I have a Pi Zero working as a backup server. Occasionally, it seems to lose the wireless network and is unable to reconnect automatically.
Is there some way to configure so that if the connection drops for some reason, it will try to reconnect until it succeeds?
Thanks,
Daniele
How are you configuring the wireless network at the moment - NetworkManager or something else?
I have the network's details in the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

you could probably wrote a script that pings and if it pfails recboots the network. Not sure how to do that though
Basically whatever's bringing the network up now can probably be told to do it again.
I use Raspbian lite, and I put in root's crontab:
and that works well for me.
