Raspberry Pi WiFi connection issues solved by manually setting gateway
Hi folks, just wanted to share a tip that I only stumbled upon after several hours of frustration, in the hope that it saves someone else the same.
I was having all sorts of issues with the wifi connection on my RPi only connecting briefly before being lost. I tried everything I could find in the docs and nothing helped until I stumbled upon a related thread on the Raspberry Pi forum where someone mentioned setting the gateway manually to the router IP.
Thankfully, it seems to have done the trick. My exact setup is that the router is set to provide a fixed IP to the Pi's MAC address and I have also told Repetier-Server to use the same IP under "Additional Address".
All this may seem obvious to more seasoned folks but maybe not so much to a casual or new user, so I figured it was worth mentioning. Cheers!
