I’ve more or less started using my One Up as my main machine and daily driver… but there is one serious problem.
WiFi-connectivity is horrible. If I sit near my AP with no obstructions it’s alright, but as soon as I move away I’m unable to even connect. And in the exact same spot my i[Device] and other laptops work rock solid.
I’m willing to test whatever solution there might be because currently this is really a showstopper at the moment.
Make sure that dtparam=ant2 is in config.txt to enable the external antenna
After looking at my config I can confirm that ‘dtparam=ant2‘ was indeed missing. Perhaps I missed that instruction when I did my initial installation.
I’ve added it to my config, below other global dtparams:
> sudo cat /boot/firmware/config.txt | grep -A3 -B3 ant2
dtparam=audio=on
# Enable external antenna on the WiFi chip
dtparam=ant2
# Additional overlays and parameters are documented
# /boot/firmware/overlays/README
and rebooted and connectivity has improved.
Is there a way to probe the wifi-driver for which antenna is in use?
