Wifi not reconnecting after router reboot

emonSD
1

Bit of a strange one as I have not had this problem previously for last few years. Recently replaced a node as part of my mesh netwok. Since then, if I need to reboot my router or I have a power outage, the pi won’t reconnect to wifi until I hard reboot. It is like it tries to connect for a short period and then gives up until it is shutdown and powered up again.

Appreciate that this sounds like a router issue but everything else seems to reconnect fine. So is there anything I can check or reconfigure with the emonpi to get this back to its previous self sufficient state?

I think you need to start looking at logs on the Pi. If you want help, you’ll probably also need to list what your router and mesh are.

There’s some information at https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/101637/network-log-file about how to inspect network logs on the pi. Your router’s website may also tell you something.
