Stop Raspberry PI Dropping off the WiFi Network

[alanmerry]

I was having a recurring issue where the Pi 4 was dropping off the WiFi Network overnight and required a reboot to resolve.

After some research I discovered a fix which has been working for me.

I set the country code in the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to be the same as the country code on my router.

This was the first line in the file:-

country=AU

It would be great if this could become a standard parameter.

Glad you figured out and solved your troubles!

Linking to an old comment for some issue tracking/housekeeping…

5 GHz wifi support (posted in correct forum this time)

Glad it fixed your troubles! We really need to add a little more localisation support – more than just the language. The time zone and country code could be smartly integrated into the “First Start” wizard… EDIT: I see that there was some discussions, but never reached to anything conclusive…

Hi, i am having the same issue. How do I access "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf " on my Rpi4? Thanks for your support! Also, do you know the country code for the USA?

Enable ssh via the volumio.local/dev page, connect using putty or an other ssh tool, login, sudo nano /etc/…
