Hi all,
I have LibreELEC and Kodi installed on a Rpie 3.
When I go to connections to select Wifi, there is no entry at all in this dialog.
Ethernet works great though.
How can I activate Wifi or why is it not appearing?
cheers,
oger

Hi, sorry, it took so long to check.
LE 9.2.6
Can not enable Bluetooth. It says Bluetooth not available.
What puzzles me is, that it says RPi2.arm
But I'm sure RPi 3
Hardware it says: BCM2835
total memory 747mb
cpu speed 600 mhz
on the board it says pi 3 model B version 1.2

Something is fishy with your wireless chip (no WiFi, no Bluetooth, wrong hardware detected). Test with Raspbian now. If you don't get wireless options on Raspbian, too, buy a new RPi.

I made another SD card with raspberry os.
I also updated the firmware of the Pi.
On the top menue I can not select Wifi. I says no wireless devices found.
Is there a diagnostics tool I can install that checks the pie for errors?

I don't know such tool, and I don't think it exists. It's pretty obvious that the chip is dead.
If you don't want to buy a new RPi, you could attach a WiFi dongle. Unfortunately USB WiFi drivers are a game of luck for RPi. That's why we don't give a buyer suggestion for such hardware.
If you can accept 2.4GHz WiFi, then I suggest to buy a WiFi-over-Ethernet adapter. They only have 2.4GHz, but the Ethernet driver avoids any issues on RPi.
