I’m trying to use wifi on a RPi3. Installed RopieeeXL without an issue but after pressing the scan button no wifi network is displayed. After this, I installed Ropieee on the same RPi3 and the network was detected after pressing the scan button. (Same thing with the latest 08-14 version, as with the previous version).
So, it seems I have an issue with the RopieeeXL image. I downloaded another copy but the issue stayed. Anyone else heving this issue and hopefully a workarround? Any pointers would be appriciated.
Hi Stefano,
Yes, strange enough Ropieee has no issues on the same RPi3, wifi scan works. Looks like this is an XL-image for RPi3/Zero2 with the issue. (This is a different image than the one for the RPi4.)
Thanks @spockfish , there is indeed no wifi, but the interface says otherwise:
Status 1 - wifi disabled
Status 2 - wifi enabled toggle and configured
Status 3 - result of pressing scan button.
I re-downloaded the image (compressed and uncompressed), but still the same issue.
Strangly enough, the Ropieee image has no issue. Once i toggle the wifi, it detects and selects automatically the correct wifi network.
Same result, as in the screenshots I sent you.
As you say, I would also not expect any difference between the XL version and the non-xl version. However, the non-xl version works flawlessly.
Just tested the XL-version with a wifi dongle and it detected all local networks.
Now, after removing the dongle and a reboot, the onboard wifi detected the network!
Posting in this old topic as Google puts it on top, the issue is still there and I just stumbled on the solution.
So the cause for no Wireless network listing is that TCP ports 8080 and/or 8081 are blocked, be it locally from the browser, or via the firewall to the device.
Once those are allowed, not just port 80, then RoPieee UI works as expected.
