Code

ifconfig wlan0 down && ifconfig wlan0 up

That ^ will bounce the wlan0 interface and thus force the interface to be reconfigured.

Perfect, thanks!

Followup on the above, unfortunately the script in its current form does not achieve the desired effect. It detects the network is down but performing a restart of connman does not resolve.

At the moment I am manually toggling the "Active" setting in LibreELEC settings, which appears to completely reset the network stack and re-initialise the WiFi.

How can I perform this same action via a CLI command?

I had some similar issues in the past, and just added a small script to crontab to force a connman restart when there's no connection.

Something like this:

in crontab (each 3 minute of the hour, test connection. The --reset-network parameters restarts connman if needed):

Code

03 * * * * /storage/bin/network-connection-test.sh --reset-network

the script:

Code

LOGFILE=/storage/logfiles/$(basename $0 .sh).log
ping -q -w 3 -c 1 `ip r | grep default | cut -d ' ' -f 3` 2>&1 > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   echo $(date +"%y%m%d %H:%M:%S") " - Online"  >> $LOGFILE
       exit 0
else
   echo $(date +"%y%m%d %H:%M:%S") " - Offline" >> $LOGFILE
   if [ "$1" == "--reset-network" ]; then
       echo "                 - Reset network" >> $LOGFILE
       systemctl restart connman
   fi
   exit 1
fi

I just wanted to say a huge THANK-YOU to you for creating this solution which I believe has solved my LibreELEC WiFi connection inconsistencies.

I'm running it on x86-64 with a cheap realtek WiFi card that intermittently (3 times out of 4) will not associate to the WAP before the boot / wait time finishes, leaving me with an inaccessible Kodi.

It's not the WiFi network (Ubiquiti prosumer grade, multiple WAPs, etc) and it's probably not LibreELEC either - just the cheap WiFi card needing some time to think about things on bootup!

Once again, kudos!

Hi, I am also experiencing this issue.

Would anyone be able to guess when the next release with an updated kernel would be available? I am not in a hurry, just trying to decide if it's worth the effort to roll my own Kodi appliance or wait for the next LibreELEC release.

Thank-you
