Unable to connect to Wi-Fi.

[KAREL]

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi.
I have updated to version 1.0.6 it now will not recognise my Wi-Fi password. I also have updated my Internet to BT fibre which has the new Smart Hub the iPad and smart phones connect without a problem. I have two droid boxes which have the same problem also a friend has two boxes with the same problem. Could it be the software updates and the Smart Hub are not compatible. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Hello @KAREL

Make sure that Password you are entering is correct, check upper case/lower case letters
Also try to switch to Ethernet if possible and see if that works
If you are still not able to connect your Box to your WIFI then try to factory reset your box by following the below video:

If it still doesn't resolve your issue then contact DBX at [email protected] with Order details and also mention that you have posted about an issue in DBX forums.

Good morning Shah and Edwin thank you for your replies.
The password is correct as the iPad and smart phones work.
Ethernet is working okay.
The problem is on my two boxes and on my friends two boxes.
I have only had fibre Wi-Fi and BT Smart Hub for three days prior to this my BT set up worked perfectly.
I am now going into the admin screen on the hub to see if I have missed something.

After resetting the hub and the droid box would not connect to LibreElec I then went to android more settings now have Wi-Fi connected. As the box was resetting this message appeared E: cannot load volume / misc!
LibreElec still will not connect.

Do you mean librelec won't connect to wifi or won't open when you click the switch icon?
If you can get into librelec you can try librelec wifi from kodi - programs - libreelec configuration - connections, and see if you can do it from there.

Hi Nigelar
The problem is I type the password in LibreElec click on connect I get this message network error invalid arguments.
This problem is with my two boxes also my friends boxes.
The two boxes will connect with Ethernet to LibreElec.
Android will connect with Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

Purely as a matter of interest, do you or your friend have any special characters in your password? There was an old LE bug which i thought had been fixed.

No I am using BT' default password working with iPad smart phones and Android.

I am clutching at straws then - try disconnecting the Ethernet cable.

@KAREL Can you try a factory reset please?

Also, if you happen to use the SDFix application normally, can you not install it for now please. A solution is being worked on.

Hi Chris
Have done a factory reset as you recommended I am getting this error message what does it mean?
E:Cannot load volume / misc !
When the password is entered I get this message
network error invalid arguments
Do you think it is time for me to send these boxes back?
Thank you

The /misc message appears on fully functioning devices, so can be safely disregarded.
Can you send us an e-mail please - [email protected] , and include your order number/address. We'll ensure you can connect in both operating systems. If this can't be done remotely, we'll sort it in the office.

Update on my problems
First of all thank to David and Chris three day turnaround how's that for service.
The boxes were flashed with the original software and are running okay I am not going to up date the latest software 1.0.7 for a while.

Update I have downloaded the latest LibreElec update and now can connect with Wi-Fi but it is random turning the box off and going back later it is not online so you have to connect again.
When you turn off with the red button on the remote the blue light on the box remains and turns the TV off pressing the red button again turns the box off.
The remote for the Panasonic TV will work the droid box.
Not really major problem so certainly can live with it.
