Hold tight, this is a strange one...

I have a board with two network adapters, one lan and one wifi, each one properly configured and has its own ip address on the same network.

Whenever they're both connected, they both work fine, but whenever I disconnect the lan cale, the wifi connection drops too.

googling about it points the blame on some router setting, so here's my router model: tp link td-w8901n

thanks

  • Couple of questions: what OS is the board running? Are you *sure* each interface is properly configured? Is it possible the when your LAN connection drops/is removed that your default route for the network is being removed, as well? – Thomas N Jun 02 '16 at 19:56
  • the board uses Debian for pine. I could ssh through both ip's so I conclude that wifi does work (also made sure it registered and got an ip address) – akiva Jun 02 '16 at 20:44

not sure exactly what the problem was but reassigning a new range of ip addresses (no longer using boring 192.168.. ..) and rebooting my board without lan connected did the trick
