Wifi

[Sorgelig]

or may be driver is incompatible with this specific dongle.

Could be. Just weird that it's a dongle that has worked for others and the USB info correct..or appears to be so. Oh well, guess I'll stick with wired for now.

It seems USB HUB gave me mentioned problems with WiFi. After change to another one WiFi dongle is much more stable. Keyboard doesn't freeze while WiFi initialization.

I also have keyboard freezing problems with the Wifi dongle I use. What dongle is stable for you? To look for it and buy it ...

Thank you!

Hi, I've just received an Edimax EX-7822ULC wifi dongle, configured my wpa_supplicant.conf file, but when I boot my MiSTer, I Have no network.
Do I need to do something else ?

[rsn8887]

I am not sure about EX, but I just bought a EW from amazon, "Edmiax EW-7822ULC, Edimax AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter" and it works fine here. I edited that supplement file, and renamed the file. Did you remove the initial "_" underscore from the filename?

Sorry, it's a EW-7822ULC from Amazon as well, but no luck here. I have the file wpa_supplicant.conf in my linux folder (without the first _"), changed the ssid and password, but no wifi at all.
I've tried the dongle on my computer, and it works fine.

UPDATE: an lsub gives me 7392:b822 and my box is configured with WPA2(CCMP) security

Are you trying to use a 5GHz access point? I just received one these today and attempted to connect to a 5GHz AP based on the wiki page's comment about 5GHz capability, but it wouldn't connect. I had to connect to my 2.4GHz instead.

[tom5151]

Yes, I've tried both AP.
It looks like it's exactly the same issue as @CmputrBlu.
Here is my dmesg output:

The dongle is identified as idVendor=7392, idProduct=b822, bcdDevice= 2.10.
The issue could be an unsupported bcdDevice version ?

I am not sure about EX, but I just bought a EW from amazon, "Edmiax EW-7822ULC, Edimax AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter" and it works fine here. I edited that supplement file, and renamed the file. Did you remove the initial "_" underscore from the filename?

Sorry, it's a EW-7822ULC from Amazon as well, but no luck here. I have the file wpa_supplicant.conf in my linux folder (without the first _"), changed the ssid and password, but no wifi at all.
I've tried the dongle on my computer, and it works fine.

That's the exact same dongle I am using and it is working fine here, connecting to my 5 GHz network. It takes a few seconds to connect after the menu is shown (the wi-fi icon appears next to the memory icon if I wait a little, and the time and date appears at the same time). Did you update your linux and cores to latest version? I did that prior to receiving my dongle. Not sure if that matters.

Yes, I'm up to date. I've used the updater script to update menu / firmware / cores and linux.
Do you have the same bcdDevice version as me (2.10)?

[edwoodjr]

Having same issue with Edmiax EW-7822ULC. I do have a hidden ssid, would that make a difference?

[djanice1980]

I have been having some issues with wifi. I read on the wiki that the Asus AC53 works well so I bought one from Microcenter.

Previously the wifi had major issues connecting to the wifi network. Since I updated yesterday I can now connect just fine and I get an IP address.

However, now when I am connected to the wifi I get sporadic ping responses unless I plug in the ethernet cable. Then when I unplug the ethernet cable it is sporadic again.

Here is a ping test I just ran. I had the ethernet plugged in at first then I unplugged it. Then at the end I plugged it in again.

Strange right???

Attached is a screenshot of the ip addresses.

[reflex]

Are you certain it is pulling a real IP? 172.x is often a range applied by default when DHCP can't be reached. When you connect to a wired connection is it the same IP range or not?

Are you thinking of 169.254. x.x, automatic private ip addressing (apipa)? 172.16.0.0-172.31.0.0 is simply the private class B range, like 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 is the private class C range.

You are correct, my bad. I never see private networks using 17.x however, it's always 192.168.x or 10.x so that threw me.

I've also purchased an Edimax EW7822ULC dongle and everything has worked just fine.

Input my hub details (contained within speech marks), changed the country to GB, and removed the _ from the start of the file name.

Rebooted my MiSTer and after a few seconds, the IP address popped up in the menu core good as gold.

[mdd45]

I can't get my Edimax EW-7811UN (v1.0A) to work on my Complete Mister (from Antonio Villena) on any of the 7 usb ports of the hub. I am using the original 2ampere psu coming with the de10 nano. Could be a power problem? I've tried also with a 2.5ampere psu, the official for rapsberry pi 3.....

[cugel]

I used the CanaKit dongle described as working "out of the box" in the wiki, and it worked as advertised. I used the WifI script so I didn't even have to edit the config file myself.

[EvilRyu]

Anyone else having problems with the wifi dongles when using USB fast polling? Is it a known problem? I had a quick look but could not find mentions to it.

Tried with an edimax and a tplink one. Both work absolutely fine with slow usb polling.
