I agree, designate some users with moderator privileges could be the solution.

Yes, very annoying. Please, delete spam topics.

@Junxiao-Shi said in Unable to connect to non-alphabet SSID:

I reflashed my device with standard OpenWrt 18.06 and it works great.
Procedure and experience on my blog:

Excellent, thanks!

Connect smart phone to the Omega’s WiFi Network and try to use IP address http://192.168.3.1.

@Carst-Dan said in Wireless not working unless Ethernet cable plugged in:

Updated to 0.3.2 b218 two hours ago (Omega 2+). Problem remains. Additionally static ip network setup fails now. Worked with the delivery version.

Yes, static IP setup fail from old versions, I need to setup gateway manually for internet access, see this post:

http://community.onion.io/topic/3107/setting-dns-with-static-ip-config

I'm using firmware 0.3.2 b217 (Omega2+).

@Carst-Dan said in Wireless not working unless Ethernet cable plugged in:

This problem only occurs if the ethernet is plugged during the boot-up and is removed later. The wireless connection connection stops working at this moment.

If the ethernet cable is plugged after boot-up and is then removed, the wireless connection remains totally correct.

This seems to be a FIRMWARE-BUG.

Hi, which firmware version are you using ? (just for information).

Well, I think is a problem of routing tables:

Output of route -n command with DHCP (default device config):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.3.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-wlan

With STATIC IP config:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.3.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-wlan

So, I route manually with command:
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1

And voila, ping google.com works...

---

Complete config for static IP

Device IP address 192.168.1.95 and router/gateway in 192.168.1.1.

Modify interface 'wwan' in file /etc/config/network as follow:

config interface 'wwan'
        option ifname 'apcli0'
        option proto 'static'
        option hostname 'Omega-XXXX'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.95'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.168.1.1'
        option dns '8.8.8.8'

If you use the Access Point (example a phone connected to Omega as Wi-Fi client) add DNS servers to /etc/dnsmasq.conf file:

# Use public DNS servers for Access Point when
# static IP is used for 'wwan' interface.

server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4

Add these commands to /etc/rc.local to update config on next boot:

# ----------------------------------------------------------
# COMMANDS FOR STATIC IP CONFIG
# ----------------------------------------------------------

# Add routing table (need it for STATIC IP config)
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

# Restart Dnsmasq for update DNS servers (only Access Point)
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

Next, reboot Omega.

Check if the route -n has a similar output:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 apcli0
192.168.3.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-wlan

And ofcourse, try ping google.com command.

Conclusion

In my humilde opinion there are a config bug for static IP, maybe Onion would fix it.

@Maximilian-Gerhardt said in Setting DNS with static IP config:

Maybe the dnsmasq program interferes? What does /etc/resolv.conf say?

Maybe... I try all configurations in /etc/config/network and /etc/config/dhcp, but it doesn't work.

File /etc/resolv.conf is modified by dnsmasq after boot.

@Jean-Eudes-Quidet-0 said in Setting DNS with static IP config:

Hi

i work in DHCP but with a static lease with the MAC Address of apcli0 (xxxxx0E for you but not the MAC Address of the Omega Label )

my router is a Mikrotik and this system work for all IOT (ESP 8266 / ESP 32 / 4Duino ...)

Bye

Hi, It's no apply in this case, because I'm finding a solution without modify router setup.
