Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 4 sometimes is not starting WIFI connection?
hi carsten_h, I don't think there is a general problem with piCorePlayer like you describe... if there was, lots of people would be complaining! I use 2.4GHz wifi exclusively. I do a lot of my development on RPi's over wifi and I reboot many times a day. Of course, there could be a unique combination with your network and piCorePlayer, or something special with your pCP setup that highlights a hidden piCorePlayer issue. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110582 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hello! It is not a problem of the WIFI signal to have bad quality. It is only that piCorePlayer is not getting an IP address via DHCP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 4 sometimes is not starting WIFI connection?
Did I mention the "Network wait" command on the [Wifi Settings] page. This was added for some USB wifi adaptors that were very slow to negotiate with DHCP. Unlike yours, these adaptors were always slow, not intermittent. If you dramatically increase this value it might give you an indication if the backgrounded DHCP eventually occurs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 4 sometimes is not starting WIFI connection?
Did you use the same audio card on the "another Pi 3B+ at the same place but with Raspbian"? Way back, I have seen problems with built-in wifi and some audio cards. I would just add a USB wifi adaptor in this case and turn off the built-in wifi. I can't remember the exact combination of RPi and hifi board and software unfortunately.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 4 sometimes is not starting WIFI connection?
How many times did you restart Raspbian vs pCP. Your original post said sometimes...With wifi, intermittent problems are almost always signal strength issues.Raspbian might have better fault tollerance with the many daemons running in the background. That is a trade off when running the lightweight pCP. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

It is 5m away from a Mesh-repeater, so I switched first yesterday to 5GHz to see if it makes any difference. The connection is good, I hope that DHCP is working there.

Looks OK to me. How far away is pCP from the router? I'd be inclined to try a USB wifi adaptor to see if its more reliable.
