I don’t see anything strange in your logs, except one thing that you had mentioned previously:
May 25 13:50:27 osmc wpa_supplicant[363]: bgscan simple: Failed to enable signal strength monitoring
While on my system, the signal strength does not show correctly, I don’t get that error.
It does look like you are on 5.2Ghz and channel 155?
Try what I suggested above and reinstall the drivers. I’m thinking you don’t have the correct ones.
Router is 5GHz channel 40… I have made the changes but ping suggests it’s still flaky
rpi/osmc still doesn’t detect 2.4GHz devices
So you did the dist-upgrade? Did it make any difference? More stable?
Depending on what your WirelessMode is set to, you may not see 2.4Ghz networks.
I not sure, but the dist-upgrade may have over written your .dat file, so check it out.
Yep…did the upgrade. Stability is so-so. Ping results vary from time to time.
The .dat file hasn’t been walked on…all ok.
edit…found iwconfig & installed It comes with wireless-tools
If stability is better, you may try some of the different settings that we’ve tried at this point.
Start with WirelessMode would be my suggestion.
What does iwconfig show?
Before I paste result, is there anything in that output that would be a risk to security?
There shouldn’t be, but you can PM it do me if you’d prefer.
If PM works the way I think it does, I’ve just sent it.
Got it, I’ve replied to you.
That’s not quite right.
Should be.

What are you pinging to measure stability? What does ping 8.8.8.8 show you?
Ok…I’ve made the repository list changes & rebooted.
Got frowning man initially but it went away & continued ok.
ping 8.8.8.8 shows

Which IP is that?
8.8.8.8 is a Google server. If you can sustain 7ms on that, it means the WIFi connection is stable.
Not always reported accurately.
Not sure about that – if you remove the firmware file (or mv it to a .bak), does it work? The latest version of the driver allows for stateless configuration.
Sam
That’s the ping if the rpi ip
I’m trying to ssh into it to save the firmware file but the connection keeps dropping. Stable?
Anyway, I’ll post when I can get in.
Have you done this from the Pi itself?
I think you confused Sam by doing it from your computer
@fzinken Hmmmm… I believe you are correct. My mistake.
Now if I could only get a connection I could try it again.
I’ve rebooted using my other dongle & renamed the firmware .dat, rebooted with the OSMC
dongle but still no connection.
“Status: wlan0 (no internet)” even though the device scan shows the dongle as connected…
ps one bit of progress is that the device scan is now showing 5GHz & 2.4GHz devices
Ok…after much head scratching here is what I’ve done.
Per a previous suggestion, I’ve booted with the OSMC dongle & turned on debugging. Then rebooted.
After checking that the problem still existed, I’ve replaced the dongle with the one that “works”.

Hope it helps.
