Plusnet Hub One wireless?

[spacebiscuit]

Fresh install of OpenWrt on Plusnet Hub One - how do I activate wifi.

Initially I did not have a wireless option on my network menu, so within etc/config I created a skeleton wireless config which gives me the option.

Now I see the following:

Generic 802.11bg
Device is not active

SSID: OpenWrt | Mode: Master
Wireless is not associated

Although I have the settings it seems the router wifi hardware is working or has drivers. I have tried opkg update and I've searced the forum. Any pointers?

Thank you.

There should be everything necessary preinstalled and automatically detected. Before trying to dig any deeper, I'd suggest to sysupgrade -n with openwrt-19.07.7-lantiq-xrx200-bt_homehub-v5a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin again (-n implies not retaining your existing configuration), maybe that already helps (at least it should give you a known-good state to build upon).

Thank you.

Did you set password yet?

[spacebiscuit]

I updated the router again with [openwrt-19.07.7-lantiq-xrx200-bt_homehub-v5a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin] but it made no difference:

Maybe my wifi hardware is damaged. I am beaten.

Check dmesg and logread for hints.

There is not any information in logred:

And dmesg?

I don't see anything obvious:

Same driver, could be of interest.

Archer C7 v1 hardware with v2 5GHz chipset

Hi, A little back story here. A while back I have installed OpenWrt on an Archer C7 v1 hardware. I was well aware the 5GHz chipset (QCA9880-AR1A) coming with it wasn't working with the firmware, but since its stability was already bad, I made the decision to make the switch anyway. I read on the internet, a guy was able to take a new PCIe 5GHz WiFi module, inserted it, then upon reboot, his router worked and recognized the card: https://smallhacks.wordpress.com/2015/11/22/upgrading-tp-link-arch…

[spacebiscuit]

I think that thread is suggesting to update:

ath10k-ct/cal-pci-0000:01:00.0.bin

in my case I have

ath10k-ct/cal-pci-0000:02:00.0.bin

The link to the file in that thread is also dead, have searched for it but no luck.

[spacebiscuit]

Just to confirm that what I am trying to achieve is possible....

I simply want to enable wireless on my router such that I can then connect to the router over wifi - I presume this isn't beyond what the firmware can do? For a moment I thought perhaps it was understood that I am trying to connect as a client to a wireless network. This is not the case.

[slh]

Wireless on the BT Home Hub 5 Type A/ BT Business Hub 5 Type A and Plusnet Hub One should work just fine out of the box, it does on my BT Business Hub 5 Type A.

But this does not look that good:

[spacebiscuit]

I have installed a previous version 18.06 to see if that fixed anything - now i see this:

and...

Note the frequencies have no options om the drop-down selects.

I am guessing my hardwae is toasts or drivers are not working correctly/missing.

[frollic]

Well, it might be the (possibly) missing ART data that's making it fail....

Should be able to get it from someone with the same product, here at the forum.

[spacebiscuit]

Thanks - is the ART data different to the nandbackup? I did make a backup per the recommendations of the guide which I still have.

[frollic]

if you did a full flash dump, then it should be in there.

assuming you did, another option might be to roll back to the dump you took.

[spacebiscuit]

the nanddump file that I have is 62mb in size, so flashing that via the usb to serial method should restore the orignal firmware which should then enable me to verify that the wifi works, am I thinking correctly?

[maccoylton]

Did you ever get this fixed? I run 3 x Plusnet Hub One to cover my house. 2 as access points and one as switch&router. Happy to share configs if that helps
