Watchdog.

It might happen that your Raspberry Pi stops working for no reason at all. The screen is frozen, mouse nor the keyboard is working.
Even our Alive safeguard can't restart the Rpi.
That's why we advise you to use the watchdog found in the Raspberry Pi hardware; it's the only way to get the RPi up and running again.

Install the watchdog.

  1. Enable the watchdog in the configuration by adding an extra line at the end.
$ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
# add 
dtparam=watchdog=on
# save and close with <Ctrl>+<X>, <Y>, <Enter>

2) Click "Turn on wireless LAN", and wait a few seconds. Your RPi will scan for available networks.

4) Give your key, and wait a couple of seconds to let the RPi establish the connection.

5) Success!
