Thank you, crispyoz, and gyorgy farkas, I had verified the wifi was working and also serial communications. The problem was ytring to update firmware or install console, always errored out or just sat there with progress indicator circling regardless of time spent, without any download of software or installing happening. With your help and hints, I succeeded in updating oupgrade, and then updating firmware, and installing console. The problem was in the oupgrade file origionally installed. Again thanks, everything working as it should now.

I have the omega2 pro and after initial setup after connecting there is a page with docs, terminal, and software panels. tried to install console by clicking on install button, it shows the circling like it is installing, but just keeps it up with no change. I tried installing it half a dozen times after closing connection and reconnecting, then clicking on install button with the circling indicator for up to 30 minutes with no software installed. Also tried to do oupgrade with it erroring out "/usr/bin/oupgrade: local: line 378: not in a function". so cannot upgrade firmware either. does anyone have a fix for this? Wanted to do a serial install of firmware, but instructions say to connect zip drive and connect usb cable to computer with the omega off. Cannot connect with terminal with omega in off position , saying no such device in putty window. So how can it be done with the omega not on and booted to enable connection?
