Problem solved for both Reach modules.
Now running ReachView 2.9.1 (was 2.9.0).
Problem was corrupt wpa_supplicant.conf file and only shows in editor(nano).
When cat(ed) looks ok but in nano editor you see problem.

How can a .conf get corrupted ? I mean since both device had the same issue.
Its a question in general, feel free to answer anybody how can
