I was using Wlan0 but in the middle I do not know where I messed up wlan0 wasn't starting automatically instead my pi3 was trying to connect through ethernet with LAN cable plugged in, so I unplugged LAN cable it was still not having wlan0 started automatically so I have put this below line in /etc/rc.local

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifup wlan0

Is it ok to put in /etc/rc.local I am doubting because earlier it used to start automatically without this line in rc.local?

Contents of /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

What's the content of /etc/network/interfaces ? – Domme Aug 27 '16 at 17:04
Without commenting on the strategy itself, don't use `sudo` in `/etc/rc.local`; it's run by init with privileges. If you wish to test it, then use `sudo rc.local` instead. – goldilocks Aug 27 '16 at 17:08
@Domme I have added content of `/etc/network/interfaces` – Ciasto piekarz Aug 28 '16 at 05:34
