Can't connect to wifi

Software SW help
1

Hi there

Fresh 3.8.1 installed but I can’t connect to wifi. It seems authentication is all fine, but 2 smart phones and 1 notebook get stuck at “Obtaining ip address”

2

And for completeness, devices connected via ethernet will get an address?

3

yes but I have no entry in luci’s active dhcp leases despite one notebook connected by lan

4

Ok, I did reset the whole TO… set it up again… then I could connect to wifi… now I did set hostnames through the luci interface… assigned a hostname to the notebook (lan) and smartphone (wifi).

Despite having saved and applied, hostnames did not work.

So I rebooted the TO. Now the hostnames seem to resolve, however with my smartphone I’m stuck again at “Obtaining ip address”

5

Did reset whole TO again… and still can’t connect to Wifi… it’s stuck at “Obtaining IP address”

also the Windows 10 I can’t connect to it… well, it does connect in the end but it has a weird ip 169.254.182.137 and no default gateway…

6

After reseting again, updting to latest firmware and enabling “Enable DHCP clients in DNS” I couldn’t even get a proper network connection through ethernet to the TO.

7

That’s something with DHCP or even lower in the stack. 169.254.*.* are local fallbacks in case of failing to obtain an address. (I’m sorry I can’t help more.)

WTF? Resetted again to original firmware… let it autoupgrade… and again I don’t get ethernet or wifi connection…

9

So, firmware reset again, let it update… after it update to 3.8.1 I can’t connect with wifi again…

WTF???

Have same problem.
Had to do a factory reset, the first setup works fine. After that upgrade to newest OS wifi fails and ethernet is always working like for 15 secconds and then need to re-plug it.

Am stuck on the original FW until there is a solution…

Hi,
I have the same problem.
When factory-reset to version 3.2…, all works just fine.
But when updated to 3.8.1, Wi-Fi stops working immediately and LAN follows soon after.

Turris team, may we ask you to please take a look into this?
I’d rather use all the features and all the (not only security) updates than to be stuck at with and obsolete version of the system.

Thank a lot
