Pluto via wifi

Try to reduce the bandwith down to 550 kHz

Hello Robert,

will test it tomorrow again with my Son Benedikt, DO4DY. He installed the wifi.

Hi DL3DCW,

my nano station 5 works very well. Which firmware works on your Pluto? I have problems in narrowband, it stutterd a little bit, bandwith 550 kHz. Could be the firmware!?

Hello everybody

Like my father (DL6DCA) reported, we have established a WiFi connection to our Adalm Pluto on the basis of 2 Nanostation M5 in the 5 GHZ band range.

The problem as reported was that we had a stuttering connection at any bandwidth, we were able to solve this problem with a new network card (Linksys USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter).

now the transceiver works very well.

To reset the adalm pluto via the network, we use an ssh connection by logging in and sending the command Reboot to the adalm.

Here is our structure in the block diagram.

Linksys USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter

Hello Benedikt, tnx for report your success

How did you connect this Ethernet Adapter to the micro USB from Pluto?

And how get the Pluto his power?

Robert

Hello Robert

We use a Y-cable (adaptare 40228 USB-OTG adapter cable micro-USB 2.0 plug USB socket type A + power connection for external hard drive and other devices) from amazon. The power supply is also possible via this cable.

DO4DY Benedikt

Ah, ok, tnx for info.

Interresting, this adapter and Pluto supports only USB 2.0

Why does it now work without stuttering? Maybe faster signal processing in this 3.0 Ethernet adapter ....

Anyway, will also try it

Hallo ...

i am using a WIFI Bridge... (6cm) ...since one year now...

no problem detected until now... worked like a charm and like on the cable connected LAN....

edit: giving me 80Mbit in full duplex with low delay ..no problemn with Pluto SDR in NB (SDR Console) and DATV

It can of course work to integrate the Pluto into the network via wifi.

However, this tends to lead to packet losses and dropouts in the NF.

I tried this with a powerful 5GHz wlan, but I wasn't happy. Networking using Ethernet cabling brought the required performance.

A lot of real-time data is transferred between Pluto and the PC with the following bandwidths:

Short breaks in a uniform data transmission in the wifi can now lead to known dropouts.

Hallo ...

if you are using the right WIFI-Modules with higher Bandwith 802.11n or better 802.11ac it will be no problem ....

Like i Wrote

Hi plutonians,

about connecting Adalm Pluto wi-fi...... Despite the information below:

https://wiki.analog.com/univer…otg_host_function_support

The tests I made with Realtek chipsets results:

Realtek 8811CU dual 2.4/5GHz NO

Realtek 8812BU dual 2.4/5GHz NO

Realtek 8188FTV 2.4GHz only NO

Realtek 8188EU 2.4GHz only OK

Only last one worked (550K max bw). Does anyone tested with another chipset, I am particular interested on a dual band wi-fi since 5GHz

allows much higher bandwidth.

Well. I got a clear response through AD Support Community about this issue.

Hi Ed,

You can find the list of WiFi adapters compiled in the Pluto kernel here: https://github.com/analogdevic…figs/zynq_pluto_defconfig

As you can see driver for Realtek 8188EU is included but for Realtek 8812BU and Realtek 8811CU there are no drivers in 4.19 kernel version used by Pluto. I think that even in latest version of kernel there is no support in mainline for those chipsets.

So the only solution is to compile on your own, using one of the git repos, the driver required for the 5Ghz chipsets.

Or find on the pluto defconfig a chipset that is already supported and use that.

Regards,

Bogdan

The good news is that Evariste F5OEO is aware and will try to implement Realtek 8812BU in his next fw release for Pluto

Benedict & Wilhelm - you gurus!

I bought 2 Nanostations M5 and also Linksys USB 3.0 Ethernet-Adapter - but:

• If I connect my PC (SDR Console) via Ethernet cable via a router to Linksys OTG and Pluto all works as expected. Even pluto.local works as URL.
• if I connect my PC (SDR Console) via router and Nanostations to the Linksys OTG all ports are filtered (as NMap told) and nothing works.

How did you configure the Nanostations (Bridge/Station/Router/DHCP)?

Thanks Andreas

Hello Andreas,

please write me mail mycall@darc.de and i will send information.

Yellow all. I am again interested in connecting Pluto via Wi-Fi @ 5GHz. Any updates regarding this, already some known wi-fi dongle that will work ?
