Timeout when trying to connect

Hello, My raspberry is connected via WiFi to my router (2,4 GHz). For a while it works but then suddenly a connection is not possible any more (timeout). The pi is still listed in the router overview. I am using Ratos 2.0 alpha I am accessing it via the IP

OK, I just checked again and it is not listed any more. I did install sonar yesterday but maybe it does not automatically start

Don't use 2.0 alpha. The official 2.0 release is available now

Sonar breaks RatOS That's why i disabled it in 2.0

Oh ok, did not know it was there for previous versions (as I did not need it). I installed it via SSH, so it is best to remove it that way befor upgrading to the official 2.0?

You need to reflash to update to the 2.0 release anyway, so there's no point in removing it.

Ok, will do so. If sonar is not a viable solution, I have to connect via LAN to fix my problem or do you have any other ideas? @miklschmidt : In what way does Sonar break RatOS? I used it all day yesterday (8h print) and everything worked fine. The only alternative I have, is connecting the Pi to a Linux machine (which is also connected via Wifi) and allow the use of the LAN port (but I don't know if that works).

It conflicts with the hotspot. I don't remember exactly what the issue was.

Ah ok, so once it is setup it should not be a problem?

And honestly i have not seen the need for it. I have printers that have run for months without ever dropping wifi. No 3, 4 or zero two have ever dropped a connection on me. It is if it looses wifi connection, then things will just stop working instead of throwing you a hotspot.

Ok thanks 🙂 Unfortunatelly, since I moved it to a further away room I constantly loose the connection So I guess I have no real option

Yeah that's because of poor connection. Sonar won't fix that.

(there are also numerous neighbouring wifis, which probably cause interference

All sonar does is ping your gateway regularly Either go ethernet or put up mesh points. Or move the router closer 😄

Thanks again for your advice 🙂

connecting the Pi to a linux mint machine which functions as a network bridge should also work, right?
miklschmidt
miklschmidt•2y ago
yep that should do it

So flash tomorrow, don't setup any wifi and hope for the best 😄
