  • Pi3 wifi dongle not found

    From RobH@3:770/3 to All on Fri Apr 8 17:03:35 2022
    I have been running Motioneye on a Pi3 with the official? pi wifi dongle
    in my garage for the last 2 years.
    Recently , due to firefox updates and restarts in linux, the web address
    can't be reached.
    I've checked the wifi signal in my garage to the wifi point in the house
    and the strenght is 75dBm at 50mtrs. I've tried another wifi donle with
    an antenna, but that is the same: Unreachable.

    As soon as I bring the pi3 into the house, motioneye is loading fine.

    Any ideas as to why this is suddenly happening

    Is there perhaps somebody else also on the same wiFi channel?
    Change channel?



    Not that I am aware of.
    The distance is more like 50 feet not mtrs as I sated in my OP. The wifi analyzer app said it was that.

    I got it working earlier today, but after I reloaded the motioneye gui,
    the signal was lost!!
