      Hi,

      I have a setup with a VOXL 2 with WiFi via the VOXL 2 WiFi Add-On Kit (MDK-M0151-1-02). It was working fine for a month (both in station mode and soft AP mode), but not it no longer seems to work.

      When I use voxl-wifi and configure it for soft AP mode, I don't see the VOXL-... SSID broadcast in the list of WiFi SSIDs.

      When I change it to station mode and try to connect to a WiFi network, it doesn't connect and voxl-my-ip always returns "none".

      When I connect the Alfa WiFi dongle directly into the PC, no networks appear when it scans for WiFi networks; so the dongle doesn't work on my PC as well.

      I also have a Starling 2 Max with WiFi so it uses the same model Alfa WiFi dongle. When I swap the dongle from the Starling 2 Max into my other VOXL 2, I'm able to see the VOXL-... SSID broadcast in the list of WiFi SSDs when I configure for soft AP mode and I'm able to connect to my WiFi network and get an IP address when in station mode.

      Based on this, I assume there's an issue with the WiFi dongle. Is there anything else I can try? If not, is it possible to get a replacement dongle?

      Thanks.
