This install is barely modified. Since flashing the eMMC all I have done is to change the root password. Create a new user account with sudo access (which is what I'm currently logged in with). And of course, enabled wifi by uncommenting the following lines in /etc/network/interfaces
Code: Select all
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "essid"
wpa-psk "password"
Once I reboot my board I am able to ssh into the BBB through the wifi dongle. However after a minute or two the board comes near to a standstill. Typing in commands is delayed for about 30 seconds. They do eventually appear, and in batches so they are being cached at some point. Pinging Google also works, but very slowly and with about an 80% packet loss.
Thinking the issue may be due to not enough power from the USB connection I switched over to a 5V 2A power supply (linked below) and am still having the same issues:

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks,
