Have you tried temporarily connecting to Ethernet, checking for and installing updates through My OSMC, then trying the wifi adaptor again ?

@DBMandrake yeah mate even talked to sam about it he suggested the same I tried it but didn’t make no difference ive looked at how to compile driver myself but I failed I’m not good at that stuff so I thought id put in a support request

@LittleJay hi mate ive noticed that you have the same wifi dongle as me which I cannot get to work. have you got this thing to work yet as ive tried to install it manually but my Linux skills are crap any help would be much appreciated thanks

There is another thread but I saw this request thread later, so adding the required info here.

TPLINK AC600 / archer T2U, this is an 802.11ac adapter.

I am currently using Raspberry pi 1 and moved from Raspbmc to OSMC yesterday. However, the wifi dongle that was working fine with Raspbmc is not working with OSMC.

The connmanctl> scan wifi command gives me the following error on OSMC

osmc Error /net/connman/technology/wireless: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

However, while running Raspbmc (the last stable build), the wifi works fine and I see the following:

usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg
usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0ace, idProduct=1215
usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-1.2: Product: USB2.0 WLAN
usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: ZyDAS

Could you please add support for this dongle to Raspbmc? Thank you for your help.

Did you attempt to use the OSMC settings addon to config this?

Hello @ActionA , thank you for your prompt reply. I did try to change things around in the settings section. I enabled and disabled the wireless network option in settings. When I enable the wireless network, OSMC tries to scan for networks but could not find any, even though there are bunch of wifi networks (including mine) around. I installed OSMC twice, once by giving wireless network credentials during installation and once without, but no luck.
Also, I could see that the light on the wifi dongle is blinking when plugged in with Raspbmc running while it is solid with OSMC running.
Since my connmanctl (and dsemg) prompts do not show my wifi dongle with OSMC, I assume that it is that lack of drivers which is causing the problem.
I moved back to Raspbmc for now but would appreciate any guidance for making this work with OSMC.

Looks like it’s on the list to be included. Likely won’t be included in the October update but should definitely be in for November update.

Thank you so much @ActionA . I appreciate your help. Please do let me know if you want me to send any additional information.

D-Link DWA-171

Since the update to OSMC October 2015.10-1

I am able to enable the wireless adapter, connect to a wireless network briefly shortly after a fresh boot.
But wireless connections do not hold for more than a very very short time. I have been able to push a little bit of data, but the connection drops and no SSID’s are listed when I check the wireless network.
Wifi scanning results are limited, if any listed at all, when I know that there are wifi AP’s in range.
Tried a few wifi routers and disabling security and same results as above.

lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/001/008 -vvv | more

Chipset is not listed, but this I think it is RTL8821AU

lsusb -vvv -t

Driver=rtl8812au

Which I think is the right driver.

Let me know is any more info is needed. I could not figure out how to output the lsusb -vvv results to a file. So had to do it the old fashioned manual type out.

Please help me and my OSMC media center :slight_smile:

Hello @ActionA . This is just a gentle reminder to include the support for my dongle in the November update. Thank you for your help.

I need dmesg output

Hi Sam, thank you for your reply.

I plugged the wifi adapter as the last usb device.
Also had the ethernet connected at the time.

hi: did u have usb TP-link archer t2uh
i face this problem when i use some scripts like linset or ht-wps master
aircrack etc, error so:
Mon0 :unknown interface: no such device

This thread was supposed to be about adding support for WiFi dongles.

And you reply after a year with a problem running a script? Please take your problem to the authors of the scripts/packages you are trying to use if the dongle is working otherwise.

If the dongle is not working at all, then post in the Help area, and include logs.
