Title: ObiWifi adapter not recognized
Post by: neilio on July 05, 2012, 03:17:57 PM
Wondering if anyone knows of a workaround or fix for this -- I've got a brand new OBI202 w/ the USB wireless adapter but it's not recognized by the device. I've tried power cycling and removing and re-adding the USB adapter but it's still not seen by the OBI202.

Any ideas?

You probably need to upgrade the firmware on the OBi. Wireless functionality was added later.

I noticed that just after I first tried plugging in the adapter and installed the upgrade. Didn't work for the first half-dozen times I power-cycled the router, but suddenly started working just now. Not the most confidence-inducing!
