+==== Raspberry Pi Dropping of Wireless Network ====
-wireless dropping out on ntp server
+I found my raspberry Pi Zero, that is using the official Raspberry Pi Wireless Dongle drops off the wireless network after around a week. Only a reboot gets it back (as I have no keyb/mouse connected) so I figured just using Cron to reboot the thing every 24 hours will be a suitable work around.
+\\
+\\
+To use cron (should already be installed):
+\\
+\\
+    sudo crontab -e (reboots require super user rights)
+\\
+Insert the following line:
+\\
+\\
+0   *   *   *    /sbin/shutdown -r
+\\
+Explanation:
+\\
+\\
+<file>
+m      h    dom        mon   dow       command
+minute hour dayOfMonth Month dayOfWeek commandToRun
+so the line
+0   *   *   *    /sbin/shutdown -r
+would reboot your system every day at 00:00.
+</file>
+\\
+Use Ctrl+X, Y, Enter. This will save and exit crontab (if using nano)
