Hello, I have OSMC installed in the Raspberry with Kodi installed and have a problem. When I turn on the Raspberry I can connect, without problems, by SSH or using the app Kore to move by Kodi or use transmission, but after a few seconds (the minute at most) stop all these services and I can not connect. I have to say that the Internet works because I connect to Internet but I can not use the services of Kodi I mentioned earlier for example …
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information, including logs from you. Our wiki contains detailed steps for providing the relevant info we need to help you.
How do you provide power to the raspberry pi and how is the wifi dongle connected? Have you enabled usb_max_current? Does any other device on your network use 192.168.0.27?
Yes, it is enabled. And the problem persist.
Its randomly, cause the system and services works fine but without any reason the services like Kore, SSH or anything does not work…

The wifi works fine because I’m using Internet for example to watch online media or live TV. But I cant connect to Rasberry from other devices like using Kore App from Android or PuTTy from Windows.
Hello,
I’m experiencing a similar problem: sometimes wifi is not connecting at boot time or it connects but disconnects randomly. The problem doesn’t seem to be related with October update (I first had the problem before that update). Can’t reconnect using myOSMC.
My configuration:
Raspberry pi 2, Kingston 16 GB microSD (Class 10), 2.5" HDD (2 TB) directily connected via USB and a 2.5 A PSU. The wifi dongle is a TP-LINK WN823N Nano.
The PSU is ok and the the wifi dongle works ok in Windows 7. The wifi router is a TP-LINK WN8951ND and works fine with my windows 7 notebooks.
I have to say that I’ve never experienced disconnections and/or any wifi problem with this Wifi dongle and OSMC.
UPDATE: the problem persists with a fresh OSMC install (tried with another uSD card).
Since the latest OSMC update, max USB current is enabled by default, which will cause a further strain on PSUs. Also – if you’re using an 8192CU based adapter (check with lsmod), it will consume more power as I have disabled power saving in favour of better performance.
I’ve checked my PSU with a digital voltmeter using the testpoints located under the board.
Test conditions: Rpi2 playing a full hd movie, amule on and downloading/uploading with temp directory on the USB HDD) and I found 5.04 V and 4.96 V, so I think the power supply is ok. Maybe a ripple problem but I do not have a scope at this time. The strange thing is that if I try to reconnect using myOSMC the dongle won’t reconnect to the network, even if I reboot the Rpi. The disconnectons started some days before the October update.
The only relevant thing I did was a firmware update to the wifi router (TP-LINK WN8951ND) to fix some bugs, but I have no problems with other devices connected to the network (laptops and a smartphone).
At this point I suspect that the wifi USB dongle is being faulty.
In my case, is not problem of PSU cause I have tried with two PSU and the problem persist.
And the wifi dongle works perfectly because I have used it in a laptop and works, and for example:
While I am watching a online movie (using dongle and Internet) i cant connect to raspberry and OSMC with my Android phone and Kore app.
Thank yoy everybody…I am still looking for a solution.
This would indicate that your power supply is either failing or not up to the job.
The Pi requires a low ripple constant minimum voltage of 5v. If your supply is dropping below 5v under load as your test indicates then you will see issues, especially in a power hungry setup like OSMC.
It would appear that you don’t have sufficient power to keep your Pi running, your dongle running and your network connected while everything is under load.
Maybe your router’s new firmware is not as tolerant of connections that appear to flake out? You could try rolling it back to see if the problem went away.
I cant connect by PuTTy, or SMB, or Kore…I cant find my rasberry from other device…But it is connecg to my network cause I can view online tv’s or movie’s using any addon or any other pluggin.
I have psu of 2A and powered hub where I connect hdd and usb doongle.
