All -
Since my Squeezebox Classic is out of commission waiting for a new wall wart, I decided to move my piCorePlayer to the family room, where my main system lives. Unfortunately, at the same time I upgraded my wifi to cure some long-standing problems in my home. The cure worked, but my new system - a Netgear Orbi mesh network - doesn't play well with my RPi3. The pi can't see the router's 2.4g network.
Here's what I've done so far:
- I've logged into the RPi directly to make sure everything is running and wifi is turned on. It is and it is. Of course I've tried to connect the wireless network from within the RPi, with no luck.
- On the router side, I've moved the 2.4g network off its automatic setting and have tried a variety of channels - 1,9, 8, 6, all with no luck.
Every other 2.4g device I have sees the router fine. Is there anything I can do on the RPi side to improve things? A dongle? A new setting inside piCorePlayer? (I'm running 5.x, btw). Anyone know if version 4 of the Pi has the same issue?
tks,
s.
