Cant acces available wifi networks

[ppbulnes]

Rpi 3B

Wired coneection works w/out problem, but:

In Raspbian:
I cannot access the networks that show as available. Enter the password and there was not even a dialog box showing whether the connection was successful or not.

In Libreelec:
Same, cannot accees neither, bur librelec shows the following message: Network error: Inpu/output error

didnt find this as a solved issue, please help.

Thanks,

What's in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (redact the password and post it here).
Is the wireless AP running with WEP security?
Is the wireless AP running with a hidden SSID?

[ppbulnes]

In the file:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_suplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=PE
network={
ssid="Arris-2dF5" <---------- yes, thats my network
psk="a1234567" <---------- yes, thats the pswd
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

How i check the rest? I didnt make any changes to my router or even to my phone. the Rpi just stopped connecting and after trying some stuff in this forums, i just installed a fresh image of raspbian and libreelec (both in separated SDs).

Thanks for your patient.

You'll get some info from a wpa_cli status command.

You'll get more from iwlist wlan0 scan from iw dev and sudo iw dev wlan0 scan.

You'll also get some info from http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.0.254 or http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.1.254 (one of those is likely to be your router's configuration page).

Spot the difference!

ssid="Arris-2dF5" is not equal to ESSID:"ARRIS-2D5F"

Change it to

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_suplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=PE
network={
                ssid="ARRIS-2D5F"                  <---------- yes, thats my network

               key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

The same is true for your password, beware that "a1234567" is not equal to "A1234567".

[ppbulnes]

How i change it?

[DougieLawson]

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

[ppbulnes]

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=PE

network={
ssid="ARRIS-2D5F"
psk="a1234567"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Done, but nothing happeneed.

[DougieLawson]

Have you tried rebooting your Wireless Access point?
Have you tried connecting your Raspberry to some other network?

You could try "COUNTRY=US" or "COUNTRY=UK" to see if there's a bug in Wpa_Supplicant for Peru.

There's also the ICON on the Raspbian Desktop which should pop-up a connection menu.

Last option is grab a new SDCard, grab a copy of Raspbian Buster 2019-09-26 and see if that works.

Have you tried rebooting your Wireless Access point?:
Yes.

Have you tried connecting your Raspberry to some other network?:
Yes, my ipohne, my neighbour's, and is te same: i can see the network, but cant coonect. Actually, the previous reports, shows also the other available networks.

i'm tring this with 2 sd cards: 1 with raspbian and 1 with libreelec, and i have the same problem. I think is not the OS, not my network, and not the SD

[DougieLawson]

You may need to conclude that your hardware is broken.

[ppbulnes]

any chance to blame the firmware or some hw update?

[DougieLawson]

Not if it fails with a fresh download of Raspbian Buster 2019-09-26 (or NOOBS 3.2.1).

[ppbulnes]

Thanks very much for your help, Dougie.
I´m goin to call it.
Time for a Rpi4 maybe?
