LibreElec 8.01 lost wifi connection

Hi all.

This is the first time I wrote here.

I'm also new of the raspberry and libreelec world.

I have a raspberri pi 3 with LibreElec 8.01 and all works fine except the wifi connection.

I don't know when but in 24 hours it lost connection to my wifi router (connection in STATE: FAILURE).

Sistematically.

What can I do ?

Thank you and sorry for my terrible english.

If you are using the onboard wireless, it's not brilliant. The easy solution is to use an external USB dongle.

I already use the original raspberry external dongle.

Maybe I have to disable the onboard one.

If yes how ?
