I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with HifiBerry Digi+ running Max2Play. I had Wifi working just fine by connecting using my router’s WPS button the first time I booted up Max2Play. I later unplugged the Pi and moved it to another location, powered it back on, and I can no longer connect to Wifi, even if I repeat the same WPS process with my router.

Instead I see this message on boot: “failed to start dhcpcd on all interfaces: see systemctl status dhcpcd.service”. Here’s a screenshot of the error:

I’m considering trying the solution proposed here, but this seems brittle–if my login info changes, this will break.

What can I do to remedy this permanently? Thank you!

I fixed this by doing a clean install of M2P from scratch and then using WPS. Worked fine with clean install, so please ignore my previous post.
