After a couple hours of normal functionality, where both SSH and Yatse works perfectly, both will suddenly drop. This has been consistent behavior over the last couple of months.
When this happens, the following are all true:
The Pi2 is still online, it will continue to play both local and YouTube videos. Using a connected keyboard I can also search for other YouTube videos and they play just fine.
The router lists it as connected to the wifi.
Pinging it’s IP returns “host is down”.
Attempting to connect over SSH times out.
Yatse considers it offline.
Have any of you had similar problems? I am using the official raspberry pi Wi-Fi dongle.
I checked it now, but the IP remains the same on the raspberry pi. The router also shows the same IP and an age of the connection from when I turned it on this morning.
Good suggestion, I have already tried it :). The router claims a stable connection and the drop of SSH and Yatse sometimes happens while it’s playing a video.
