VOXL FLIGHT DECK WIFI CARD NOT BEING READ

[mirasul]

The Wi-Fi was working fine out of the box and then when I attached it to my drone the Wi-Fi card is not being shown in ip a or ifconfig... I don't know what could have happened. Is there a command to enable the Wi-Fi adapter? My setup contains 4 motors 4 ESCs attached to a Power distribution board. The VOXL is powered via LiPo 3s 11.1v battery connected to the Power Module v3. I can ADB in but there is no WLAN0 in ifconfig. Please advise what I should do. I don't have a Debug Add-On board so I can't flash it to factory defaults.
Print out of ifconfig:

@mirasul, that is weird.
Let's start with your software version. What version are you running?
What if you try

voxl-wifi -f

This'll reset wifi back to factory.

I have tried setting it back to factory, to my understanding it should broadcast as VOXL-<MAC ADDRESS of VOXL> however, it doesn't broadcast anything. Here is the output:

My software version:

I just replaced the wifi antennas but no luck still WLAN0 still not shown in ifconfig… please help me out. Do I need to RMA device?

@mirasul This is most likely a hardware issue in which the WiFi chip on the VOXL has either failed or the solder connection between it and the board has failed.

I would recommend sending it in for an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma
