Problems connecting to a new router

Hi you experts out there,

I have (finally) got a new fiber connection, including a new router. However, I cant get the Hydrosys to connect to it, despite that I can see it on the available network list and have reserved a static IP in the router. Any ideas about what goes wrong? You can see the network part of the log below.

Hi There,

In the logs, we can see that the system got the list of the WiFi network the first time, and it got also the IP address, so it was connected to the Internet in some way.

Later the system try to connect to the WiFi but cannot retrieve the WiFi network list after 3 times it reverses to AP mode.

It may be strange but I had similar issue some days ago, the system was rarely able to get the WiFi network list. In my case the raspberry was at the border of the WiFi coverage and the interference from another WiFi router made the transmission error rate too high.

This is just an assumption, but can it be possible that the new router has a weaker WiFi coverage that the previous one?
