- Thu Feb 12, 2015 3:10 am #9536 Hi,
I'm still struggling with this issue. The only thing I found meanwhile is that the same thing occurs sometimes for a TCP client connecting to api.thingspeak.com. Sometimes the call (send() via TCP) works without issues (ane the request is received by thingspeak server), and sometimes, just after the write() I get the call registered by espconn_reg_reconn_cb (). Of course, in this situation the wi-fi connection works correctly. I'm not yet sure if this is a problem with the client (esp8266) or the server (thingspeak).

One more thing: the wi-fi reconnect seems to be related to the version of my software that is flashed to espressif. I wonder if there can be some memory value, which should be cleared directly, but it is not - and it's value is random and depends on the code being flashed into memory. Something like

Code: Select allstationConf.bssid_set = 0;

which is not obvious to set. Do you know any other 'gotchas' like that?

If I use say lua loader to disconnect the wifi on the chip then reconnect it's fine again.

It's almost like the wifi is going to sleep or something?

BTW using the latest lua firmware.

Also noticed the chip not appearing in the routers (tp-link archer c2) dhcp table at all...

Any ideas anyone?

It seems that memory or buffer need to be cleaned or reset to resolve it.
