RISC OS and Wifi

Unfortunately I’m not having a lot of luck with WiFi on RISC OS :(

RISC OS 5.30 on Raspberry Pi 3 and 4. Ok for a minute or so after the machine is on but then in the best case secnario “Couldn’t resolve host name” on Netsurf etc, worst case RISC OS just freezes over. Wifi icon on left of icon bar still shows green.

Anyone else experienced this and found a way to fix it? I wondered if there was a way to make WiFi “forget” all the connections so I can re-input the password and see if that makes a difference.

It could be my internet connection but I don’t think so, everything else in the house is working fine.

I’m minded to try the ROD TCP/IP stack to see if it makes a difference but thought I’d sound out on here first – as usual it will probably turn out to be something “simple” (I hope…)

thanks

Reattaching to the Wifi probably wont help. Check the network settings, particular the resolver ones. I had something like this when trying out WiFi set to use DHCP, where as the Ethernet was all set up manually to static addresses.

Thanks David, always had it on DHCP even under wired connection. Can you be more specific, how do you find the resolver settings?

When the Pi is the first thing to connect by wifi my mobile and internet radio set then connect momentarily to the network then disconnect themselves. Unchecking Interface Active to disable wifi on the Pi makes the phone and radio connect again and work fine.

OK so sadly I think I’ll have to abandon WiFi on RISC OS (again) but if I do find anything I’ll post here in case others are having same issues.

For the sake of completeness, maybe it is worth trying the ROD stack? Many people have reported a smoother ride with it, and it’ll give you a point of reference.

Have now installed ROD stack. And everything works. The ride is very smooth!

Thanks guys, not sure what’s wrong with the ROOL but it would be interesting to hear of other people’s experiences.
