internet randomly disconnects after a while.
-
Hello! So I have another problem (once again) with RetroPie. Whenever I use my raspberry pi, about every 30 minutes it randomly disconnects from my internet then connects again 2 minutes later. I think it has to do with dhcp. But when go to the wifi config for it while its in the process. It shows its not connected to anything. so then I tell it to search for networks. It doesnt show any avalible connections. (And then connects.shows my internet two minutes after for another 30 minutes)
My guess is that it has to do with dhcp failing and rebooting. But I know very few things about it. And this is NOT on ethernet. I have not tested it yet but I doubt it will do a difference.
Any tips for this situation I have would be greatly appricated

@TheAutisticGamer sounds like poor wifi signal. the pi’s wifi antenna isn’t the greatest. It’s just enough to to work, but Depending how far your Wi-Fi is , how many walls it has to go through, how much other radio signals nearby causing interference, ect ect, can effect signal strength. Try using a 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz as they are more robust, and can travel further though walls, ect. easier.
Also it’s not dhcp failing. Even if your DHCP server failed, your pi would still keep its IP address as well whatever the other device on your network. It’s just any new devices won’t get a new IP address.
