800 wireless n

    I know actually wireless n is not supported
    But it would be great especially on HD models (i have a DM800 with a ralink rt2870) since transferring a movie (and especially a HD one) to pc will take a large amount of time
    Any plan to support it in future?
    I know that ralink has linux drivers that should work quite well

    Or anybody here in the forum can compile ralink rt2870 drivers ?
    Thanks

    Take it here Tested long time ago and working. One problem - you cant configure wireless by GUI...Need edit RT2870STA.dat.


    Unpack ZIP
    Install rt2870sta.tar.gz
    Create directory /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
    Copy RT2870STA.dat to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA and configure it (learn README_STA)
    modprobe rt2870sta
    Be happy;)

    Many thanks but... i need some more help
    I have[Moderator] Image is in violation of the Boardrules [/Moderator] and from install menu can only choose ipk and nab packages
    how do i install a tar.gz?
    can i install it manually from telnet?

    I'm quite near
    Installed and configured everything and now wlan is seen
    One question: do i have to set wlan plugin options?
    When i try to do that, setting my SSID and a static IP, and apply the configuration, enigma crashes and loose all my settings


    That's what i get in crashlog


    WLAN-MODULE None
    setting for adapter ra0 attribute configStrings to value None
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/mytest.py", line 179, in processDelay
    callback(*retval)
    File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens/NetworkSetup.py", line 608, in applyConfig
    self.ws.writeConfig()
    AttributeError: 'AdapterSetup' object has no attribute 'ws'



    Any idea?

    I'm afraid you simply can't, as far as "enigma®" said that you can't configure it by GUI.
    Set SSID manually changing it into RT2870STA.dat and leave DHCP on :winking_face:

    DM 920UHD - DM Two - DM One - DM 7020HD-v2 - DM 7020HD

    I changed manually RT2870STA.dat
    But i guess in some way i have to tell to dream to use wlan instead of ethernet connection
    If i don't configure anything but the dat file, wlan in not checked in wlan plugin and seems not active

    What model of usb wifi stick do you use ? i tried this one on a linksys wusb600n and it did not work.

    If you use this command "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices"


    What does it say (the part about usb wifi...)
    it should look like this

    I have a dlink dwa-140
    After trying for 1 week i gave up
    can't tell what i"cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" says. Just installed a new image and dind't even try to use these drivers

    Here's my cat /proc/bus/usb/devicesoutput
    But when i try iwconfigthe card is not seen
    T: Bus = 01 Lev = 01 Prnt = 01 Port = 01 Cnt = 02 Dev # = 4 Spd = 480 MxCh = 0

    Mine is exactly the same
    But drivers poste by Enigma seem not to work
    iwconfig says
    eth0 no wireless extensions.
    lo no wireless extensions.

    Update: after installing drivers manually (copyng them into the folders) and rebooting dwa-140 works with drivers posted by enigma

    sorry not at home at the moment... (will get back with more detail later)


    No, i'm using a linksys wusb600n.


    ps here are my iwconfig

    Thanks for informations
    Anyway now it's working with drivers posted by enigma
    But performance is quite poor (i have only 800 kb/s) so i will come back to my previous wireless client that with its external antenna reach 1.5 Mb/s
    Hoped that wireless n could increase transfer rate
    Can you tell me which transfer rate you reach when saving a file?
    Thanks

    ps here are my iwconfig

    I've tested the transfer speed.


    Got 1.1-1.3 Mb/s on upload/download with G , when i use mixed mode G/N without making any changes to the config other than g/N mixed.
    then i reached 2.2 - 2.5 Mbs at peek.


    /Gmack

    Well guess you are closer than me to the signal, i can't reach 1 mbs in n mode
    Thanks

    /Gmack

    well i have about 5 m between router and the dm800, no walls. because it's a test setup


    Here are the drivers, should work with following device id's

    Hope this will help someone :smiling_face:
