buster image can't get wi-fi to work

Hi

I'm using the z-wave buster image and I can't get wifi to work. I've tried two different cards and multiple configurations.

the same hardware with vanilla buster (light) works first time.

any idea what you've done to the image to prevent wifi working?

one of the adapters I've tried is an edimax. not sure what the other one is.

If I ping the pi while it's booting, it comes on the network briefly (3-4 pings) then falls off the network again.

ideas?

thanks

Hi!
Try different usb cable and power adapter.
I think the problem with power, I've seen the like.

thanks for the suggestion, but as I said, the same hardware with a clean buster image works fine. it's only with the one provided by zwave that doesn't work, so it can't be the power.

no ideas?

I'm having to use it wired at the moment which is not at all convenient...

Hi!

I had this problem due to the image I downloaded from zwave.me site had accesspoint installed. So the wifi-circuit was occupied all the time :-)ยท You can check this easily by downloading a wifi analysator to your app-phone.

To solve this I wrote
sudo apt-get remove hostapd

and to enter ssid and password I used
sudo raspi-config
