Hi Aka,

Just to keep you updated:

1. Turn off wireless power management does improve rpi 3wireless connection, please keep the setting.
2. The disconnection was cause by wireless lan controller session timeout setting.
3. I am fine tuning the wpa_supplication config file seem to connect better now, still monitoring the outcome.

My wpa_supplication config

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="coyssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="myusername"
password="mypassword"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Aka,

Just want to keep you updated.

1. Turning off wireless power management does help to improve rpi 3 wireless connection please keep the setting.
2. After further checking I realize that the connection drop off due to timeout session configure from wireless lan controller.
3. I have further fine tune the wpa_supplication and the wireless connection seem to be more stable now.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="coyssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="myusername"
password="mypassword"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}

Thanks,
Ken

Signal level is low. Try USB WiFi with external antenna.

Turning off wireless power management

Hi Aka,

Thanks again, the wireless authentication is now working, but I hit another issue that it will turn off by itself when the rpi session is idling
I have do some read out and this could the potential cause:
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/qu ... nt-setting

1. Upgrade the wireless firmware
sudo BRANCH=next rpi-update

2. Turn off power management.
sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

Can this be integrate to WTware?
Again your help is very much appreciated.

Additional link info:
It also mention on the be link that it will improve the wireless self turn off and performance issue.
