New Omega 2 No Wifi Nothing happening...
-
Is there meant to be a sound or 'Looking for Drivers' Notification when I plug the Omega in via mini usb? Also, is the Amber light meant to stay Amber? Isn't it meant to blink first?
-
I have the mini dock. Don't know how to reset it on the expansion dock. But have you tried to connect via serial connection?

Yeah, no luck. Says the host isn't valid. I tried connecting to my Omega-xxxx.local and 192.168.1.3 with it. But it's never found. I think there's something going on with the hardware. The Amber light has never blinked.
I have the 'Power Dock' No expansions.

Could you paste the output of
iwconfigcommand on the Omega?
-
@Jackdaw Wouldn't I need to be able to connect to it first to run that command?

iwconfigcommand on the Omega?Not sure if that's what I was meant to post?
-
How did you make the connection for that command?
-
@Jackdaw Oh Sorry. I ran Iwconfig.
I tried Iwconfig -e
Iwconfig -a
Iwconfig all
Iwconfig omega
Iwconfig omega-xxxxWhat is the correct command?

Do you think it's software related then?

..... No I mean execute that on the Omega
Again connect via USB serial connection. Follow steps here for Windows https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/connecting-to-the-omega-terminal.html#connecting-via-serial-windows.
After you have done that. You have a serial connection with the omega. Then execute iwconfig.
Serial connection in Putty looks like this.
I hope you have some basic command line experience.

I haven't tried USB serial on Linux. So i can't help troubleshoot it. That's why I send u the link to set up USB serial connection with Windows

@Jackdaw
OP has an Omega2 and a Power Dock.
There is no USB-to-Serial Chip on that Dock.

Then every thing's working as it should? Why wouldn't they include something like that on the power dock!
Sorry for being such an idiot Jack, I really appreciated your help
Is this something I need to buy separately or something that 'Should have' come in the package?
Can I connect another way?

The only thing you can try is reset. Push the reset button 10 sec. and check if it blinks.
If not, then the best thing to get your omega back to work is to use an expansion dock or mini dock, so that you can use a serial connection.
