I recently upgraded to fiber internet and now my Raspberry Pi won’t connect. I have tried legacy mode temporarily allowing 2.4 GHz and connecting my machine directly to the router which has not helped either. Any suggestions. I really dislike the USB shuffle to work with.

The ssid is case sensitive if I recall… Double check that it is exactly the same. Also if they replaced the router it may require deleting and re setting up the wifi connection in the controller.

We use a range extender that requires 2.4 and our network provider set up the modem so that it has both a 2.4 channel and a 5 gig channel.

Thank you for the help. The issue is that Raspberry Pi only runs on 2.4GHZ and my new internet is 5GHz. It is not the SSID or gig issue.

Hey Travis,

I don’t know if this helps you but the [Raspberry&nbsp;Pi&nbsp;3B](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/) (not plus) inside the Onefinity Controller does not support 5&nbsp;GHz.

Why not try a 2.4ghz adapter. This one supports a variety of Linux derivatives.

BrosTrend AX300 WiFi 6 Linux Compatible WiFi Adapter, 2.4GHz Only, Nano Linux WiFi Adapter for PC, Raspberry Pi 2+, for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Kubuntu, Mate, Zorin, PureOS etc, USB WiFi Dongle 286Mbps

Amazon has a bunch of variations that have some serious external antennas in case you want to make sure you can hit it with your network wifi.

Provide a make/model on the fiber modem? if it doesn’t support 2.4G ??? I would be highly surprised if your I-net provider doesn’t have a model with both 2.4G and 5

Took our modem into our local providers office and the nice man programmed the modem to have two channels the  
2.4 one called (name) CNC  
and one called (name)5G

i ended up pulling a wired ethernet port to mine, the wifi is too crowded.
