I posted the following to the Facebook Anet and RPi forums, but have to response yet. So, I'll give it a shot here for you IT gurus:
I've been having a consistent condition with Octopi/Octoprint. When I first turn on my printer, I don't get the Octoprint icon on my Network list in File Manager. I turn off the power, wait ten seconds, restore power and the Octoprint icon appears. I click into it and the browser opens normally.
Now, adding to the intrigue of the situation, I logged into my wifi router Monday morning to see what was happening. When I first turned on the printer/RPi, the wifi statistics page on my router showed another connection, but no icon on File Manager. After waiting a few minutes, I powered down and the wifi entry went away. I re-powered, the wifi entry reappeared and the File Manager Network icon popped in. The MAC address on the router list was the same in both conditions.
Suggestions???
ps: Once I have established the link to the RPi via wifi, it stays solid.
