Volumio 4 Feedback Thread

Help and Support Help

Hey @jocoman,

Now I can see the problem clearly.

Hardware detected:

  • Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
  • TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 USB WiFi adapter
  • Interface name: wlan1 (USB adapter)
  • Volumio 4.067

Problem identified in journalctl.txt:

wlan1: waiting for carrier
wlan1: removing interface
wlan1: waiting for carrier

This loops endlessly - the USB WiFi adapter cannot establish carrier.

Root cause:

Your Raspberry Pi 4 has built-in WiFi (wlan0). When you add a USB WiFi adapter, it becomes wlan1. Volumio 4 on Bookworm has a restriction for USB WiFi adapters on Pi models with built-in WiFi - the internal WiFi must be disabled for the USB adapter to work properly.

Solution:

  1. Edit /boot/userconfig.txt (via SSH, or edit on separate system):
sudo nano /boot/userconfig.txt
  1. Add this line at the end:
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
  1. Save and exit (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter)
  2. Reboot:
sudo reboot

After reboot, your USB WiFi adapter will become wlan0 and should work properly.

This has been discussed in Beta thread.

Kind Regards,
