I bought new Pi b+. So i found my hungry wifi dongle can work on it well, I decided to put my Pi running headlessly over wifi. But problem is if wifi disconnects, the Pi wont reconnect.

I'm using Arch Linux.

The netctl profile I use:

   Description='wifi "mikroskeem" with ip 192.168.1.192'
   Interface=wlan0
   Connection=wireless
   Security=wpa
   ESSID='mikroskeem'
   Key='<ransom key>'
   IP=static
   Address='192.168.1.192/24'
   Gateway='192.168.1.1'
   DNS=('192.168.1.1')
   ExecUpPost='/usr/bin/ntpd -gq || true'

EDIT: I'm using Arch Linux, so no /etc/network/interfaces

I've enabled netctl-auto@wlan0

I've tried Wicd, but if i set IP manually, Pi can't reach internet(LAN works, ping google doesn't)

What do i need to change in that profile?

  • I would recommend you to set static IP anyway. Are you sure you can't reach internet? Try to ping directly an ip ping 8.8.8.8. Sometimes it's just DNS what's cause problems. Pinging specific IP could help.

  • Post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

  • @kotrfa 8.8.8.8 didn't work

  • @Milliways I use Arch Linux, no /etc/network/interfaces for me. Netctl handles this

  • I think I fixed it by adding Restart=always at the end of netctl configuration. Let's see if network goes off after 3hrs

I fixed problem myself, by adding Restart=always at the end of netctl configuration.
