Today - after a FACTORY RESET - I upgraded it successfully from b176 to b178 on Serial Console with

I am now able to do straight Serial Console upgrade from b159 to latest b178 without Factory Reset.
WiFi connection appears to be working OK for now and open connection is very fast.
Still doing more testing.

Thanks Lazar and ALL support team.
Connection to Open WiFi network Works OK now.
It's a very quick connection, few seconds, makes development work with virgin modules much easier.

Much appreciated.

Is Python WiFi Library supported/compatible with Omega 2+?
Would like to scan and do WiFi connections from Python script.

So far can install and import wifi, Cell library in python 2.7.

But wifi scanning doesn't work out of the box.
To save me time digging to find details, has anyone had any positive experience or advice?
Would be much appreciated.

cells = wifi.Cell.all('ra0')

Success connecting to WiFi repeater module based on Linkit-Smart 7688.
Linkit-Smart repeater has psk2 encryption and is acting as repeater for Dlink WiFi router that I have not been able to connect Omega 2+ with new firmware.

So far have been able to download a fair bit of stuff from Internet and local wifi network without problems.

Anyway, for a time being this gives me a work-around to connect to Internet with new firmware until the original problem is solved.

What is the maximum number of WiFi STA clients that can connect to Omega 2+ functioning as WiFi Access Point (AP)?

Is this also WiFi interface firmware version dependent?

Have searched the forum but did not find any answers.

Using new 2.0b176 firmware. Tried but unable to connect to Dlink DSL-2900AL wifi router via gui webpage interface. Can connect this way to same router with previous 1.9b159 firmware.

Have been able to connect to Dlink router via another Omega with old 1.9b159 firmware as repeater , but internet connection cuts out after small throughput of data such as only 8 iterations of external internet IP pings. Then need to run wifi (on Omega with new firmware) to reset wifi interface and can repeat this without reliable success. Actually, wifi connection to Omega repeater cuts out and need wifi reset.

Have not tried yet to connect directly to Dlink router with encryption, don't have time now.

Below are outputs as requested for setup using new firmware to connect directly to Dlink wifi router, but unsuccessful!

After spending more than half a day reading forum posts that don't relate much to new firmware with new wifi interface and playing with different options. No luck in connecting to Dlink DSL-2900AL wireless router. Although can connect with previous 1.9-b.159 firmware using gui web interface without any other configuration modifications.

Since I have number of Omega 2+'s and old firmware can connect to Dlink router, I tried to eliminate direct connection to Dlink router and connect via Omega 2 with 159 firmware that is connected to Dlink . SUCCESS, sort of.

I can connect to Dlink router and local WIFi network through Omega with old firmware but don't have Internet access yet.

I guess more research and reading what is the difference between Dlink router AP and Omega AP with old firmware? Also how to get to Internet? This is suppose to be easy beginner friendly module?

Update .
Have modified firewall settings in Omega connected to Dlink and use it as "Range extender" with internet access available.

Omega with new firmware connected to Omega as range extender works unreliably with internet access. Can ping Internet IP for a little while and then it stops, have to reset WiFi (wifi command) to get internet access again. opkg update DOSN'T work "opkg_download: Failed to download..........opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity"

Omega with old firmware as range extender appears to have good internet access through Dlink wifi router, pings OK, opkg update works fine.

?? More troubleshooting or may just forget about new firmware until it becomes more stable.

This is the main difference between the new V2 firmware and previous firmware when trying to connect to local WiFi.

Output from previous firmware that connects to local WiFi:

Output from new V2 firmware that DOESN'T connect.

[ 376.594605] br-wlan: port 1(ra0) entered forwarding state

Then it just hangs there!!!!

I don't have enough knowledge on how it all works but.
Is this the actual connection to WiFi running old firmware?

[ 155.384737] !!! APCLI LINK UP - IF(apcli0) AuthMode(0)=OPEN, WepStatus(1)=NONE!

OK, sorted out wifisetup. Was using TeraTerm terminal on Win-7 and had CR+LF set as Return/Enter. Fixed by deleting LF and only sends CR after Return/Enter key.

Still no joy in connecting to my local WiFi router that works with previous firmware version.
Have tried Factory Reset on previously used Omega 2+ and number of new units with previous fresh firmware out of the box.

Anyway new firmware flashed is omega2p-v0.2.0-b176.bin. Not sure if this is region dependent regarding WiFi channels, I am in Australia?

After scanning and selecting local WiFi without encryption for this exercise. this is the listing of wireless file in /etc/config

config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'ralink'
option variant 'mt7628'
option country 'US'
option hwmode '11g'
option htmode 'HT40'
option channel 'auto'
option disabled '0'
option device_mode 'apsta'
option op_mode 'preference'

config wifi-iface 'ap'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'ap'
option network 'wlan'
option ifname 'ra0'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key '12345678'
option disabled '0'
option ssid 'Omega-C0B5'

config wifi-iface 'sta'
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'sta'
option ifname 'apcli0'
option encryption 'psk2'
option ssid 'YourSsidHere'
option key 'YourPasswordHere'
option network 'wwan'
option disabled '0'

config wifi-config
option key 'none'
option ssid 'RR2'
option encryption 'none'

config wifi-config is added to the bottom of the script file as above with correct WiFi ssid and no encryption.
Not sure if config wifi-iface 'sta' should have been filled in with my WiFi setting, it is in fact unchanged from factory reset?

Below is the output after running wifi command.

My knowledge is not up to speed with what should be the correct output?

Anyway, looking for suggestions why omega 2+ doesn't connect or is not seen by my local wifi router?

Thanks Lazar,
No problem, will try factory reset, have over 50 omega 2+ to play with.
Will let you know how it goes.

@T-NT said in New OS Release!:

I noticed in my one the wifisetup script used uci set wireless.radio0.. when of course the device is actuall ra0 now.

But if you look at wireless script in /etc/config , option device is 'radio0' for both ap and sta interface. AP interface seems to work as I can connect and log onto Omega WiFi directly.
But I can't get STA interface to work to connect to my WiFi router AP?

In quick start web interface setup, Omega scans and detects my external WiFi router and AP's , but will not connect?

Then tried terminal wifisetup and will not let me make menu selection, see previous post.

Looks like I'm not alone with WiFi connection issue?????

@György-Farkas said in New OS Release!:

(It seems you typed the sh: 1 (or the sh: 2) text instead.

NO, I only typed wifisetup and return and was not given a chance to enter selection, rest of output was generated by Omega.

wifisetup not working?

Bye!

I'm relatively new to this, but what is going on?

Installed new firmware omega2p-v0.2.0-b176.bin on 2+.
Discovers WiFi but will not connect?

Had to do manual download and install.

Definitely have internet connection, can perform update, upgrade, install.
Possibly issue in connecting with Firmware Server, will try again later.
