Raspberry pi4 Wifi Disconnections.

Postby capthookb » Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:58 am

I have a raspberry pi4 with 4gb RAM and it connects to my tv as a media player. I'm controlling it with a remote control and the only access I have to the RPI4 is through ssh.

While I have setup netctl in order to connect to my home access point, sometimes the raspberry gets disconnected and won't reconnect. It wont' reconnect even after restart. The only way I can reconnect the wifi, is to connect my laptop and raspberry pi by ethernet, ssh to RPI4 and restart the netctl profile.
How can I trace the reason for this behaviour?
I have read about some bugs regarding RPI4 and wifi, when in 4K resolution: https://www.enricozini.org/blog/2019/hi ... esolution/ but my resolution setting is 720p.
Does anyone has some idea on what to do?

Anything useful in the kernel log dmesg?

Nothing at all.
dmesg is flooded with messages like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
...
audit: type=1101 audit(1588416608.109:124): pid=1004 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='op=PAM:accounting grantors=pam_tally2,pam_access,pam_unix,pam_permit,pam_time acct="root" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success'
...
')

I decided to connect the wifi usb dongle, Realtek 8192, that I was using with my previous Raspberry Pi version and it works like a charm. I haven't experienced a single disconection.
So I guess it should be a firmware/driver problem/bug of the builtin wifi. Too bad!
