WiFi lost connectivity and never recovers after so many web refresh.
steps that already been taken..
1. factory RESET
2. use static instead of dhcp
3. set connection timeout to 1
4. use Graphical-Wifi-Utility
5. i just updated Libraries to the latest with Reef Angel Libraries Update Utility

seems like the wifi module is in some kind of timeout?

Has it always been like this or started recently?
It seems to be the same problem that Curt was having with one of the units he had.
He'd loose connectivity.
He sent me the unit for examination and I've had on and serving webpages for about a week and it never dropped on me as of yet.

It's even tucked inside my drawer to try to make it a weaker signal, but that didn't seem to have made any difference.
So, I'm not sure what the problem really is. The only thing I could think of is possibly router to wifi issues, but he also has a second wifi attachment that has been working fine for him on the same router.
Here is another thing you can try doing:
1. Connect the wifi attachment to USB-TTL cable and use your prefered terminal softwate, such as Ter-Term, putty or any other.
2. Use commands:

Code: Select all

$$$
ftp u
These commands will download the latest firmware from the manufacturer ftp server and update the module.
If it still doesn't work, send me a PM for RMA.

Does any LED stay on or blink, besides the usual slow green blink?

If i use the leave command, all ligths will blink, same with the join command.
connection will establish and then drop and never recover..
