How to setup WIFI with edimax dongle

Postby swo » 09 Feb 2016, 17:48

Hi
What I have to do to connect the Rasp B with my Wifi network using an edimax dongle. Should it work with the web gui (doesn't work for me) or I have to login to console and setup in Arch Linux?

Thanks Wolfgang

Hi Frank
Thanks for the quick answer. The WiFi is working now but unfortunately the Audio quality is much worse than before. Now there is something like an echo in the background. I understand that nightly build is not stable. But the question is, what is the best way to get WiFi and a stable release. However if release 0.4 is around the corner I can wait


I did the same procedure again. Use exactly the same HW . And get the same behaver. But it seams that this happens when I play from USB stick if I play Jamendo sound is good. I also download a test mp3 from https://archive.org/details/testmp3testfile same issue ,

Hi Frank
meanwhile I played a little wit settings. If I change Sound Signature to Um3ggh1u or Arche Linux default it looks like that it works.

I remove the Wifi dongle and use the Ethernet, but I got the same issue. Changing the signature helps when I delete the queued song and start it from the library.

BTW : Power could not be the problem , I also testet it with an powered usb hub

Hi Frank ...
I’m running an RPi2 image with iQAudio DAC and amp streaming wirelessly from my NAS and it all sounds great but I am having intermittent WiFi problems.
Seeing this thread, I decided to try the Nightly build and followed the instructions ...
I got a refusal to remove ‘.’ and ‘..’ files or directories. Then the download failed a couple of times with remote end hung up/early EOF/index pack fail messages. On the third attempt the download succeeded and everything seems to be running OK.
I then did git stash and git pull and got the message ‘Already up-to-date’.

My first question: Do I have the Standard Update or the Nightly Update and how can I identify?

My second question: Should I have Dev Mode enabled or should I just do git stash & pull periodically?
Many thx
johnbanks
