Raspberry Pi doesn't have a good internet connection

It is possible that your laptop has a reliable and fast connection to internet but your Raspberry Pi doesn't. To test that:

1. Figure out the IP address of your Raspberry Pi. There are several ways to do so but you can also use OctoPrint Anywhere for that:

2. SSH to Raspberry Pi.

3. Once you are in Raspberry Pi, run this command echo ' ' | nc -q 1 -v www.getanywhere.io 443 >/dev/null and you should see a success message as in this screenshot. If not, you need to make sure the Raspberry Pi is properly connected to your wifi router.
