Raspberry Pi 3 - ***Wifi Mega Thread***

@the_bo

Edit Solved: by removing the line dtoverlay=sdhost from config.txt. Seems sdhost is already enabled.

Yeah we just confirmed, having dtoverlay=sdhost in config.txt will disable wifi as certain parameters are not set. So if you had that in there from previous times remove it as it is enable by default.

Does anybody else have those ridiculous ping delays with packet loss
or is my PI3 wireless card dying due to bad drivers??

Has anybody at all the wireless card working correctly? if so how? I have banished my pi3 to the closset to be a nas on a lan cable for now …

[sam_nazarko]

We will improve the WiFi performance on Sunday’s update

@Hein_Koster

Has anybody at all the wireless card working correctly?

Yes, working fine here with powersave disabled (see earlier in this thread)

— router ping statistics —
5326 packets transmitted, 5325 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.079/5.220/40.019 ms

Suggest:

1. Switch off power save as discussed in this thread or wait for the updates on sunday.
2. Don’t expect too much from the tiny antenna on the RPi3 especially when mounted close to the TV. Maybe check this External antenna modifications for the Raspberry Pi 3
3. Check the Wifi link with wavemon and also check your channel overlap with other networks (e.g. on android phone “Wifi Analyzer”)

on my new raspberry pi 3 wifi will not work.

i followed those thread, but nothing to do.

Enable wifi under GUI

Hi, I am using Machine model: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1. I am having issues connecting to the router using my wifi dongle. It was working flawlessly until I upgraded my ASUS TR-n18U router firmware last week. Since then my wireless dongle has not been connecting to my router. As mentioned at the start of the thread. using connect wifi_somethingsomething_managed_psk, I get an error message “Connect command not found” I ran the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to ensure th…

Please don’t double post!
And as dbmandrake said in your other thread.
Make sure you don’t have dtoverlay=sdhost in /boot/config.txt

[Andrea_Bisello]

sorry, i write here because this is the raspberry pi 3 wifi and i write in the linked post because there we talk about wifi under gui. i think this thread is better than the other for raspberry 3 but information are in the other so i’m confused.

in the other thread DBMandrake suggests me about wifi adapter, but raspberry 3 have not wifi adapter : wifi chipset is embeded.

my boot/config.txt file is

gpu_mem_1024=256
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
disable_overscan=1
start_x=1
dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
disable_splash=1

NOOBS Auto-generated Settings:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_edid_file=1
gpu_mem_256=112
sdtv_aspect=1
dtparam=gpio_in_pin=18
gpu_mem_512=144
dtparam=gpio_out_pin=17
dtparam=audio=on

but connmantcl -> technologies show me any wifi connection.

what should i try to do? thanks.

@Andrea_Bisello

but connmantcl -> technologies show me any wifi connection.

I assume you mean it doesn’t show wifi, or?
Post the output of connmanctl technologies it should show something similar as below.

Also post the URL of grab-logs -J

osmc@osmc.my.hk:~$ connmanctl technologies
/net/connman/technology/ethernet
Name = Wired
Type = ethernet
Powered = True
Connected = True
Tethering = False
/net/connman/technology/wifi
Name = WiFi
Type = wifi
Powered = False
Connected = False
Tethering = False

[sam_nazarko]

We don’t even know if he is on the latest version.

Would check that first.

[fzinken]

As Sam wrote also make sure that you are running the latest version of OSMC.

[Andrea_Bisello]

i installed OSMC with noobs and i updated everything (or maybe i think)

Those are the logs

root@osmc:/home/osmc# grep Kodi .kodi/temp/kodi.log | head -3

thanks again

@Andrea_Bisello

i installed OSMC with noobs

As you have a NOOBS install did you try the wifi with any other OS?
Also if you are not planning to install any other OS it is recommended to install with the OSMC installer instead of NOOBS.

[Andrea_Bisello]

yes, noobs wifi detecting works good and also raspbian wifi.

i need to install osmc because kodi doesn’t works as application in raspbian ( freeze system ).

i cannot use only osmc because it doesn’t have a browser and i want to use my raspberry pi 3 also to use cloud9 as cloud development ide.
