Wifi connection problem - jevans - 03-16-2021
Hi
I'm having issues in both v6.7 and v7.0.1 with wifi dropping as soon as the ethernet connection is removed. I've got a clean 7.0.1 image on a pi 3b+ and haven't configured anything else yet, just trying to get wifi working reliably first.
I have the same issue with both my pi 3b+ (one is 6.7 the other 7.0.1), although one in normal use is ethernet connected all the time so it's no big issue there. I need the 2nd one to be wifi though and can't get it to work.
All the below testing is done using 2.4Ghz on a dual band TP Link EAP225 wireless router
With ethernet cable connected I can configure the wireless, reboot, and I see the wifi IP address assigned. moodeutl output shows both the ethernet and wifi ip address assigned and I can connect to both via a browser.
If I remove the eth cable the wifi connection drops. When I put the eth cable back in the wifi connection starts working again.
If I remove the eth cable and reboot I get no wifi. If I put the eth cable back in I can connect via eth IP again. On a reboot the wifi SID and PW details are all still present but wifi shows as "not in use". Looking at moodeutl output again I can see the eth address being assigned but not the wireless.
Oddly, when I connect to 5G (different SSID) wifi I don't appear to have the same issue. The issue there though is the 5G wireless does not stretch to where I need it for this pi!
Any thoughts on what may be going on?
Thanks

Tell a lie, the 5G wifi connection has just dropped spontaneously.
EDIT: think that may just have been Moode crashing actually as I was trying to use the 1st pi as DLNA server and this one as upnp renderer and it was rebuilding the library.
On a reboot the 5g connection is back, but the library build didn't work...
