Re: Pi 0w does not appear to stay on wifi
Thanks for that command. It is off, but that is a common enough problem that it was one of the first commands given to me in another place I asked about this problem. I do find that having to leave it off for a few days before I can use over an hour kind of odd. The steps I was given for fixing the problem you brought is the following. I think you may know what they are...
If you lose WIFI after a period of inactivity it is due
to the power-saving-mode of the WiFi-chipset is set to on.
To get rid of this problem, perform the following steps:
* First login to your Pi by ssh.
* verify current setting: by typing:
iw wlan0 get power_save
* This shows, that power-saving is curently on or off.
* If off you are done. If on do the following.
* make the root-partition writeable:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
* edit /etc/network/interfaces:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
* scroll down to the section wlan0 (iface wlan0) after the line
* wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
* insert the following line:
wireless-power off
* Repeat this step for wlan1
* Save the file and reboot!
sudo reboot
* Connect by ssh again, and recheck power-saving:
iw wlan0 get power_save
* Now it should be off. If so you are done.
That may be just for the image I am using. Also did what I could from this. Almost as it might be over heating, but from every thing I can tell, the hottest it got was 105F. Do not know if this makes any difference, the curnal is 4.9.35 I am running version 8 of the raspian OS. Forgot the name. I am using v3.417 of the image.
