What is the problem?
So I wanted to setup Octoprint for my printer with a Raspberry Pi 3. When i connect it directly to my router it was perfectly working. But i have a long ethernet cable into my cellar, where my printer is. when I plug it in there I can't access the octopi.local website anymore. The green status LED on the ethernet port is on.
What did you already try to solve it?
I tried to connect a Laptop to the long ethernet cable. That worked perfectly.
I tried to reinstall octopi several times.
I was pinging it with the console in windows (didn't work)
Additional information about your network
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Maybe the long cable gets some interference or noise etc, that your laptop can cope with, but the Pi can't really? Not sure of the specifics of the interface on the Pi, but I do know you can get shielded cables, that might help with the distance. What sort of distance are we looking at?
That could be possible. But at least on my laptop I get the same internet speed with the long and the short cable. I think the cable is about 30 meters long, but that should not really be a problem.
Now I heard that the official raspberry pi camera can cause some problems when plugged in incorrectly. I will reinstall octopi tomorrow and try it without the camera plugged in.
Edit:
The cable I use is a pretty good one, but idk if it is a shielded cable
