AVG2 wifi ?

Hi,

Have been using cable for Internet for many years.

I would like to use wifi but this is not working for me....

Does anyone know how to connect AVG2 to use wifi ?

Many Thanks.

Hi,

What is the procedure for wifi for AVG2 ?

I am not technical in this respect.

Method to connect :

- Remove internet cable.

- Install wifi antenna.

- Restart AVG2 .

No internet.

Thanks.

Hi cinfo,

How can you check the wireless card and drivers ?

Do you do this with vdr remote or in ubuntu desktop ?

Many thanks for help .

Hi cinfo,

I am unable to locate the vdr remote .

Can you enable this wireless card with Ubuntu Desktop ?

Please excuse my severe ignorance.

Many thanks for help here.

Hi,

Post #2 unfortunately tells me nothing .

Could you explain the procedure for connection to wifi.

I would be grateful for step-by.step guide.

AVG2 is not a normal pc and so i can not connect via ubuntu desktop .

Thanks again for your help.

Hi cinfo,

Reel OSD --> Setup --> Network --> Wireles LAN

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what i do and after selecting ( Wireless Lan ) a few moments pass and my network is found :

WPA2 Movistar_7652 -

I select this and dhcp failed ..........

I got my wpa2 code reset by my isp to default 12345678 but this is not working.

Do you unplug ethernet cable before you select ( wireless Lan ) ?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi cinfo,

My /etc /network /interfaces looks like this :

Zitat

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
#
# WARNING: This file is auto-generated by the ReelBox setup, so you

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
up ifconfig eth0 up

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

Alles anzeigen

The file is telling me not to modify this script.

Should i go ahead and copy/paste your script ?

Zitat

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
wpa-ssid <your_router>
WPA-PSK <your_wpa_key>
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.0.1

Alles anzeigen

Where it says :

wpa-ssid <your_router>

Is there a way to find your exact router name ?

You included dhcp script :
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid <your_router>
WPA-PSK <your_wpa_key>

Which script do i use ?

Many thanks for this help.

Hi,

I copy/paste :
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid
WPA-PSK <your_wpa_key>

Into :

/etc /network /interfaces

How do i find the exact <your_router>

.............and what is this :

Be sure to select a static address outside the range used by the DHCP server in the router, switch or other access point.

What is the range of my static address ?

I have WPA2 not WPA , will AVG2 distinguish between them ?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi,

My isp does not support Linux only Windows , therefore can not help me with this issue .

I must change to a different provider for 4g as my isp has bad adsl and no fiber optics in my area.

Hi cinfo,

I followed your instructions for connection to wireless network with negative results.

1 - Copy/paste into /etc/network/interfaces :
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid <your_router>
WPA-PSK <your_wpa_key>

2 -

sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup -v wlan0

3 - Disconnect ethernet cable

4 - sudo init 6

The result does not load :

Welcome BM2LTS ............

Ubuntu desktop is ok but there is no access via wifi or cable.

Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody,

Are there users on this forum who are using or ever used wifi with AVG2 ?

If so please contact me here or via email.

Many thanks.

Hi ,

Is this script any good for wifi connection :

echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/09/03/backports-20150903.tar.gz
tar -zxvf backports-20150903.tar.gz
cd backports-20150903
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ath10k/ /lib/firmware/
cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6164
sudo cp -r hw2.1/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/

Thanks

Hi again cinfo,

Ok, someone pm v2.90 and i installed it.

The problem is the same .

I go to Network > wLan :

I select my network but am not able to lock

.........failed to retrieve ip from dhcp.........every time.

There is also a problem when ethernet cable is disconnected - AVG2 does not load and you have to CTRL+ALT+F2 and reconfigure point 2.

Can you please help .

Thanks.

Hi cinfo,

I hope you can help .

I will try one more time to get an answer and then will try :

Ok, so i have found that i have this wireless card :

Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

A post from the web here indicates a solution for that user :

I have tried this but there is something in AVG2 that is not allowing access and blocking dhcp .

Regards.
