Reply To: [UPDATE] News raspberry Pi 3 B+

Hi,
tried to setting up a fresh image and connected as Heiner wrote to the PI with the Automatic Access Point Mode. Very Nice Feature!
Changed the Wifi Settings to connect to my FritzBox 7490 (2.4 GHz Network) and it is working well. If I change the network to my 5GHz SSID Problems occur. Some Times the Pi starts normaly and connects, some Times the Network Connection failed. Strange is that the Pi connects in AC Mode with 6MBits and changes after some time to A+N Mode with 150 MBits. I tried to setup the Wifi-Country to Germany in raspi-config, but this seems not to change the connection Problems. Now I’m using the 2.4GHz SSID and it works fine.

By the way there are two errors when booting the Pi 3B+ with the clean Stretch Image. This can be fixed by a firmware update (sudo rpi-update over ssh). And there is another error when saving Wifi Settings in the Web-Interface (invalid argument ioctl – SIOCSIWENCODEEXT…).

Greetings,
Daniel
