We strongly recommend using a USB wifi dongle, ordered from us, which is tested and supported in IPLOG units.

Connection and Configuration

1) Plugin WiFi Dongle into USB A connector
2) Download the OPKG package
Connect IPLOG with Internet connection or install the package in offline mode.
For online installation open SSH connection via Putty and go on with next commands.

root@iplog:~# opkg install linux-fw-rtl-81xx

3) Reboot IPLOG unit
Now is WiFi Dongle ready for using. For configuration you can use appropriate configuration files or used configuration via web interface see example below.
Configuration files are saved in /etc/ directory
