Adding WiFi to the NVIDIA Jetson
Troubleshooting
If you experience intermittent WiFi connection through this adapter open a terminal window and enter the following command to turn Power Saving Mode off:
sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
[Enter]
You may also have a second wireless device present when using the Edimax WiFi adapter. This will show up as wlan1. Repeat the command for wlan1 as well if the issue continues:
sudo iw dev wlan1 set power_save off
[Enter]
Then reboot your Jetson Nano:
sudo reboot now
[Enter]
If you try this and a number of the Troubleshooting methods, try burning our JetBot image to your SD Card. This image already has the drivers for the USB WiFi adapter installed and should work out of the box. For detailed instructions on how to install the JetBot image, please read through the Troubleshooting steps in this section of our JetBot Assembly Guide.
