VOXL2 difficulty in connecting to WiFi
-
Hi,
I am attempting to connect to the WiFi using the Microhard Add-on board and the ALFA wifi dongle connected to the board using the JST USBA adapter. However, when I do
voxl-wifi station <SSID> <Password>. Nothing happens. No IP address is being seen underwlan0when I doifconfig. I made sure the SSID and password are correct. Is this a known issue recently cause I don't remember having this much trouble before. This is a brand new VOXL2 board running 0.9.5. -
Hi @rohitpillai ,
Sorry for the lag, no this isn't a known issue with WiFi, are you still experiencing issues with this?
-
Yep. It seems to be random. We tried different WiFi dongles and while it would fix the issue temporarily. It would cause issues a few days later.

@rohitpillai Maybe use directly the name of the AP instead of the SSID?

I found out that the WiFi dongles were broken which is what was causing the issue
