Yes, AP == AccessPoint

Quote:What I still don't understand is the busy status reported in Kodi...

Kodi tries to check online status, and if no network is working, it takes a little bit longer ...

Quote:Also, regarding your script, I'm ok fiddling with cron jobs, however I'm not sure which commands would work for resetting/reconnecting the wifi.

This should work for you:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

ROUTERIP="192.168.1.10"

if ping -c3 $ROUTERIP > /dev/null 2&>1; then

    echo "Restart network"
    /sbin/ifdown -a
    /sbin/ifup -a
fi

ROUTERIP is the IP of your access point/router

Don't forget to make this script executable and put it then into cronjob (sudo crontab -e)
