What to do when Ethernet connection goes down on Raspberry Pi?
Now is the time to test your script to see if it will reconnect you when the ethernet connection goes down. I’d recommend that you have physical access to the Pi when you test this for the first time, just in case you have to pull the power and reboot (very unlikely if everything has worked so far).
Why does my Raspberry Pi not reconnect?
The one that did reconnect is running Raspbmc (XBMC port to Raspberry Pi); the two that did not are running Apache with some bits on top (a mail server, owncloud, and wordpress for this website!). This is a pain because not only did it take the services offline, but I was unable to SSH to the Pi to correct the problem.
How can I connect my Raspberry Pi to the Internet?
You can simply connect your Raspberry to Internet over an ethernet cable. As I’ve explained in the solution 1, the WiFi networks can be easily disrupted by other devices such as neighborhood’s access points, microwaves ovens, amateur radios… but also concrete walls, mirrors, etc… The wired connections rule the world!
What to do if your Raspberry Pi becomes unreachable?
SOLUTIONS 1 Solution 1: turn off WiFi power management. Jacques Thieck sent me an email to explain me how does he fix the issue. 2 Solution 2: change the WiFi channel. 3 Solution 3 : use an extra WiFi USB dongle. 4 Solution 4 : wired connections rule the world!
Why is my Raspbian Pi SSH connection timed out?
PuTTY throws the following error message: Additionally, when I tried to ping the Pi’s static IP address, I didn’t get any reply from RPi, instead getting “connection timed out”. Was copying the information from my working PC the wrong thing to do? How can I fix this and get working SSH on my Pi?
Why is my Raspberry Pi not working properly?
This is one of the signs that indicate the Raspberry Pi is not getting enough juice from the connected power supply or there is some fluctuation in the output of the power supply. Fixing this is as easy as changing the power supply to your Raspberry Pi or plugging it to a different port on your PC.
Why does my Raspberry Pi take so long to boot?
I am using Minibian (lightweight version of Raspbian) and if the Pi is not connected to a network it will wait a whole minute before finishing booting. I noticed that if I commented out lines 3 and 4 in /etc/network/interfaces the Pi would boot in a normal amount of time.
