WD TV Live HD #2

Closed nitroshift closed 9 years ago

nitroshift commented 9 years ago

WRT1900AC on latest CC build (kernel 3.18.1) refuses to stream wirelessly on 2.4GHz band any media file (using samba shares, minidlna and twonky media server). Signal meter on WD media player is full. Tried all combinations of wireless encryption --> no joy. Distance between router and media player between 1 meter and 10 meters (2 separate rooms). Same issue on trunk firmware image using kernel 3.14. Packages installed after flash: luci, luci-theme-bootstrap, luci-app-samba, samba36-server, block-mount, kmod-fs-ext4, minidlna, hacked copy of twonky media server from original Linksys firmware image.

Please advise.

Later edit:

The WD TV Live HD media player uses a Realtek RTL-8192 WiFi chipset.

Editing /etc/config/wireless and setting hwmode to bgnac solved the problem. Issue closed.
