      Pi Model or other hardware: 3
      Power Supply used: official raspberry
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: 2TB HD flat32
      Controller used: Wiimote
      Guide used:
      https://www.retro-programming.de/retro-welt-2/hardware/raspberry-pi-als-emulator-retropie/retropie-controller-einrichten/retropie-bluetooth-controller/retropie-wiimote-bluetooth/

      Even tried the routerlogin website - https://routerlogin.onl/192-168-10-1/

      WiFi worked without a problem the last 6 months. Yesterday, I did two things:

      I manually mounted a usb hard drive (see guide)
      I set up an additional wiimote controller (see guide) to my existing ps3 controller.
      Shortly afterwards I noticed that retropie->WiFi->connect to WiFi Network does not list the WiFi networks it should list. This is what it lists:

      0
      H Hidden ESSID

      Both my home network and my iPhone hotspot (who are up and running) are not listed (as well as all the neighbours' stuff).

      I do not know whether this issue is related two the external hd mount or the wiimote setup.

      I have checked WiFi country and it is correctly set.

      Output of Show IP Adress is:

      Your IP is :

      Output of 'ip addr show':
      1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
      ...
      2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000
      ...

      Any idea how I get this back running?

        Does it work if you disconnect the other devices ? Is the external disk powered from the PI or it has a separate power adapter ?
