Sudden loss of web connection

[Jmac101]

Hi
I set up MoOde (64 bit latest version using an Rpi 4 (via rPi imager to SD card)) going to an external DAC via USB. I was using this mostly with Airplay from various Mac devices (an old  Mac running Big Sur, an Ipad and iPhone). Everything worked fine until one day nothing would connect to moode.local

I have reimaged the OS, swapped out different RPi 4s, rebooted the wifi router a few times and got nowhere. I can only get things to work with an ethernet cable connected to the Mac, but nothing I do seems to get the wifi working. As soon as I disconnect the cable ... nuffink.

I've followed the set up instructions as best I can being a computer newbie, and suspect there might be something ery simple I'm not doing right but am clueless as to what to try next.

Any bright ideas.

The symptom "Everything worked fine until one day nothing would connect to moode.local" suggests something external to moOde software for example a network, power supply, boot media or hardware issue.

To troubleshoot, reboot and then post the contents of the startup log.

The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from the any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

Thanks for such  quick response


To get this log I had an ethernet cable from the Pi4 to the router. MoOde works with the cable connected to iether router or my Mac, and will airplay from the mac, but doesnt seem 'visible' to my phone or iPad.

It looks like the WiFi adapter has been turned off in System Config?

If thats the case, please turn it back on and then with ethernet still connected reboot and post the log. It will show whats going on with the WiFi connection during startup.
