emonPi v1.5 Wifi stopped working

Hi,

I have just noticed my emonPi is no longer connected to WiFi, and no longer recieving data from my iotaWatt.

This has happened around the same time as i updated the firmware on my Asus router and we had work done on my solar system with many power inturuptions during the same day. but since i have not logged into the system for a week or so leading up to it im not sure if either event is relevant or not.

I can log into the device using ethernet, then open settings>network>WiFi and select my WiFi network in the list, I enter my password and it just says “connecting to (and my wifi name)” and the spinning logo, nothing happens with no messages.

  • if i try the same with an intentionally inncorect password i have the same behaviour.
  • retstarted my router, checked for any settings that may have changed, but everything looks ok.
  • when i refresh the page it returns to the first option to “connect to a WiFi network”.
  • I then turned on the emonPi hotspot and the network is visible and i was able to login using emonpi2016 password so i presume the WiFi hardware is all functional.

any ideas what may be going on here?

cheers,
