Yes it was directly in front of the router - it had to be because I had to run a short cable from the router to connect by cable temporarily. Firewalls hadn't changed, but tried it without - no difference :-(. I experimented with DHCP & assigning addresses. No joy.

So....

I had a Pi 3b+ doing another job, and I swapped the brand new LE card into it - connected to the network 1st time. I tried the original LE card in it. Connected to the network 1st time.

I thought then it must be a the original pi 3b must have got a fault. I swapped the machine that was doing Libreelec into the job the other pi was doing, and it worked 1st time with no changes.

Grasping at straws, I wonder if the "bios" of the pi 3b that I was having problems with LE with, was not as up to date and couldn't cope with something the router was doing.

Whatever - it now works.

Case closed.

Hi, I've been using a RapsberryPi 3 with LibreElec sucessfully for ages. My router started acting up, so I replaced it today. Both routers were Linksys WRT series models and both have exactly the same settings. All my devices work except for the LE one. On that, I get the wifi swapping between associating and idle. It just won't connect.

I made a brand new sd card and installed that. If I connect via an ethernet cable, then I can ssh in, use connmanctl, agent, scan wifi, services, connect {WIFI NAME}. That worked. Then I disabled the wired network, edited the Wifi connection and told it to connect automatically, then told it to reboot, and then I'm straight into the same associating - idle - associating - idle loop and it doesn't connect.

I've tried changing the Wifi channel to 10. I've tried explicitly setting my country to GB.

I'm at a loss. As far as I can see the router settings are the same on the new router as the old one (it is a newer model though). ALL my other devices work perfectly.

Any ideas? I can only connect to a cable while setting it up. Its usual location has no cables.

It's similar to this problem : RPI4 Network Error: Input/Output Error for wireless

I tried looking at the logs but couldn't find any errors. I not managed to copy one as frequently once it gets stuck in this loop, it sometimes reboots after I enable the wired network.

Where would I look in the logs for network errors.

Incidentally, my original SD card won't do the connmanctl sequence. It doesn't ask for a password at the connect stage, it just displays an error and won't continue.

Help please!
