Could not connect to Wi-Fi

Can you both try connecting to wireless using the command line tool connmanctl. This will rule out (or implicate) the networking GUI.

To do so you’ll either need to temporarily connect Ethernet and run the command via an SSH session, or plug in a Keyboard and exit Kodi to log in at a local console session:

Once you’re logged into a command prompt the following demonstrates enabling wifi, scanning for networks and connecting to an authenticated network:

osmc@rpi2:~$ connmanctl

connmanctl> enable wifi
Enabled wifi

connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi

connmanctl> services

Let us know whether you are able to connect this way or not.

(BTW connmanctl has a very useful help command)
