I finally have a semi working Klipper instance installed, but the wifi doesnt seem to stay connected, cant access the .local after some time without rebooting, do you think this is a hardware issue or software issue?

Unfortunatly this is a known issue across all SBCs, for years now. You could try to setup Sonar and see if it helps.. Its a dirty hacked FirstAId but it works somehow
In MainsailOS its there by default, you only have to enable it.
See sonar's README on how to...

I'm trying to get sonar working but the thing wont connect at all now. This entire Klipper ordeal has been extremely frustrating and I should have just stayed with Duet

I am sorry to say buts not a fault of Klipper or its components. Its simply a wifi environment problem. If there many wifis in range of the printers pi or it os sandwiched between ACP panels it gets worse. PCB antennas like the pis one arent great.

I just threw Ubuntu server and klipper on my laptop last night, going to see if I can get that to work, if it works flawlessly I’ll get an external antenna for the Pi and go from there, I’m in no way blaming klipper at all for this, it has just been a long painful process for me is all 🙂

Hello,
I am having the same issue after moving the printer further away from the router. I installed sonar as suggested above and yesterday it worked for 8h straight. However, today it disconnected after 2h and did not reconnect. Now I am wondering, if sonar starts automatically once it is installed?

It should start automatically, you can try sudo systemctl status sonar.service, at least I think that's the name of the service, to see if it's running.
Also I think, you should open a new thread normally and don't ping one of the devs unless your issue is directly connected to a thread. Maybe I'm wrong with it, still new here ^^

Thanks for the tip, will try it out. Since it is related, I thought it would be better to use an existing thread - but then I will open a new one. And I removed the Ping
E: sudo systemctl status sonar seems to be the right command
frozen cape
The ping will still be there, only that Kwad can't see who exactly did it ^^.
It's not directly connected to this thread as sonar is just mentioned here as a solution but the solution used in the end doesn't correspond to your issue anymore.

Is it running? What is the output?

The print is still going - have to wait for it to finish (as I have to do a power cyle to restart the pi)

While the print is going you can enable it, no reboot reqired.
But I think you overlooked a part...
After install did you enable and configure it due sonar.conf?

Indeed I did not (because I thought it was optional) - but as it turns out enable was set to false. So that solves that mistery

This is intentional. You shall see what it does and where its target is... Some routers may interprete it as DoS attack and then your fully screwed...
So better forcing the user to take a look for targets and give permission todo so instead of Fire and forget and it gets worse
dapper cosmos
That is a smart move. What threw me off, was the docu on github (since I thought I don't have to look at the config at all
frozen cape
I wrote exactly that to him as well ^^

Will change that asap

installed and enabled sonar, but nothing changed, wifi still disconnects, but i want to set up pressure advance
polar bough
Disconnecting wifi and Pressure Advancr arent corelated in any way, only possibility I can think of your used hardware is to weak or there is electrical interference of some kind.

i meant that i cant set up pressure advance, because web page stops loading and i cant see the values xD)
