Starting from v1.10, it is possible to connect a MOD unit to a wireless network. We can achieve this by using a WiFi USB dongle, connected on the back of the unit.
Please note this is an advanced and experimental feature, currently requiring knowledge of command-line.
Step 0: Connect MOD unit via USB
We need to setup a few things on the unit, so it must be connected over USB first so we can SSH into it.
Step 1: Enabling custom firmware
Download any custom firmware that might be needed for your USB device. The linux-firmware repo https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git is a good starting point.
Then, create /data/firmware directory, and copy the firmware files inside. Something like...
ssh root@192.168.51.1 "mkdir /data/firmware"
scp rt2870.bin root@192.168.51.1:/data/firmware/The SSH password is "mod"
Step 2: Create WPA config
Create the file with the following contents: (adjust as needed for your network)
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
network={
ssid="MyWiFiSSID"
psk="password-goes-here"
}
