I’m running octopi on an rpi zero 2 w it had been working flawlessly for weeks until I unplugged it to move the printer. Now it won’t connect to Wi-Fi sometimes. If I connect a monitor it will connect. If I connect the monitor after booting it has no network IP address just the 127… Local address. I’ve gotten it to connect one time without a monitor but it was in the wrong location. I thought it might be proximity related, and it still could be, but that doesn’t explain why it doesn’t always connect near my Wi-Fi access point where it was working before. I’ve tried multiple other power supplies and with the printer both turned on and disconnected.
It’s apparently an issue with my Wi-Fi access point I switched to an ssid that is wpa2 / wpa3 and it’s working now.
How is it configured?
It’s been years, but when the same thing happened on my pi I switched to wicd and had no more issues.
I’ll have to check and see. I just used the official rpi installer and input my ssid and PW.
