WiFi drops and reconnects regularly...

First step i would do, is a replacement with another power supply.
Does it have enough power. At least 2.5A is recommened i guess!?

I guess it is not related to the MM itself, its a Pi problem.

@barnosch hmmm… Thanks! I just replaced the 1,5A with a 2A one as I lack a 2,5A one. I’ll Keep that in mind, though!

barnosch

the only “original” RaspPi3 powersupply they sell has 5V/2.5A
But i guess a 2A is good to go.
If the old one has some problems or drops the voltage from time to time, the issues you have can happen easily.
Just try with the other one?
You are using the internal Wifi or with a external USB-Wlan Dongle?

Have you?

Disable WiFi Power Save

Disable power saving

For Raspberry Pi 3
Edit /etc/network/interfaces

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Add the following line under the wlan0 section

wireless-power off
Reboot your PI

sudo reboot

Honestly I think this happens when you update the Pi…I don’t believe it’s MM doing this.

Just a short information, after changing the powersupply to 5V/2A instead 5V/1,5A it now seems stable. I now only get a rekeying-message every 10mins in the syslog, which I suppose is my FritzBox. :)

I’m using the internal WiFi - apparently withou power saving off. But seems OK.

@binderth I found that 2A isn’t enough for the pi3, when under heavy load it would fail. The raspberry 2,5A power unit is highly recommended.

@barnosch
I am also having the same issue. I tried this method, But still i am facing this issue. Any other solutions.
