Pi Zero W - Keyboard input over SSH issue

Post by /RaspberryPi »


My Pi Zero W is doing something wonky.

When I SSH into a terminal (headless), it accepts keyboard input fine, until it doesn't. Then it will just hang there for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute, and then suddenly start responding again.

While it's hanging, I can scroll, and select text using the mouse, but it won't type, and right-click doesn't paste either. That said, I can access files over samba in both directions.

I've confirmed that my wifi isn't going into power saving, but I'm also a bit of an RPI noob, so I'm not sure if it might still be related.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Please?

P.S. It works perfectly fine if I plug in a keyboard and monitor, this issue is only present when I ssh into it.
