Given the scarcity of RPi these days, I wonder if there are alternatives? I expect any transition will be complex.   Bob WA2I

Cannot connect to WiFi using 3B+

Gary Kaatz <gary....@gmail.com>: Sep 01 02:39PM -0700 Using a SD card with the 2.2 Beta 7 image, I set up wifi and initialized on the 3B+ and after I reboot I get the following error message: NetworkManager-wait-online.service failed to start and the pi reverts to the hotspot. Putting same SD card into my previous DigiPi machine, a Zero 2W, the WiFi is connected to my home network just fine. On the 3B+ I am using a 5-inch DSI screen and on the Zero the old 1.3 inch TFT if that makes any difference. Gary

Craig <km6...@gmail.com>: Sep 01 05:46PM -0700 Hi Gary - can you genuinely confirm it's a 3B+, emphasis on the +?   Clicking SysInfo when in hotspot mode will give you the complete Pi model name.   I don't have any other ideas just yet.  2.5Ghz wifi, if zero2w works, interference on the Pi3B+?  on a mylar bag?   phone in same room?   best, -craig KM6LYW     On 9/1/26 14:39, Gary Kaatz wrote:

Gary Kaatz <gary....@gmail.com>: Sep 01 07:09PM -0700 Craig, Definitely a 3B+, says so on the board. It is attached to the back of the dsi display. Could that cause interference? Also a 2.4GHz access point is set for wifi connect. Gary

Gary Kaatz <gary....@gmail.com>: Sep 01 07:13PM -0700 I removed the 3B+ from the DSI display and now it works. So display is causing interference or blocking the signal. Gary   On Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at 9:09:50 PM UTC-5 Gary Kaatz wrote:
