RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - psychofaktory - 09-21-2019 That feature has been requested for several times now. I've posted an instruction how you can turn Moode to a real Access-Point for MoodeOS 4.1: Turn Moode to a real Access-Point I didn't test if thats still working in MoodeOS 6.2.1 I would appreciate this as an integral feature part of MoodeOS, as at least some other users have this usage scenario. @Meestor_X: If you find a better/easier way to achive this in MoodeOS 6.2.1 I would be happy if you share your solution with us. RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Meestor_X - 09-21-2019 I'm not really a networking expert, so I don't know that the difference is between having both wired and wireless interfaces working at the same time and making MoOde into a "real" AP. I would just like to have both working together. I'm not sure if getting rid of the "if" statement that Tim alluded to will also get rid of any "delay" that there might be before enabling the WiFi. My "feeling" (not confirmed) is that MoOde polls the wired connection for several seconds/minutes to see if it's connected before enabling WiFi AP mode. I'd also like to eliminate that delay. RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Tim Curtis - 09-21-2019 System Config, Wait for eth0 address, set to OFF RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Meestor_X - 09-27-2019 Thanks, Tim. Setting that OFF doesn't make much difference. There's still an extra minute+ of time before the WiFi is enabled. With my RPI3 it's 30sec from boot to ready via wired. It's 90sec from boot to ready via wireless with Wait for eth0 OFF, and it's 135sec from boot to read via wireless with Wait for eth0 ON. Is that a limitation of the RPI's wireless system or is there another delay in the MoOde software? RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Tim Curtis - 09-27-2019 Have a look at the moOde log. It will show exactly how much time it takes for eth0 and wlan0 interfaces to acquire an IP address from your Router. moodeutl -l - or - cat /var/log/moode.log RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Meestor_X - 10-09-2019 On my RPI3+, with Wait Off and Wired disconnected, here is the log: Code: 20191009 141751 worker: - Start Not sure how to read this.... How many seconds is that? RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Tim Curtis - 10-09-2019 The time is in 24 hour format for example 14 = 2PM. The other digits are minutes and seconds. The elapsed times from your log are perfectly normal. I see similar times on a 3B that comes up in AP mode. Just remember that these times only represent how long it takes moOde startup sequence to complete. It doesn't include the time it takes Linux to boot to the point where it runs /etc/rc.local script which launches the moOde startup daemon, worker.php. Code: 20191009 141751 worker: - Start Code: 20191009 141756 worker: wlan0 exists RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Klatsoot Nekry - 03-06-2021 Hi, all. May be poking a dead horse, here. Got Allo USBridge Signature. Want to use wifi for interface, use ethernet to network with Rasp Pi 4 NFS server (with attached hdd that holds my music collection). Why? Two reasons: not possible to run ethernet across my apartment (music setup is in living room, wifi router in bedroom); read that galvanic isolation of ethernet makes it a better way to connect to hard drive. I know that I'm sacrificing audio quality, maybe, by using wifi dongle (which I have yet to get working!). Anyone point me down the appropriate paths? RE: WiFi (AP) and CAT-5 together - Tim Curtis - 03-06-2021 Recommend a single active network interface to ensure max reliability. Whats not allowed during startup is AP mode and Eth both active.

Be assured that you're not altering sound quality in the slightest by using WiFi, the LAN is not part of the audio chain at all. Just use WiFi. If for some reason your WiFi isn't working or is unreliable get yourself a pair of Powerline network adapters. |
