External [Realtek] AC dongle not detecting AC net's

Hi Sam,

After the update my AC dongle stopped to detect AC net’s, he only detects N’s.

Thanks,

Suggest to provide URL of dmesg ¦ paste-log also may need to check the WiFi country domain setting.

Hi,

The result of dmesg ¦ paste-log: https://paste.osmc.tv/umaxadaxik

Where can i check the county domain???

While it might not be solving the issue but I suggest you first update to the latest kernel from yesterday evening
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

first install crda
sudo apt-get install crda
Then check with
iw reg get

Upgrade done.

This is the log now: https://paste.osmc.tv/ucacazodin

I can’t check the AC connectivity till the evening. I’ll post the results.

Thanks,

This is the result of iw

country 00: DFS-UNSET

(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), PASSIVE-SCAN
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN

Which indicates that country is not set. While I assume you still should be able to connect to your 5GHZ network (as the none specific country is open) I still suggest to set it correctly with sudo iw set <2-Digit Country Code>

Set the country code (Spain-ES):

root@osmc:/home/osmc# iw reg set ES
root@osmc:/home/osmc# iw reg get
country ES: DFS-ETSI
(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
(5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 26), (0 ms), DFS
(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

i run iwlist wlan0 scanning but AC still not shown. There is another AC net but not mine.

Well that would indicate more likely a problem with either your network or the signal strength.
What is the channel you are using on your 5Ghz?

I have other devices working with this AC (iPhone, iPad, Macbook) without problems. The channel is 108.

Gotcha!!!

I changed the channel to 44 and there it is!!!

Sorry for the trouble, thank you very much!!!
