Lossing Wi Fi connection

Help and Support
1

Hi

I am havine a prolem with my Pi losing the Wi-Fi login info after a reboot. I have been struggling with Wi Fi for a few days, I can get a connection with a LAN, I can set up the wi fi and I can see network connection on the LAN and with the Wi FI. If I remove the LAN cable and reboot it will not reconnect to the wi fi and appears to have lost the the wi fi login details. I did manage to get it to work just on wi fi by using a fixed IP address and turning hot spot off , but it only lasted a few days untill it again lost teh Wi fi login details. Any suggestions welcome.

To add a bit more info, I have tried setting a static ip address in the /etc/network.interfaces file, and after a restart the changes I have made have disapeared, the interface file is:

auto wlan0
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

if you have dhcp your ip could change i would advice to use a static ip

i see a error with xcb_connection_has_error() returned true

do you use a external dac or a hat ?

8

Its dhcp ia ON for LAN connection and OFF for wireless.

I have been using it with a static IP, but it keeps on disapearing when I power up. It does not disapear if I do a restart via the UI.

10

This error is I have the USB output unplugged so I could move the Pi to be close to my router to get LAN connection to see what was going on.

11

multiple errors

12

Intreasting, how do I get it to sync ?

13

do what @Wheaten says :

Seems you’re SD card is faulty and causing multiple errors:

Try to correct it, or perform a factory reset.

15

OK, I will do a new install, Thanks for the Help

And don’t modify the files via ssh. Just use the ui

I have not gone to version 3 yet still happy on 2.773, everything works as i want it. I am using a RPI3b+ tried to upgrade and didnt like the way things were working so went back to an earlier version. As I said it does everything I want, Plug in a USB ipod and it finds it and works, network music storage just works fine, the wifi with static address works everytime. I use a LCD screen with Pydpiper all good.
