Printer keeps dropping off the network
Over the last couple of days my printer has started to repeatedly drop off the wireless home network. I am sure that this problem is restricted to the Raspberry Pi as I am not having any other network problems with the other 13 devices connected to my router. I am sure that the printer is not communicating. I cannot ping the printer and the router does not list it as a connected device. I can reboot the printer and it shows back up but within 15 minutes to a couple of hours later it has dropped. All this is without doing any printing in the meantime.
This is a recent change; but one that I am not sure is connected to any recent updates I have made to the configuration. I make it a point to update very regularly as the RatOS team is constantly making improvements and updates to the version 2.1. What information can I provide that can help resolve this issue? I am not a Linux expert but can log on directly with a connected monitor and keyboard to dig up whatever info I can provide.
Suggestions?

Try posting the ratos-devug.zip and someone more knowledgeable can take a kook
Sounds like a good start....
There's been no changes to anything network related
Thanks for the confirmations. In the meantime, I went ahead and refreshed RatOS from scratch. Saw that there was a new RC. Just in the process of getting localization back to normal. So far, so good.
Took a look at the logs and i can't find anything in there either. Hope RC2 works better.
I'm assuming it's local network thing however, since nothing changed i don't know what else could do it.
Pretty clean install. Just ran into a Bed_mesh section error after updates but that was before I had configured a printer. After going thru the config, error went away
so far so good 👍
After update to a fresh version of RC2, printer stayed connected overnight. Problem resolved
