RaspberryPiWiFi
In terms of packet loss and latency, a direct cable connection is by far the best. However, in some situations it is not possible to use a cable. If the WiFi in your area is of good quality, you can also use it for the ov-client.
This page describes how to enable WiFi on your Raspberry Pi-based ovbox.
The use of WiFi on the Raspberry Pi based ovbox is only working since version ovclient-0.4.58-c2d74fa. Please check your device version in the Device Settings section of the configuration web portal.
Please also note that the file format has changed since version 0.4.84.
The SSID and password of your WiFi must be stored in a file on the SD card of your ovbox. Please disconnect your ovbox from the power supply, wait a few seconds and remove the SD card from the card slot.
Now insert your SD card into the SD card reader of your PC. Please
locate the file ovclient-wifi.txt on the SD card and open it with a
text editor. The first line in the file should be the SSID, the second line
the password, e.g.,
mywifissid
abcdef123456
Now remove the SD card from your PC and put it back into your Ov-Box. From now on it should connect to your WiFi.
Please note that the device will appear with a different device ID when used with a WiFi connection. This means you may need to reconnect the device to your account.
To disable WiFi, simply remove all content from the file
ofclient-wifi.txt.
