DMR not communicating to Master server.

[N9AXT]

My Pi-Star will attach to WiFi, I have two routers and both will attach.
If I don’t connect Ethernet, then I can’t get the Dashboard.
When I transmit, I see the Pi change to the Talk Group. I don’t see me on TGIF Last Heard or the Parrot.
It worked yesterday for about 8 hours, as long as the Ethernet was connected.
I put a password on my Pi-Star, no help.
I updated my Pi, which updated, but still no DMR.
My log shows that when I transmit I get a Master time out after about 3 minutes.

At this point I don’t know if I have a defective Pi or a setting that needs changed?
Any ideas?

My Pi-Star will attach to WiFi, I have two routers and both will attach.

Are both routers powered and in range of the R-Pi at the same time? You might be getting an erratic (hopping) connection where the R-Pi is jumping from one router to the other, resulting in lost packets during renegotiation and channel select -- or even just interference between the two routers (on the 2.4GHz band, there are only about three WiFi channels out of the eleven that do not overlap).

Yes, the routers are within 2 feet of each other.
So I powered one off and connected to the other, but get the same problem.
I have the Pi-Star set up to work on my WiFi in my vehicle, which used to work, and I have the same issue in the car.

It tries to connect, but times out.
Then it retries over and over, but times out.

Just for grins, while still in my car, I switched to the Brandmeister network and it works!
But not on TGIF.

I brought my Pi back in the house. I read on the TGIF forum that a ham there had to add 01 to his DMR ESSID.
So I changed mine to my Digital ID and selected 01.
It now works on TGIF as well.
This ham mentioned he has to pick a new DMR ESSID each time he switches from BM to TGIF.

If so he's going to run out of IDs, since there are only 100 (00 - 99) available (well, 101 if you count " ")
