Mesa 7i76e connection lost

In booth cases the same issue, there is no network setup for use with Mesa board, PC must have a static IP address to communicate with Mesa, the manual refers to setting the board IP to default 192.168.1.121 or to set it to 10.10.10.10. Depending on the above, the PC network should be set to 192.168.1.100 OR 10.10.10.11.
Never used WiCD so no idea how to set it to manual, but a quick search should return plenty of results, search for Linux WiCD, not LinuxCNC WiCD.

The docs outline how to make connections manually
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man9/hm2_eth.9.html

If you are loosing wifi, try 2.4gHz as it has better range. I solved my problems doing that.

Thanks a lot. Problem solved.
I should have read the official doccumentation instead of following a youtube video promoting WiCD.
