The initial connection strenght is 100% and i have access to the internet. Ping etc. works fine. As soon as i don't have any traffic on that connection (for ~1 minute), the connection signal will drop to 20% and i won't be able to generate any traffic again - ping won't find it's destination. If i reconnect to the AP it works (as long as i keep the connection 'busy'). I did realize that the LED of the devices flashes very fast if my connection is 100%. It starts to (progressively) slow, when no traffic is present. So maybe this problem is a power management issue? It seems the device won't \"wake up\" and strenghten it's signal output if it is needed.\r\n\r\nIs this a drivers issue? Any suggestions for further analysis this problem? Any advice / solution to overcome this issue?\r\n\r\n(Sorry for my, eventually a bit, awkward english, i'm not a native speaker ...)

I used low power mode set to 1 as mentioned and dongle associated and paired up. It was getting handshake errors and WRONG_KEY errors prior. I suspect its browning out on my RPi.\r\n\r\nI was on this issue out of desperation and it worked out. Thanks"}}
