I dont know what happed but now it works

I have a similar problem with latest dietpi on a raspberry pi in hotspot mode with the auto dhcp setting,it connects to the internet but sometimes in randomly moments there is no internet and i have to reboot the raspberry pi to have internet.

[Joulinar]

what does it mean you don't have internet connection? Is this valid for Hotspot users only? Can you still login to your RPi via SSH and try to ping anything on the web?

[symbios24]

Yes i can login everything works
It has internet but in random moments it seems that there is no internet like it looses the connection, i thing this happened after i updated dietpi to the latest version
When this happens i have to reboot the Rpi for the internet to come back on
Another thing is the internet speed is not stable by wifi it goes up and down all the time
I tried by lan cable and its ok i have an atheros chipset usb dongle 150mbps that uses the driver ath9k_htc

My question was related to the situation where you lost Internet connection > Can you still login to your RPi via SSH and try to ping anything on the web, if you have lost internet connection on the hotspot?

[symbios24]

I can login with ssh what is the ping command?

[symbios24]

I dont thing is my modem problem coz when i reboot the rpi the Internet works again

[Joulinar]

do you have issues right now? Because this is something to test as soon as the Internet connection fails. If Internet connection is working currently, this will work as well. Important to test once your connection failed. Probably you are loosing WiFi connection between your RPi and your local network.

Ping command would be ping google.com 😉

[symbios24]

Thanks i will try when it happens again 🙂
What about the up down to the speed,when i download something the speed is going up/down its not really stable.
From 700kbs it goes to 30 kbs
Also how can i use channels 12 and 13 ? If i select any the dhcp service is failed
