HOW TO GET THE WIFI DONGLE TO WORK IN VOLUMIO
« on: August 09, 2017, 08:00:12 PM »
Hi,
Is there a step by step guide to setup the wifi dongle to work in volumio? I know we have to login to the unit but what do we do from there onwards?

Thanks.
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Steven,

    After connecting USB wifi dongle to sparky you have to connect LAN cable to sparky and then you need to access through LAN by entering the IP address in the browser(check the IP address using mac scanner or directly connecting monitor to the sparky board ) .

After accessing through LAN you have to configure your wifi by enabling  wifi  in volumio and it will list out available network then you have to give  user name and password of your wifi .

Then remove the LAN cable and check which IP is detected by volumio (from your wifi network) and access the device by entering the IP addresss in the browser.

With Regards

Hi,
I am not familiar with Ubuntu. Could you please list down the command line instructions to get the WIFI dongle to work?
Is there any setup guide on your website that I can download with regards to this matter?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Steven
