Pi3 slow wifi connection

[Pietze]

Hi everyone,

I am so confused right now!

Setup:
Rasberry Pi 3 with Recalbox 4.0.2, attached to a CRT with a Chinch cable, WiFi connected

Issue
The Pi is loosing it's connection randomly and becomes slower and slower after a reboot.

When it started:
At first everything worked really nice for the last days.
Then, I started to move some more roms on the SD card via wireless network and it was struggling to copy data (so I had to retry, then it continued copying).
And don't know if this was before, or after, but somehow the scraper is also incredibly slow. It needs like a minute to confirm a title.

When I deactivate the connection, it's smooth. As soon I try to move some bigger files like PSX games, it looses its connection.

The monitoring in the browser doesn't show any weird things, everything is normal there.

Any ideas, everyone?

@Pietze Ethernet connection works btw.

@Global-Moderators This thread can be closed, since it probably had to do with my Wifi setup. Can't say if this was a software bug.

For slow issue in Wifi, the pi3 wifi chipset isn't realy good... If you are not close to your box, wifi isn't good :/.

For scraping. Wifi + write capability of pi 3 isn't realy good... Best solution is to scrap your rom on your pc. More fast for full set. You can use universal xml for exemple ;).

And for your game, use external stockage like usb key. It's more powerfull and easier for pull inside game :). And when you want install the system, separted the game to the system is realy the best solution. You keep your games, scrapping, save state, gamepad mapping on the usb key. And only the system on the micro sd. And it's cheaper to buy a 8gb micro sd + 128gb usb key fit, than only 128gb micro sd. You win time and money. It's win win config ^^.

Hope that help you :s.
