Hello to everyone,
I'm running 7.4.1 on a USB signature player and have been running 7.2.0 for a while. Issue I'm going to report is valid for the two distributions.
Unit is connected to the network with Ethernet. I can configure the Wifi connection with no trouble. It reports level -57dBm. Moode interface may be reached either by Ethernet or Wifi. As soon as Ethernet cable is disconnected, Wifi access does not work any more. Wifi IP address is not pingable. When the unit is restarted, I have to connect the Ethernet cable to reach the interface. Going back to network setup, I noticed the WIFI mode switched to Access point. I have no clue on how to sort this out. Does anyone is having an idea?
Thank you very much

What WiFi adapter is being used?

AP mode will be activated if no IP address was assigned to wlan0 interface after waiting for up to 9 seconds. There should be entries in the Moode startup log like below.

Code:
worker: wlan0 trying SSID (name)
worker: wlan0 no IP addr for SSID (name)
worker: wlan0 AP mode started

Normally WiFi clients associate to Router and get an IP address almost instantly. Try rebooting Router.
Enjoy the Music!

Thanks Tim, I will look at the Wifi model in a short while. I'm currently enjoying musicWink I'll let you know. However the thing that puzzles me is the deconnection of the ethernet cable that shutdows the wifi connection at the very same time. I have no problem to connect to the wifi interface when the ethernet cable is plugged in. I have problem either to setup wifi. How could this happen? Weird isn'it?

I did some more troubleshooting. It turns out that having both Ethernet and Wifi set-up as DHCP triggers the defect, that is (again): disconnecting the Ethernet cable drops the Wifi connection as well. Conversely, having Ethernet cable connected "allows" Wifi connection to get is IP Address from DHCP. Anyhow I set-up Wifi as static and I have no more issues. Maybe it is worth to check whether is can be reproduced on your side?

No issues on my end.

Your network configuration must not be typical home Router because client is on 192.168.21.y address space but DNS is on a completely different address space 103.86.96.y

Thanks Tim for your help. DNS : this a DNS that is configured to be used by LAN1 (instead of the one that is advertised by the ISP). I reverted to 7.1.0. No issues. With this version, I noticed that DNS is reported as 192.168.21.1 which is what is set in the interface (see herebelow). On the other hand, as you noticed with 7.4.1 DNS is reported as 103.86.96.100 while it is set to 192.168.21.1 in the interface (I reverted to 7.4.1 to double check this). There is cleary a different behaviour. Really strange. Could it be the reason of the problem I reported?

Please find here below the startup file for 7.1.0

some more info. Currently running 7.4.1 and removed the specific DNS setup at router level. No more issues and DNS 192.168.21.1 is reported in the startup log file. This is a clear difference between both moode version. Is it what triggers the issue?
