Hi, is there a simple way to check if the module is connected to the internet and not in AP mode?
Sometimes the module loses connection to the router and stays that way or enters in AP mode.
I want to check periodically if I have access to the internet or not... and If not reboot the module...
TIA
JB

How about pinging your router?
The sketch here may provide a starting point :-

How exactly is wifi.ssid() to be used? I suspect the solution to this thread lies in this command, but somehow I could never get it to work.
Is this supposed to return the name of the AP the ESP is actually connected to, or just the AP listed in the settings page, regardless of the connection status?
I could not get this command to work for either possibilities.
