticates for some reason. Perhaps the router is booting it off?

    Hello,

    thanks for your reply. I don't think it's a specific problem with my router, but I'll test that later.
    Does the Omega support the 5GHz frequency band? Somehow I have the feeling that that might be part of the problem - but as I said it's just a feeling…

    @Frank-Neuhaus No, unfortunately the Omega does not support 5GHz. But if it shows that the device is connected, then it should have connected. Most routers that support 5GHz will also create an access point for 2.4GHz.

    Hi Boken,

    that's true. Mine does so as well, I just asked because my Thinkpad T520 had the same problem and limiting it to 54MBit/s solved the problem.
    In the other thread about this topic you asked the user whether he is able to ping Google or not. For me I can say that that is not possible; here is the output:

    I'm wondering about that because it claims to be connected, has a proper IP assigned, and still no traffic is going through.

    Any help about this is appreciated!

    I've rebooted in between, that's why the IP changed.

    BR
    Frank

    EDIT: Changed format.

    EDIT2: Obviouly the IP is continuously changing, I think every time it tries to re-associate. But that's does not exactly explain the broken rules in the first setup - I'll just play around with that now… [EDIT: Must have been a change during getting the example… routes fit to the IPs.]

    EDIT2^n:

    I've just done the following:

    [21:09:59  5.11.2015] [frank@waffeleisen] [/home/frank]
% sudo iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
        SSID: Schillerstrasse
        SSID: SchnurlosesNetzwerk
        SSID: Funkkiste SGV Blockhaus
        SSID: Funkkiste SGV
        SSID: WLAN-E7B142

    No, I did not change the SSID of my Omega. And the Laptop is standing directly next to the Omega.

    P.S.: Connecting to another AP I opened using my mobile (OnePlus One) worked just fine…

    EDIT 2^n +1: Most likely my last edit for today, which now might help other people as well. Hopefully.
    I've just set my router to only support 802.11b/g (so without n!), and it works. Maybe a problem of the router; I'll test that tomorrow when I'm at a place with another 802.11b/g/n network.

    Hello everybody,

    I've decided to make a new reply.
    Minutes ago I've tested to connect my Omega and my T520 without limitations to the 802.11b/g/n. What shall I say? It just works fine for both devices, so there seems to be some problem with my router at home.
    Therefor I'd say that this problem is solved.
    Thanks to everybody who helped me!
