Hello, I just bought a wifi adapter for my Zgemma h5 with openpli 7.2 but when connecting it does not appear as a network adapter.

 

The adapter is a tplink t2u plus with the ralink 8812au chip, I have seen that it is supported by installing an external module and although I have installed it by telnet it still does not work. What I can do? Thanks you.

Did you restart the box after installing the driver?

 

Can you post the output of

lsmod
lsusb

Yes, I have installed the module "kernel-module-8812au" and restarted it. The output is:

Please stop formatting your posts, those large letters are very annoying !

 

Device 2357:0120 is currently not supported by the driver, the device is newer than the driver is.

Sorry, I was using the translator and it causes me typographical errors. Is there no way to get it working? If so I will return the adapter.

I'll have a look.

Can you remove the installed driver

opkg remove kernel-module-8812au

and install the attached one instead? And restart your box after you've done so?

Yes, I have unistalled the above module using: 

opkg remove kernel-module-8812au*

After I have restarted and trying to install the attachment an error appears: 

root@h5:/var/volatile/tmp# opkg install kernel-module-8812au-4.10.12_4.3.14-r0.0

Was afraid so, the hardware has specific driver requirements that are not supported by this driver.

 

There is newer source, but integrating out-of-tree drivers into 40 or so different linux kernel versions (we need to support 3.2 to 5.5) is a big pain and lots of work.

 

So don't expect anything soon, or at all...

Still, thank you very much, you are very kind. I will return the dongle, do you know which one I could buy which supports 5ghz wifi and is compatible? At the moment I have it connected by cable but the ethernet port is only 100mbps, I suppose that with the 5ghz wifi it would go faster. I'm wrong?

I don't know, I personally stay away from any wireless if possible.

 

A cable is a lot more stable, and for most applications 100Mbps is more than fast enough.

 

Don't forget wifi is a shared medium.

 

If your kids iphone in the bedroom makes a connection to the same AP, your box can report 400Mbps but still only have 1Mbps throughput because the iPhone connection limits the speed of the AP.

Okay, I think I'll keep using the cable then. Thank you very much again, greetings
