are you sure the module freezes completely? Or can you still submit commands on the serial port? If so, you may take a look into this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1633. I had a problem that Wifi stops working after some time, whilst serial access and the module itself is ok. In the thread you will find a workaround using lua that worked for me.

Meanwhile...0.4A!!!

what is it doing with 0.4 A?

- Mon Mar 09, 2015 4:15 pm #11687 if I use

wifi.setmode(wifi.STATIONAP)

instead of

wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)

the module takes a constant current of about 0.1A. And now it seems really more stable.
