Changing connecting from LAN to WiFi (HA2025.1.0 RPi4)

elpaul · January 5, 2025, 5:54pm

Good evening.
My home renovation starts the day after tomorrow. I have to move my HA equipment to another place for two weeks without the possibility of connecting a cable. I have everything on RPi4, so there is WiFi. And here’s a surprise… I want to turn on WiFi today and move the equipment and after click “Scan for access points " … here’s a window with info " Failed to scan for accesspoints. Scanning not allowed while unavailable”:

I have no idea what now…
After pressing “reset configuration” nothing changes.
