Hello, I would like to share my progress. I finally managed to connect Omega2 to my router. The problem was the encryption type. My router uses "TKIP" but Omega2 has "AES".

So, I entered the following:

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ApCliEncrypType=TKIP
uci commit wireless
etc/init.d/network restart

Note: The firmware I am using is 0.1.7 b139 because for some strange reason the firmware update downloads this version instead of 0.1.8. But it works

Status update: By installing firmware omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin I managed to get connected to my Android phone's mobile hotspot with no security.
Problems:

1. Omega cannot get connected to Access points with security enabled (WPA, WPA2 etc)
2. No access to cloud, it is shown as "Offline"
3. LED is constantly blinking, even after restart
4. No internet access from the SSH terminal
5. Sometimes there is internet access from Console (it checks for new firmware successfully.

Still unusable...

@Zogg-Baubas yikes! why the --force flag??

Hey, Administrators, when will you resolve the wifi connectivity issues that we're talking about on this thread?

Hello all.

I face exactly the same problem. I tried your suggestions but no luck.
I can only connect to Onion's AP but Onion cannot connect to my router, nor my mobile phone's hotspot (even with no password). If only anyone might suggest another solution.

I upgraded today the firmware to v0.1.9-b150 and now it connects to the cloud normally.

@xmatt I also confirm that upgrading the firmware didn't help.
@Gerald-Schalek my wlan password does not container special characters but the wifi does not connect

@Zogg-Baubas It seems that we have to find the solution by ourselves, the Admins do not help at all.
Have you tried the new version of firmware?

@scalz did you manage to solve your problem? Many people face the same problem
