<\/p>\n

There <\/span>seems to be a lot of confusion and missing information on how to access the dirt cheap OPI ONE wirelessly and the steps necessary to successfully use cheap Realtek USB dongles ( 8188cus, 8188eu ) with Armbian_5.10.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

This is a short summary of the needed materials and steps to turn your<\/span> <\/span>OPI ONE<\/span> <\/span><\/span>into a<\/span> <\/span>wireless client<\/span> <\/span>or<\/span> <\/span>wireless AP<\/span>. There are NO custom kernels, custom modules or anything else needed, we are using<\/span> <\/span>stock Armbian_5.10 with stock kernel, stock modules and stock software<\/span> <\/span>to configure wireless access for select<\/span> <\/span>tested and working Realtek wifi dongles<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Follow the steps without variation<\/span>. Once you get wifi working you may adapt setup\/configuration to your specific needs<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

- OPI ONE with quality power supply 5V\/2A<\/span><\/p>\n

- MicroSD ( 4G or higher ) with stock Armbian_5.10 installed per official instructions<\/span><\/p>\n

- Supported wifi USB dongle<\/span><\/p>\n

- LAN connection to host computer ( preferrably notebook running Linux ) for needed setup\/configuration <\/span><\/p>\n

- WLAN-router accessible from host computer to test wireless connections.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

General procedure to set up wireless on OPI ONE<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

- Set up your OPI ONE with basic Armbian_5.10 and configure a static IP LAN-address<\/span><\/p>\n

- Access OPI ONE via ssh from your host computer<\/span><\/p>\n

- Plug in wireless dongle and load correct driver module<\/span><\/p>\n

- check capabilities of wifi dongle (iw list)<\/span><\/p>\n

- configure wpa_supplicant for client mode<\/span><\/p>\n

- configure hostapd for AP mode<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

>>> all configurations will be minimal without added automagic complexities ( bridges, DHCP etc...)<\/span><\/p>\n

Wifi performance is not stellar, but definitely adequate. Under ideal conditions ( same room as router, little interference ) speeds of 80mbps ( measured with iperf ) can be expected. Crossing two walls at 20m distance from router the signal was still usable yielding 20mbps.<\/span><\/p>\n

After restarting OPI ONE it should be connected to your configured wireless router and accessible under the static IP. On your notebook the newly created OPI ONE access point should be visible when scanning. Specify a static IP for the link and connect using the chosen password ( e.g. '12345678' ) . Feel like a hero, empty a sixpack and order more pizza....<\/span><\/p>\n

Wireless connection is working now and the rest is up to your hopefully wild imagination and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tested working dongle for AP mode :<\/span><\/p>\n

RTL8188EU cheap no-name dongle from Aliexpress (  $2.20  )<\/span><\/p>\n

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0bda:0179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. ( noname identified as 8188EU )<\/span>

Wifi performance with both interfaces active is surprisingly good. Under ideal conditions ( same room as router, little interference ) speeds of 60 (client) \/ 30 (AP) mbps can be expected. Crossing two walls at 20m distance from router signals were still usable yielding 20 (client) \/ 5 (AP) mbps.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Troubleshooting<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the problems encountered while setting up WIFI are caused by inadequate or overly complicated testing setups, procedures and rampant wild guesses. Keep it simple and solve one problem at a time. As a stable datum you should realize that the procedures outlined above<\/span> <\/span>DO WORK<\/span> <\/span><\/span>and have been adequately<\/span> <\/span>TESTED and RETESTED<\/span>..<\/span><\/p>\n
