"Invalid Key" also happens for on Libreelec official 10.0.4 on a Raspberry Pi 4.

For me moving the Pi closer to the access point (TP link EAP-615) removes the problem.

I note that the signal is not actually that weak when the problem occurs - in the problem location my TV can stream via wifi in full UHD, and also my PS5 has no issues.

Indeed - if I allow libeelec to create a connection by having the Pi closer to the access point (only 1 metre closer - albeit maybe interference comes from the TV), and then return my Pi to the problem location, the connection remains fine, and it works.

However, if I then leave the Pi in the problem position and do either a hard or soft reboot, then usually (but not always) the "invalid key" problem has returned.

Happy to supply more info to enable resolution if someone can point me in the right direction. This is very reproducible for me.

These are some of the logs that frakkin64 mentioned.

Pi nearer access point and working for initial connection (mac removed):

Moving away to problem location, leaves libreelec still working, with reduced rx bitrate.

Note - in multiple tests here I saw rx bitrate drop to ~14MBit/s, but also it would recover as high as 130Mbit/s )
