Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the Wi-Fi connectivity issues you’re experiencing with your Colibri iMX8X. Let’s go through some steps that might help resolve this problem:

  1. Network Configuration:

    • Double-check that your Wi-Fi network settings, such as the SSID and password, are correctly configured.
    • Ensure that your network manager is set to automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi network if the connection drops.
  2. Power Management Settings:

    • Sometimes, power-saving modes can cause the Wi-Fi to disconnect. Check if power management settings are affecting the Wi-Fi module and adjust them if necessary. You can do this using nmcli or by editing the network configuration files.
  3. Signal Strength and Interference:

    • Make sure the Wi-Fi signal is strong and consistent. Weak signals can lead to intermittent connectivity.
    • Look for potential sources of interference, such as other electronic devices or physical obstructions between the router and your Colibri iMX8X.
  4. Driver and Firmware Updates:

    • Ensure that the Wi-Fi drivers and firmware on your Colibri iMX8X are up to date, as outdated drivers can cause connectivity issues.
  5. Router Configuration:

    • Check that your router is not limiting the number of connected devices or has settings that might cause disconnections.
    • Rebooting the router can sometimes resolve temporary issues.
  6. Logs and Diagnostics:

    • Review the system logs on your Colibri iMX8X for any error messages related to the Wi-Fi connection. This can provide clues about the cause of the disconnection. Use dmesg or journalctl to view logs and look for any relevant entries.

By systematically checking these areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the Wi-Fi disconnections. If the issue persists, further investigation into your specific network environment may be necessary.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
