Ok, I was gone for 2 days and it seems to be connected. It might be the delay it takes to get a connection.

But I'm unable to ping the device or access it using SSH via the ip address. What config should I change?

Here's the ifconfig :

apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 40:A3:6B:C2:14:XX
          inet addr:192.168.X.YY  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::42a3:6bff:fec2:14XX/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:27199 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I noticed that the dropped packets from RX is quite high.

UPDATE
After updating the firmare using oupgrade. The connection has been lost.

I've followed @cas instructions from the given link.
iwconfig gives me this result

apcli0    RTWIFI SoftAP  ESSID:"MySSID"
          Mode:Managed  Channel=3  Access Point: 70:8B:CD:31:26:XX
          Bit Rate=150 Mb/s

It shows it is connected.

ifconfigshows me this

apcli0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 40:A3:6B:C2:14:XX
          inet6 addr: fe80::42a3:6bff:fec2:14XX/64 Scope:Link

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

And I'm unable to ping anything

root@Omega-1439:~# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network unreachable

What are the next steps?

Hey guys,

After a few hours reading and trying to fix my wifi connection, I give up and must ask for help.

Using SSH, I factory resetted the Omega2+, ran wifisetup and now what??

ifconfig does not give me an IP address.

Here's the content /etc/config/wireless file

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-1439'

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

config wifi-config
        option key 'MY_PASSWORD'
        option ssid 'MY_SSID'
        option encryption 'psk2'

Firmware version : Ω-ware: 0.2.1 b199
I'm using putty on Windows 10.

Thanks for giving a hand in advance!

Hey guys,

I followed the official youtube video talking about compiling the kernel using docker.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to do so.

I get the following error after a while :

make -r world: build failed. Please re-run make with -j1 V=s to see what's going on
/root/source/include/toplevel.mk:198: recipe for target 'world' failed
make: *** [world] Error 1

I've tried various option, but none of them work.

Does anyway know what I'm doing wrong?

I've tested both batteries. There's an audible clicking sound in sync with the charging leds. The sound seems to be an electrical short, I need to be at around 12 inches to hear it.

Hey guys,

A few weeks ago, I've bought two kits for testing purpose. One of my PowerDocks 2 seems to be very unstable. It continuously "shutdowns" the Omega2 on it after a few minutes. There's a 3.7v battery connected to it.

Do you think it's an hardware problem or software? Is there a way to fix that?

Thank you

Hey guys,

I've have followed the First Time Setup using the command line, after I've rebooted, how long should I wait until the console is installed? The Omega has been blink stop and go for the last 30 minutes, before it stabilized. Could you please write down the approximate time it should take for each major steps.

Also you should add a ifconfig step somewhere in this guide to let the user write down the ip address once the Onion is connected to the network.

The concept behind the Onion is great, but please update the documentation once in a while. I've bought a couple of Omega2 for testing purpose and I've passed the last few hours just to get a stable connection.

Keep doing your great job!
