Adding WIFI manually

1st Official Post

    HI,

    I have bought a crappy Android media player, i now made it much better with Libreelec.

    Only problem, there should be Wifi on it. Is there away to install Wifi manually?

    You haven't shared any details of what kind of crappy Android box it was (Allwinner, Amlogic, Rockchip, etc.)?

    Thank you for your quick reply,

    Its a MXQ Pro 4k with a Rockchip. If i am correct.

    Maybe you can tell me if i can check it somewhere so i dont tell something thats not correct.

    It was probably visible under Android. It won't show under Linux (if it did, the WiFi would probably work). You'll need to open the box, take pics and share them so someone can see what wifi chip/module is used. Then if someone has enthusiasm, some device-tree experiments can be done to enable the card or add the missing driver - no idea what the issue is until we know what hardware is involved.
