Raspberry pi 3 can’t see Orbi Network
Hi. I have a Raspberry Pi model 3 with Libreelec SO on it. When I try to connect by wifi to the network generated by my Orbi system, I can’t see the network’s SSID on the raspberry. I can connect wit...
- I think that the issue is that the Pi can only see the lower channels in the 2.4 GHz band.
In the Wireless Settings in Orbi please set the 2.4 GHz to channel 1 or 6 and see if the Pi will see it.
Temporary disable the 5Ghz SSID broadcast under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.
Thanks, but didn’t work. I unchecked the “enable SSID broadcast” option under “advanced wireless settings” on the 5ghz, but nothing happened... My raspberry continues not seeing my Orbi Network (I rebooted the raspberry after the change).
I attach you my actual configuration of the Advanced wireless menu. It is correct?
thanks again
After unchecking the SSID broadcast you did apply the change right?
How do you have the SSID name configured on the Orbi? I presume other devices see this SSID name?
Does the Pi see any SSID names at all? Try a simple SSID name on the Orbi to see if the Pi can pick up this simpler SSID name.
Enusre the Pi's WiFi drivers are up to date. Might ask the Mfr of Pi about any wifi issues with Orbi.

In the Wireless Settings in Orbi please set the 2.4 GHz to channel 1 or 6 and see if the Pi will see it.Absolutely! The Orbi region is set to Europe, which allows channels above 11. There appears to be a "fix" for Raspberry to allow the higher channels: https://tosbourn.com/get-channels-12-and-13-on-the-raspberry-pi-3/
