I have managed to get it using the AP - I needed to manually type in my SSID in the web setup UI as the AP doesn't show up when scanning for networks using the UI. Probably due to the Scan failed
error shown above.

RE: New Omega2+ can't find wifi APs
@Brad-Buskey I have tried the USB port on my mac (so I could use
screen
to connect to the Onion), as well as a 2amp external USB power supply.I have also tried using one of my first gen Onions, and it successfully connects to the wifi.

New Omega2+ can't find wifi APs
Hi guys!
I found some other related issues on here, but none that solve my issue. Trying to set up my new Onion2+, the wifi scan does not pick up my Apple Time Capsule. As suggested in another post, I've tried setting the channel of both the Onion and the Time Capsule to 9, which unfortunately didn't help.
Running
wifisetup
results in the following:root@Omega-433B:/# wifisetup Onion Omega Wifi Setup Select from the following: 1) Scan for Wifi networks 2) Type network info q) Exit Selection: 1 Scanning for wifi networks... [ 588.994143] br-wlan: port 2(ra0) entered disabled state [ 590.036322] EEPROM:Read from [factory] offset 0x0,length 0x400.

My

Not really sure how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

Onion Shipping and support
This is obviously not the correct place to post this, but I've tried contacting Onion through their official support portal as well as Twitter with no response. I ordered four Onion Omegas before xmas and selected DHL with a tracking number as my shipping option.
Under my account on orders, it shows as fulfilled but I'm yet to receive my tracking number, and nobody is replying on support tickets (or Twitter, it seems).
Obviously I'm super duper excited for my new toys. Am I being too hasty? I also know it's holiday season and all. How long should I wait to get the tracking number, or for somebody to reply on my support tickets? I'm in South Africa and our customs can sometimes (read always) be a pain, so I just want to keep an eye on progress with my tracking number.
Any ideas?
Not being an ass, just super duper excited and can't wait!
