Bad start new box please help

Yes Tony its a RealTek RTL8192CU

IIRC correctly you should install the kernel-module-rtl8192cu package. So you'll need to login and run:

opkg install kernel-module-rtl8192cu

After a reboot this will then be used in preference to the rtl8xxxu kernel module.

If you can't login because of the network you can install it via a USB stick.

• Download it to the USB stick via your PC. You'll find it at:
  

  http://www.openvix.co.uk/feeds/openvix/release/4.2/hd51/hd51/kernel-module-rtl8192cu_4.7.4-r0.0_hd51.ipk

• Insert this USB stick into the hd51.
• On your box, go to the Vix Backup Manager menu, press Menu then Chose local ipk's folder.
• Navigate to the folder with the downloaded ipk in and press Save
  
• Back to the Vix menu and select Install local extension.
• Press Extra IPK's and the kernel module should be there.
• Select it and press OK.
• Once it has finished restart the box.

Thanks, Gordon - have replied to @JIZZSTER separately, but you have put all the necessary steps in your post. Soon we will have a live release version that will handle this scenario!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue - thought it might be more widespread

Would need some more detail.

• Did you shutdown the mutant, or did the connexion just disappear while the system was running?
• Are you using DHCP, or are you using a static IP address?

Saw your pm this morning @jizzster - better this is handled on-thread as it spreads the knowledge. I must say that I haven't had any issues as my box is in deep standby most of the time so it reboots every morning and always re-establishes connection with the router ok. I'm using DHCP, but I allocate a fixed IP address in the router to the dongle MAC address. Best probably to turn on debug logging and reboot the box to check the connection attempt. Have you tried rebooting the router?

Tony thank you I bought home plugs so that problem solved onto the next one
