Cant seem to get the dreamcast online

Post by Retro-45 »

I seemed to hit a roadblock with the dreampi. The modem only has one light but my lvi is receiving power and I only have one error on the dreampi. The model pi im using is a model 4. Any help is appropriated.

Without knowing all the settings detail, it is tough to answer. I can say on my basic limited browsing experience, it seems connection issues have been Pi4 owners.

And the inside of the modem

Worst case scenario if I can’t get it working I can just buy one from dreamcast live which I don’t mind doing.

Modem looks correct, I'd recommend formatting and reflashing the dreampi image. Are you connecting via ethernet as well?

If after reflashing it doesn't work it could be an issue with the wireless connection. If the pi doesn't have internet you won't get both lights

Agreed with Xiden. "Sometimes" wireless connections don't work very well with DreamPi.
