Intel Galileo Gen2 -wifi connection

[pmanj]

Hi,

We have to connect our Intel Galileo Gen2 board to the internet as we need to download OpenCv library on our Galileo board.

We are given only one wifi antenna cable. When I search for wifi connectivity to Galileo board I saw posts with two wifi cables.

Is it possible to connect Intel Galileo Gen2 board to wifi network with a single antenna cable?

Also,can you please share the necessary steps in connecting wifi to Galileo board?

Thank you.intel_adminintel_corp

Hi Poornima,

Thank you for your interest in the Intel Galileo board. It should be possible to use a single antenna cable to connect the Galileo board to a Wi-Fi network. The only downside is there will be a limitation on the Wi-Fi range. It is recommended to use two antenna cables. There is a guide to setup the wireless card with your board, please check the following link: https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-galileo-windows-step4Regards, Ezequiel
