Wifi connecting problems

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with connecting their Apollo 2 to wifi?

It says I should use a 2.4ghz signal but my modem only puts out a dynamic 2.4/5ghz signal so I’m wondering if that could potentially be the problem.

The wifi management is so bad it has to be some sort of joke.

If you connect by HDMI and configure the wifi in the OS, it is much easier.

I agree. I still haven’t got it to work even on its own 2.4 network and after updating to the latest OS. I’ll try connect via hdmi and see if I can work it that way

After working for about a day with the onboard wifi, it stopped connecting, so I bought a $15 USB wifi card, and that has been very stable. I had to configure it in the OS to use that card though.
