I built my HM a year ago/May and after sorting some software issues (https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?74219-RP-3b-HeaterMeter-boot-woes) it has been a joy.
I last used it a few months ago and it was fine. For T-day yesterday, however, it would not connect to my WiFi from my deck, where it used to happily do so. Today I booted it within three feet of my WAP and got only the 192.168.201.1 default IP. I then connected it to one of my switches with CAT5 and got the same result.
So apparently something has died. Should I just replace the raspberry pi 3 B+? With a RP4? Or?
edit: I am not using a blower, but all the temp functions of the HM worked fine yesterday. Not having a network connection reduced the entertainment value of the cook but didn't hold up the show.
