- Tue May 05, 2015 2:11 pm #16617 Having the same issue 'LmacRxBlk:1', collecting 25 frames of 112 bytes per second after 15 minutes or so.

is there a function to ensure the buffers are fully released ?

the only relevant wifi routines my loop contains are..

cb = udp.parsePacket();
udp.read(packetBuffer, PACKET_SIZE);

with global ..
const int PACKET_SIZE = 1536;
byte packetBuffer[PACKET_SIZE]; //buffer to hold incoming and outgoing packets

I just increased the string size to cope with 48 LED up from 35 and on the bench on a better decoupled power supply it is
working fine after an hour so far despite the larger throughput.
I am using an AMS1117 in both cases but with no capacitor on the LED string, I should know better..
