My Vero V networking is poorly

I have my /media shared via SMB, and it recently disappeared. I tried to log in using SSH (I had a PuTTY connection set up that has worked fine in the past), but was unable to connect.

So I went to the GUI on the telly, and firstly the System Info is displaying 'Busy" for IP address, Operating system, System uptime and Total uptime. What’s that about?

When I go into MyOSMC and disable and re-enable the wired network interface (configured via DHCP), it manages to get the IP address I expect, plus subnet mask and DNS settings, but not the default gateway, and it says ‘No internet’. However, my router does not indicate that it has a DHCP lease. I do trust my router (OpenWRT, hence not susceptible to nobbling by my ISP). Not sure if the Vero V might be using cached DHCP info, and if so how I’d flush it.

When I try to connect to my WLAN, it fails to do so. I tried multiple times, and verified I was using the correct password by disconnecting/reconnecting my phone.

Version info says

Build 21.2 (21.2.0)
Git: 20250723-osmc
Compiled: 2025-07-23

Other info - I recently had to replace the power supply - the HDMI input on the TV indicated no input, and ‘plug out power cycle’ brought it back, but the boot was very extended, and it went quiescent again, this time irretrievably, within hours.

Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I just got another Vero V ahead of Trump’s ‘World War Fee’, but it is for another location, so I hope this one is not beyond fettling back to life!

Very obvious suggestion but does rebooting the router and then rebooting the Vero change anything?

Any opportunity to attach an Ethernet cable if it happens again so you can upload some logs?

He was using “wired” when it was happening.

@iainf I believe only other suggestion is to disable DHCP and try to enter IP and Gateway manually

Panic over! I tried replacing the network cable and now it’s right as rain.

Glad it was something so simple!

As for the Wi-Fi not working - possibly because it doesn’t grok WPA3 SAE? I wasn’t planning to use the Vero on wireless when I set that up, so…

WPA3 will be your issue.
