Wifi does not come up automatically

    • New

    Howdy,

    I am totally new to libre.elec. I installed it on a raspi 4. Since my wifi key is really long I have enabled SSH on the box and setup wifi using this howto: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/conf…n-libreelec-ssh. In order to do this I put the box into my office, where I have an ethernet port available. Wifi works very nice then.

    But when I put the box back into the living room and connect it to the TV, then wifi doesn't work anymore, this message appears on the screen:

    No I could possibly enter the key, but this would be a tedius task. So, why doesn't it come up with the readily configured wifi? Or does Kodi have somehow a different wifi setup than the OS below?


    Many thanks in advance,

    Tom

    It's a long-running issue that impacts a small number of users. It is not RPi hardware specific. Things that may help:

    • Disabling fast-transition (FT) in access-point radio properties
    • Not using WPA3
    • Moving the device closer to the access-point to improve signal strength

    It is probably an issue with iwd (as reverting to wpa_supplicant works around it) but it remains unresolved largely because nobody who can replicate the issue has code-level fault finding skills, and nobody among project staff or regular technical contributors with such skills can replicate the problem.
