Hi,
I have a Raspberry Pi 1 B+ powered by a 2000mA supply obtained from ThePiHut.
It uses a WiFi dongle to connect to my local network.
OSMC version: VERSION_ID=“2015.07-1”
XBMC version:
18:17:15 18.896797 T:3023974960 NOTICE: Starting Kodi (15.1-RC1 Git:Unknown). Platform: Linux ARM 32-bit
18:17:15 18.896984 T:3023974960 NOTICE: Using Release Kodi x32 build (version for Raspberry Pi)
Since the last couple of weeks I encounter the problem that OSMC will stop responding to the network. I can’t ping the Pi and movies can’t be played.
When I pull out the WIFI dongle it is extremely hot. If I put it back immediately the network connection does NOT get restored, however, if I wait a bit and then push it back in, the network connection comes back to life and I can ping the device and it’ll work again for a couple of hours.

My first thought is that the WIFI dongle overheats.
Would love to hear any suggestions to resolve this issue. Please let me know what additional information you need.
