Key notes
If your Raspberry Pi is not connecting to Ethernet or WiFi, you need to check your WiFi router if theinternetis working or not.
If theinternetis not working, try resetting the WiFi router or the modem to resolve the issue. In case the issue persists, the problem is most likely with your Raspberry Pi.
Several users have reported similar issues in the official Raspberry Pi forum:
My RPi 3 B+, which I’ve had for a couple years now, has recently refused to connect to theinternet. I have it connected to ethernet because the wifi connection is weak in this part of the house. I cannot successfully ping its hostname or IP from any other computer in the house.
In this article, we have listed a couple of troubleshooting tips to help you fix the Raspberry Pi Ethernet not working issue.
How do I fix Raspberry Pi Ethernet not working?
1. Check for issues with SSID
Additionally, if your router supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless network, try using the 2.4GHz network. Try connecting the device to the network again and check for any improvements.
2. Check your home network for issues
If the Raspberry Pi not connecting to Ethernet or WiFi issue persists, consider updating your WiFi router’s firmware. Restoring the router settings to factory default and then reconfiguring the network device can also help if the issue is due to your home network and not Raspberry pi.
3. Reinstall Raspbian image
If reinstalling the latest version of Raspbian did not help, try downgrading to an older version to see if that works.
Why won’t my Raspberry Pi connect to Ethernet?
Your Raspberry Pi device may stop connecting to the WiFi if it detects issues with the SSID or other network configuration.
However, when the issue is with your Ethernet connection, it is usually a dead Ethernet port that is causing the issue.
We hope you managed to fix the Raspberry Pi Ethernet not working problem and that you can easily use the internet right now. Let us know your thoughts on the topic in the comments section below.
