wifi connection and local time

f6birf6bir
in Configuration and Operation
since I installed the connection by wifi, kiwi can no longer find the time and does not work correctly no audio and very high latency if I reconnect the wired connection everything is back in order always using the URL of wifi connection.

    Hi, Rene! Maybe wrong time in your system? Try correct clock and use ntp...

    For sync clock with ntp server manualy you can use ntpdate from SSH:
    sudo apt install ntpdate -y
    sudo service ntp stop
    sudo ntpdate 0.fr.pool.ntp.org
    sudo service ntp start

    Hi Yuri,
    Thanks for replay, the utc time is correct by GPS only the local time is missing, if I connect the ethernet wired link everything becomes ok again

    Rene, when you wrote about wifi connection you mean you added wifi USB dongle to BBG and configure new wifi interface on the debian?
    About screenshot, I seen same result with wire connection when ntp protocol from local network was blocked and BBG could't update time correctly. It's display wrong UTC time and symbol "?" on local time, because curl to timezonedb.com return error. Of course maybe my case only looks like yours...

    Hello, Yes i added wifi USB dongle to BBG and Kiwi run with it (camanserville.no-ip.biz:8074) without wired connection.
    I have 2 kiwi and i have the same problem on both, if I put the wired connection all the local time will be ok (camanserville.no-ip.biz:8073)



    Just with the wifi dongle if I test Time =

    Interesting, you can start this curl from SSH manually, for your data it's looks like:
    curl -s --ipv4 "https://api.timezonedb.com/v2.1/get-time-zone?key=HIHUSGTXYI55&format=json&by=position&lat=49.220001&lng=2.210000"
    This request return something when KiwiSDR on the wifi connection or not?

    I assume your wireless access point/router does not have extra filtering for wireless clients?
    For example does it separate the wireless clients from each other, or wireless from LAN clients?
  • f6birf6bir
    hi, good question but where can I check this, I also noticed that I disappeared from the kiwi map when I was only in wifi this would explain that
    Thank you for your relevance

  • PowernumptyPowernumpty
    Assuming the device you set port forward on for the Kiwi is also your wireless access point, and has a web interface, I would check for a wireless section.
    Perhaps there are settings like "Security", "Client Isolation" or even "Guest network" that last one is normally more of a problem if the user is trying access services.

    I could be completely wrong on this but I'd like to know those settings are off, and ideally the router is turned off, then ensure the Kiwi is NOT connected by cable and the router turned back on.
    Sometimes if the wireless is blocking traffic, going from Ethernet to Wifi can retain some network setting and give the impression it is working but not fully.
    A cold-boot to wireless only should give us a clearer idea of the condition of WiFi as the Kiwi sees it.

    The "-s" in "curl -s" (silent mode) is preventing us from seeing any error message if the connection is failing.
    What happens if you do: 
    ping 50.116.2.70
    versus
    ping kiwisdr.com

    I'll bet this is a problem with DNS not working with WiFi for some reason (router configuration problem?)

    Hello and thank you for your suggestions.
    Concerning the box and the router, I have already checked or even modified certain parameters without success.
    I realized the manip proposed by JKS here are the results for the two kiwis and on a Raspi (and all other) connected to the same wifi network without any wired connection at the same place for the three devices. It seems to be a specific problem at BBB
    Admin / console access on the 2 kiwis are rene7890 for a while.
    camanserville.no-ip.biz:8073 or 8074
    and ssh pi@camanserville.no-ip.biz same PW for the Raspi/OpenWebRX

    The default gateway of your first kiwi is pointing to the disconnected eth0.
    The second kiwi doesn't have a default gateway at all.
    So the systems don't know how to reach the internet.

    There seems to be something going wrong when setting up the ip configuration of the wlan0 interfaces. I don't remember how it is done in the kiwis "stock" configuration, since I modified mine quite a while back.
    Is it via /etc/network/interfaces ? I don't remember.
  • cathalferriscathalferris
    I ended up using connmanctl to set the configuration of the interfaces, as I was trying to get wireless working on the Beaglebone Black. I now have the pair of Kiwis almost identical in setup.

    Amusingly one of the Kiwis decided that the wireless card would work again, but would only talk to the network on the ethernet connection. This meant that the Kiwi thought the ethernet was not the LAN, and required the use of passwords for local admin access etc. Went in with connmanctl and disabled wifi, problem resolved.

  • f6birf6bir
    I modified the network config, (wpa_supplicant.conf and interfaces) now the two kiwis are identical, the problem is not solved for all that tomorrow I will use connman to redo a new config
    Thank you for your help
  • HB9TMCHB9TMC
    The default gateway is still missing.
    If the configuration is done using /etc/network/interfaces, then you can add "gateway 192.168.1.1" (assuming that is the ip-address of your router) to the wlan0 section.
    Or for a temporary solution you could do "route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0" in the terminal.
  • f6birf6bir
    hello there was an error in the word "gateway", do you think this is correct now, but still no positive result
    thank you

  • rz3dvprz3dvp

    OK, for working with any Internet services (DNS, NTP, kiwisdr.com and other) system need default route via correct interface, it's can be add via DHCP options or manually. Of course if interface down - any routes related with this interface gone down too.
    Hope you can configure routes for wlan0 interface.

    See camanserville.no-ip.biz: 8073 or 8074 same default on both kiwi and tell me if everything looks correct to you

    Rene, for test try edit with nano /etc/resolv.conf file and add string:
    nameserver 8.8.8.8.
    After that you can resolve DNS names from BBB, but it's work temporary, for first reboot...
    I don't know how you configure IP on wifi interface, but if you use connmanctl you need to use something like:
    connmanctl config <<your_wifi_service>> --nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

  • PowernumptyPowernumpty
    When I played with connmanctl and general Wireless networking on the AI I found it ran fine for a while then would seem to "do it's own thing".
    I think the manual system conflicts with connman and visa-versa.

    Perhaps see if you can exclude connman on that interface?
