      Hi, I have an overclocked Pi3 on 3.8.1. Right now I have everything running smoothly - just one real issue. When I am on WiFi, weird stuff happens. For example, I previously posted that I could not get kodi to download because of "failed to fetch" errors. I plugged into ethernet and it worked without any issue. Same thing for downloading the drivers for the Ps3 controller bluetooth. Now I am having an issue with the kodi addons. Each time, things "kind of" work on Wifi, but not really. For example, even though those other things don't download, I can get weather in kodi and I can download themes.

      I tried moving the pi closer to the router but it made no difference, so it's not a signal strength issue.

      Anything else I can try to fix this? Get a dongle? Boost power?

      Thanks!

        I have 2 appoints to this.
        Maybe it's the power supply
        You should first try to get away from the overclocking maybe this is the problem.
        If the error can be repeated then it should be no problem to allocate it.

          Thanks. Tried turning off the overclock and it didn't help. Power supply is supposedly 2.5A but I will source another one and try it.
