I can’t seem to figure out how to connect to a wireless network. When running the installer, I configured my network properly, but plugged in to RJ-45 ethernet to download the OS, as stated on multiple forums. As an additional issue, I can’t find anywhere in the GUI to do so. Is this only solved by a clean install, or can i do it from the command line or the GUI?
Thanks!
Did you follow the instructions in the WiFi GUI thread that you posted to? You said there that it didn’t work but you aren’t giving us any info as to what point it failed?
The operating system does not need a network connection to download. It did with Raspbmc, but not OSMC.
You can set up WiFi in the installer. Then it should work after first boot. Our settings app is not ready for Wi-Fi set up yet so you’ll need to do this during install.
Cheers
Sam
@sam_nazarko I’m not having download problems, it’s already downloaded. I’m just not able to actually connect to WiFi to stream from YouTube, etc.
@ActionA It doesn’t fail at any point, it simply doesn’t even give me the option to connect. I did configure it in the installer, but it doesn’t find the network or connect to it.
Tell us what chipset your wifi device uses and we’ll make sure it’s included in the future.
@ActionA I’m pretty sure it’s a Realtek 8188CU, which should technically work. It’s the same chipset as the popular Edimax adapter.
Could be a missing VID PID combo
Can we get some dmesg output?
Cheers
It’s super long but here you go:

I’m plugged in with Ethernet right now so I can SSH into it.
Indeed.
I’m seeing what we can do

Hi Sam & team - Im experiencing exactly same issue on RPi 2 unfortunately?
Wireless network settings were correctly entered during initial setup - but it is not connecting after install/boot of OSMC (and no options on screen to modify)
Im using a TP Link WN721N wifi-adapter (which works absolutely fine on this Pi2/Raspbian setup)
Appreciate any advise or fix please? Esp since its my first attempt at using OSMC (given its Raspbmc pedigree) over any other xbmc distribution… Cheers
When the Wi-Fi set up will be available? I tried to connect to a different WAP after my initial installation, the WiFi detects it but there is no options to put the security Key to connect to the new WAP. Also WiFi only works if the WAP SSID is broadcasted. If it is not, there is no way to enter it manually. Is this something that will be enabled in the future?
So to change to a different WAP I need to re-install?
Are you running RC2 ? The Wifi GUI is working just fine in RC2 for WPA and WPA2 and Open networks.
Hidden networks are not currently supported but we are adding support for them, probably available in the next release.
