Hi !
First of all, I’m french so sorry for my poor english…
I bought a Vero 4K last week and received it two days ago.
All work perfectly except the wifi.
I can’t explain why but i’m unable to see my Wifi network on the vero 4K.
But I see others wifi networks (neighbor’s ones), and more particularly i can see other networks coming from the same internet service provider (“Free”).
I already try to :
- reinstall last version of OSMC with an SD card, first boot without ethernet and follow the installer, my wifi didn’t appear.
- I also tried the connmanctl trick using ssh console, my wifi didn’t appear after lot of tries.
- That’s not a question of distance, i tried at 2 meters away from my router and it didn’t find it.
My Wifi network is broadcasting, all of my other peripherals can see and connect to it.
It’s protected by a WPA (TKIP + AES) [It’s an old router so it doesn’t support wpa2] key and I already tried to put a fixed canal - canal 2 - but it didn’t work.
Any idea of the origin of the problem would be very appreciate.
Many thanks !
Do you see WiFi under My OSMC -> Network?
Is it a 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz network? What channel is it on?
Yes, Wifi is of course enabled in the adequate menu.
Assuming that’s an old router, I was not sure so I just checked and it is a 2.4Ghz network on a fixed channel 2.
If you haven’t installed it already, CRDA might help. From the command line:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install crda
Then edit file /etc/default/crda (eg using nano) and set
REGDOMAIN=FR
(assuming you are in France.) then reboot.
Yeah I’m in France.
I just tried your method, no problem occurred with it (well I think), but after a shutdown and power on, I’m always unable to see my Wifi network. :’(
But thanks 
No problem. But CRDA is worth installing anyway.
Please run grab-logs -A and let us know the URL is returns. We can then see what is (and isn’t) happening on your machine.
Alright, here it is :

(Just to say, waiting for a working solution, I use my iPhone as a wifi AP to use ssh console)
Ok, I just tried something :
I changed wifi security protocol from WPA “TKIP + AES” to “TKIP” and my wifi network appeared ! 
So it was apparently an incompatibility with TKIP+AES…
Is it already known ? 
Actually, in the log it seems to connect successfully to the router and get an IP address of 172.20.10.11:

IP address 172.20.x.x is a valid private IP address, but 172.x.x.x addresses are less commonly used.
Edit: This looks like it is connecting you your iPhone, right? Sorry, I was expecting a log trying to connect to the router. Can you provide a log where it tries to connect to the router via WiFi?
Yes in this log I was already connected to my iPhone, in order to be able to connect to the console with ssh.
My problem was not to “connect” to my router, but to FIND it.
It never shewed up at all (on GUI or using connmanctl, no matter the method) in the available wifi networks list… until I changed from WPA TKIP+AES to WPA TKIP.
I don’t know if you understand what I mean ?
Since we were trying to debug a WiFi connection to your router, it would have been more sensible for the log to demonstrate the problem.
But the log shows that WiFi on your Vero4K is working correctly.
As to the problem of connecting to WPA-TKIP/AES I think the issue is that AES was not a part of the WPA standard, and was introduced with WPA2. The WPA standard is for TKIP only and AES was possibly “bolted on” to WPA by the router manufacturer in a way that is incompatible with current standards.
Yeah I should better use ethernet to connect to the ssh console to obtain the log, but I did’nt think to this solution before, sorry… 
So it confirm that WPA AES is an “hybrid-network” not compatible.
Good to know for future others users in the same case.
Thanks you very much for your support !
