WiFi not working on Mecool M8S PRO W (SSV6051 chip)

  • I bought a Mecool M8S PRO W 2GB/16GB a while ago and decided to try LibreELEC 8.2.3.1 yesterday. I couldn't boot with any device tree in the S905X folder, except gxl_p212_2g_slowemmc.dtb. After boot, I noticed that the WiFi was working partially - networks were showing in the Connections tab, but some of them were duplicated and the SSID's differed by one letter (for example DEFAULT_SSID and DHFAULT_SSID). Trying to connect to both of them failed with Network error: Input/Output error.

    Is WiFi working for someone with the SSV6051 chip? Does anybody have the slightest idea why this is happening?

  • Yes, it has the S905W. Though I don't see the relation to the dead WiFi.

    The relation - S905W is not full supported in this old LE version
    As there is no actual amlogic development, You can try CoreELEC and hope WiFi is supported

    Or use cabled network -> best choice

    I tried CoreELEC and AlexELEC - the same problem exists.

  • Have the same box, also WiFi is not working as you described in 1st post. Only difference is that my box is working with gxl_p212_2g and is booting from internal.
