I know we shouldnt do it, but we are trying to solve every eventuality as the device will be out of reach.
We have figured it out.
We have a job that checks if it can ping our firewall.
If it cant, it runs nmcli c up id {wifi network name}
This runs on a cron job every 5 minutes.
Working perfectly now.
For anyone that comes across this and needs a full answer, below is what we have set up.
ping -c2 {IP address the machine can ping such as 8.8.8.8}
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
nmcli c up id {wifi name}
fi
Once the above is saved as a file (we saved it as /home/pi/check.sh), you then set up a cron job.
Go to crontab -e
At the bottom add the bellow line to have the file run every 5 minutes:
*/5 * * * * sudo /home/pi/check.sh
