OURLINK wifi range

Post by danielemc2 »

Hello,
I recently bought your OURLINK USB wifi adapter that was listed to work with the BBB.
It did not. After spending about 10 hours messing around with this device I finally got it to work.
The main secret is that it only works within 10 feet of the router.
All of my other devices connected to the router work great up to 100 feet.
Do you have a fix for this or can you send me an RMA?

I am running the Ubuntu distro. I have a 2.5 amp 5 volt supply running the board.

Thanks Daniel

I received the replacement OURLINK wifi adapter.
I spent another 3 hours wasting my time trying to get this to work with the Beaglebone Black.
The reason you don't have a tutorial showing this works is because it doesn't.
I saw in another post the Adafruit tech responded with "It ought to work".

How can you advertise something is compatible if you haven't tested it?

Please Please Please send me an RMA to return these devices.
