In some instances, you may actually have rooms or entire floors that have no signal at all. Rtt min / avg / max / mdev = 22.315 / 1758.606 / 6910.572 / 2022.You don’t need to live in a mansion in order to experience the frustration of having areas in your home that only receive a weak WiFi signal - no matter how much you’re paying for high speeds. 1.1 : icmp_req = 27 ttl = 64 time = 737 msģ6 packets transmitted, 18 received, 50 % packet loss, time 35017ms If something interesting comes out of these experiments I will of course let you know. Connect the dongle to my laptop to find out whether the dongle is much less sensitive than the built-in WLAN receiver of my laptop. The shield of the USB cable might change (and even improve) that, although this is of course just guessing.Ģ. 6cm) is rather sensitive to having an appropriate ground plane around. It could be that the small antenna in the dongle (which cannot be a typical 1/4 wavelength monopole or 1/2 wavelength dipole because that would be 3cm resp. When I boot holding my finger against the antenna then WiFi will be connected even without the UTP cable.ĭoes anybody else have similar experiences? I read in other posts that the Edimax is unreliable in setting up and maintaining a connection, could this have the same cause?ġ. When I connect the UTP cable to see what's going on I can manually connect to the router without problems since the reception has apparently improved. Therefore, no response to the auth request was received. That is apparently what happened during boot: the UTP cable was not connected (since I read in several posts in this group that connman doesn't seem to connect to WiFi if eth0 is connected) and I did not hold my finger against the plastic of the dongle. Interestingly, when I connect the UTP Lan cable (connected to the same router) the reception improves and becomes reliable again. If I remove my finger, it doesn't respond at all. When I hold my finger against the plastic part of the dongle (where I assume the antenna is located) it responds reliably to pings. I've put the Edimax dongle directly into the USB port, where it usually doesn't pick up my router (even though the laptop next to it shows a 4-bar signal strength from the same router). It seems there is a problem with the Edimax reliably picking up a medium or low strength WiFi router signal. I have looked around but can't find a description of this problem or of a way to configure the time-out (maybe my router is just too slow). Alternatively, doing a "test-connman connect" with the appropriate configutation directory also works.

When I then try to connect through the windows interface as described in your write-up it works flawlessly. wlan0: authentication with c0:25:06:ce:c1:3f timed out I have configured it using "test-connman autoconnect" to automatically connect and it tries to, but times out on authorization, see the relevant dmesg output below: The only remaining problem is to get WLAN to connect automatically at power-up since I want to build the Beaglebone into a wireless robot (headless and no UTP cable -) ). Thanks, that works very well and is (at least for me) quite stable.
