RPi Zero 2 W loses internet connection

Hello,

I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit (bookworm release) and have updated all packages. I rely on the Pi to continuously fetch information from the internet, so the internet connection must remain stable. Unfortunately, even using a lighter bookworm OS with a fresh installation, my Pi loses internet connectivity, and also the pi has become laggy and choppy to use.

I've encountered this issue with both a WiFi connection and an ethernet connection.

I prefer to continue using bookworm, but I'm unsure how to resolve this issue. Could you please assist me?

Thank you!

I recommend that use bullseyes on raspberry pi Zero or Raspberry pi 2 W,

you said connectivity issue : there may be interference in wifi channel check channel strength and band , in Ethernet check cable(and pin) condition.

you prefer to continue using bookworm: remind you that "Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W" has 1GHz processor and 512MB(LPDDR2) ~400 Hz of ram, you will face lag , choppness using GUI Desktop.

still want to stay in bookworm then remove unnecessary package use minimal desktop and remove unnecessary item from startup.or use CLI version.

PS: i tried every method to run bookworm in Zero/ 2W but not satisfied with performance

Please use 32 bit version, pi0 was didn't have enough memory to process 64bit with only 512m RAM. You can use PI OS Lite 32 bit version (bookworm).
