Omega is unresponsive over WiFi network

  • B

    I have been able to upgrade my Omega to firmware v0.0.8 b297. The Omega is successfully connected to my WiFi network. However, I cannot access the console from my computer. I'm on a Mac using Chrome, and when I try to access the Omega via its IP address, the request always times out.

    I am, however, able to access the console by connecting to the Omega's own network (Omega-2007) and visiting 192.168.3.1.

    Here's the output of the relevant config files.

    cat /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/ar933x_wmac'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option disabled '0'
        option channel '9'
        option txpower '30'
        option country 'US'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'wlan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option encryption 'none'
        option ssid 'Omega-2007'

config wifi-iface
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'sta'
        option network 'wwan'
        option ssid 'BTHub3-Z4RJ'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option disabled '0'
        option key 'xxxxxxxxxx' //password removed

    And this one

    cat /etc/config/network
config interface 'loopback'
    option ifname 'lo'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
    option netmask '255.0.0.0'

#   option reset '1'
#   option enable_vlan '1'

#config switch_vlan
#   option device 'switch0'
#   option vlan '1'
#   option ports '0 1 3'

config interface 'wwan'
    option proto 'dhcp'
    option hostname 'OnionOmega'

config interface 'wlan'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
    option netmask '255.255.255.0'


#config interface 'wlan'
#   option ifname 'wlan0-1 wlan0'
#   option type 'bridge'
#   option proto 'static'
#   option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
#   option netmask '255.255.255.0'
#   option ip6assign '60'

    And the output of a wifi restart:

    Any ideas? šŸ™‚

    @Beejay-Morgan Can you run ifconfig and post the output?

    @Beejay-Morgan The Omega is trying to test the the internet connection against one of the Onion servers during the WiFi setup process. It may take longer than expected. You can safely skip that step by pressing Ctrl-c after seeing

    [ 1478.970000] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready

    Even pressing ctrl+c after the links have become ready doesn't fix it. The request to 192.168.1.16 still times out.

    Outgoing requests seem to work fine. The package manager can do its job, and pinging an outside server works fine. I just can't access the console from another computer through the non-ap interface.

    It seems ssh times out as well.

    @Beejay-Morgan That's odd, the Omega seems to be able to connect to the internet at large but cannot be accessed from your local network. Maybe your network is restrictive about device-to-device communication?

    Can you try it out on another wifi network?

    Sure, I'll try to remember to try it somewhere else. Incidentally, I can access my computer's Apache web server from any other device on the network.

    I am using an Apple Airport Extreme. Would the fact that some of my devices are using the 5GHz spectrum be an issue? Is there a compatibility issue there somewhere? I can't imagine that would make a difference.
