We recommend a USB Wi-Fi adapter which does not require non-free firmware[1]. However, if you have already bought it, you will need to setup non-free repository and install the 'firmware-ralink' (assuming that your device is Ralink RT5370). FreedomBox setup script will also not automatically turn into a access point, you will need to do that manually from the Plinth interface. > > I have tried the following approach: > > 1. install the default debian image from olimex (A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 > Debian Jessie with kernel 3.4.103+ release 3) > > 2.

I also noticed that no 'fbx' user was created. This is probably another firewall related issue. There is another thread related where we discussed a solution[2] Not creating 'fbx' user is as intended since you already have login access. > Is there another way to install freedombox?

The recently built Lime2 images are much more hassle free and are known to work. 1) https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/USBWiFi 2) https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2015-November/007033.html -- Sunil
