- Put the script into the home dir, like: /home/pi
- Edit the parameter in the script
vim NetReconnector.sh
# NetCard and PingTarget should be modified.
- Add x priority to the script
chmod +x NetReconnector.sh
- Add a task with crontab
crontab -e
Add this line which means run the script every 5 minutes between 8:00 and 22:00.

PingTarget=www.baidu.com # the ping target, router ip or website, etc: 192.168.1.1, www.baidu.com
LogFile=~/NetReconnector.log # log file
LogAll=false # log msg no matter whether the net is connected, used to be check whether the script is running.
test -e $LogFile || touch $LogFile
time=$(date "+%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")
ret=$(ping -c 2 -W 1 -I $NetCard $PingTarget | grep 'received' | cut -d ',' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
if ["$ret" == "0"]; then
sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0
echo "Try Reconnect: $?, $time" | tee -a $LogFile
else
if ["$LogAll" == "true"]; then
echo "Network is ok, ret = $ret, $time" | tee -a $LogFile
fi
fi
exit 0
```

PD: Could be good if you add this script to DietPi because Wifi sometimes drop connection and with this seems to be working 24/7.
I only tested this 2 days and I had no drops, I will write later if my connection drops.

Many thanks for sharing.
Did you try/compare with the WiFi monitor that you can enable within dietpi-config WiFi adapter settings?

It is the option to enable reconnect?
