Re: Can one suggest a wireless adapter for an AmigaOne?
« on: November 13, 2024, 11:58:11 AM »
I bought a new AmigaOne X5040 two months ago but a friend and an IT technician
have been unable to configure it to access the wi-fi network in my community through
the included Opal "wireless travel router".

Another IT guy here recommended an Archer T2UB Nano wireless adapter, but
it only works with Windows. AmigaOS 4.1 doesn't see it.

Has anyone had a positive experience connecting an AmigaOne to the Internet?

Regards
Gary

I don't know if this is of interest to you, but I have had great success hooking up a Sam440 Flex and a Sam460LE to WiFi through a Universal WiFi Range Extender. I've used Netgear model WN3000RP V1H2. This one you plug into the wall socket and you can connect an ethernet cable from your AmigaOne to it and then you are Online. 8) It is easy to set up as well. Hope this helps.

Using a PC or a mobile phone, which is the easiest way, you select your wanted wireless network during the setup of the adapter as shown in the guide below.

Guide for setting up the extender:

Once that is done, connect the AmigaOne with an ethernet cable to the adapter. You can then run the "Connect to Internet" wizard on AmigaOS 4.1, choose Ethernet and auto for configuration, and it should be ready to use. :) Afterwards, the computer will treat it as a normal cabled connection and connect on startup when you boot AmigaOS.

Really though - why don't you just create PSK "hotspot" on your phone and let the Opal connect to that instead?

That is a great idea, kolla! Maybe that is worth trying, garyg? Connect your phone to the network, then make a hotspot the computer can connect to? :-)
