Hey everyone, I have been using the BBB now for quite a while and I really like it. There is only one persistent problem I do not seem to get rid of. So I hope you can guide me into the right direction.
I am using the Ourlink wifi dongle <https://www.adafruit.com/products/1012> to connect to the internet and wicd-curses to set up the wifi. Initially it seems to work fine. However, quite often the dongle disconnects and I am no longer connected to the internet. I am unsure how to proceed or what I could try. A couple of observations/comments: - I am using an external usb hub <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005A0B3FG/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1> and the beaglebone is also powered from a 5V wall plug <https://www.adafruit.com/products/276>. So sketchy power supply should not be the issue as some people indicate. - Interestingly wicd-curses still indicates that it is connected, however the router does not confirm that and I cannot connect to the BBB. - It seems to happen more often when I try to run BTSync to push a lot of data through the BBB to an external HDD. If it sits just there and idles it can be online for days without problem. Do you guys have any advice what to try? I am quite lost and the internet does not give me any more help... Thanks!
