RE: how to configure wifi - mk01 - 14th Oct, 2013 08:38 AM you can start XBIAN CONFIG from within XBMC to configure networking or log with ssh into your install and start text version of XBIAN CONFIG with "sudo xbian-config" mk RE: how to configure wifi - hilfer - 14th Oct, 2013 06:25 PM (14th Oct, 2013 08:38 AM)mk01 Wrote: you can start XBIAN CONFIG from within XBMC to configure networking Hi mk01 : Inside xbmc I go to system > network , but i don't any option to select my wifi !!

RE: how to configure wifi - IriDium - 15th Oct, 2013 03:26 AM I think this is a prime candidate for the Wiki. RE: how to configure wifi - resinis - 18th Oct, 2013 03:14 AM I want to add something. People always get confused when it comes to installing usb wifi adapters on the pi, not to mention the fact you have to setup a usb hub in most cases which make things cluttered. A simple and more robust way to do it is use a router. I use this one- http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?categoryid=241&model=TL-WR702N All you do is setup the router itself as an access point or repeater. Once you do that, its a matter of simply plugging it into the pi via the ethernet port. No configuration on the pi, it just works, and no usb port taken up. RE: how to configure wifi - mk01 - 18th Oct, 2013 03:26 AM would be combo box with 4xTP net + 5xUSB (as HUB) ideal? this would be something for RPI. nobody is doing manufacturing it yet?

So now you need to find someone to start making these and selling for reasonable price ![]() ![]() RE: how to configure wifi - mk01 - 18th Oct, 2013 09:18 AM Riso, yes, you got the point. RE: how to configure wifi - Sytten - 19th Oct, 2013 04:56 AM Hi, I just want to add something before you close the post, I had trouble with my cheap wifi dongle (with the realtek rtl8188cus chipset), but I edited manually the interfaces file and now it's working, check out this link if you need more info: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58436&p=439727#p439727 Sytten RE: how to configure wifi - hilfer - 20th Oct, 2013 09:48 PM Let me tell you one more thing. I never thought it could work so smoothly.( I had tried openelec , raspbmc etc..) All mkv , and big HD files are playing with no interruptions and this through wifi.It's really fantastic. Congratulations to all the XBIAN developers you have created a awesome piece of software. |
