WiFi sensitivity w Bullseye?


Michael Starling
 

Did a full build w newest version of BAP on an RPI4 mounted in an ARGON40 enclosure with a 256gb SSD.? Everything went as well as one can hope for.? System worked on SD.? System worked on SSD.? 7100 works.? GPS a little slow to pick up enough satellites but that is not a BAP problem at all.? Kudos to Jason for making this easy.

Am seeing the WiFi dropping out much more than it has ever done.? Had it been this bad, the BAP build would never have run.? Argon fan is et to keep CPU temp to 55C or so.

Any thoughts other than running ethernet?? That would be a bit of a challenge.

Thank you!


 

I have an ArgonOne V2 case. I love mine, but they do have an issue with reducing WiFi signal strength (google it). I have one set on it's side (it's headless anyway) with the bottom pointing in the general direction of the access point. Works somewhat better than flat. It's probably because of the extra mass pointing down to the CPU and WiFi chips.

Kevin,

The same RPI4 in the same chassis did the BAP build with a WiFi connection.? Hours of downloads.

Never has a significant problem with the WiFi on this machine when running BAP builds on Buster and Buster based Ham-Pi.? Am sure the Argone case is part of the problem, but something in the BAP build pushed it over the edge.

Have run a temporary ethernet to the machine.? Will have to redo some cables to make the installation acceptable and more cat proof.? Hope it will allow VNC to run as well.

the same here. I run a raspi 4B also in an ARGON40 with with BAP on Bullseye. The distance argon40 to the router is only 1m, but I loose again and again wifi connection. This maybe after several hours of work but also maybe after half an hour. The time to reconnect also is quite different between 10secs to some minutes. I will look for a wifi dongle and try with this.Klaus, DC2JR


 

Had this WiFi problem too. Found on internet this blog.?
Looks like a bug in the Argon design. I contacted Argon and they confirmed a WiFi problem and will send me?
replacement parts. Still in backorder...
