EV3 does not see my wireless network #1239

Open rg-software opened 5 years ago

rg-software commented 5 years ago

I was trying to connect to my home wi-fi network using ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2018-11-13 and edimax dongle. The problem I faced is that the system does not see my wifi (but it sees several other networks). Eventally I resolved the issue by changing the router channel setting from "auto" (which was in fact 13) to "10".

So I believe there is some bug in the ev3dev Linux system that prevents it from seeing channels with higher numbers.

It is illegal to use this channel in the US, so it is probably disabled by default for this reason.

It looks like you can change the country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. This file is not installed by default, so there may be more to getting it to work.
