Local Access Issue (lemmy.world)

Hi All, I cannot keep the connection stable to my pi. I put HAOS on a pi5 and I managed to get logged in on the app eventually and everytime I leave and come back it cannot reconnect.

It says it needs to refresh external IP but I only use it locally so I cant see why it would need this and I have location access allowed so it should know I am home.

I am also attempting to access on local IP 8321 and failing.

Ok, next check your wifi signal strength is ok.

If you have a laptop / PC open the cli and use ping with the Pi's IP address.

If not, get a ping app on your phone (I used vernet from Fdroid), check the settings have a really high number of pings (ie 60) and ping your Pi...

If the ping times out or the response times are all over the place with , then it's either your wifi or something else on the Pi / phone.

I presume your only running home assistant on that Pi, nothing else?
