I guess that when you connect the serial the Arduino Mega does a reset. Can you wake the wifi by just pressing the reset button. Either later or by holding the button 5 seconds while applying power?

I found Mega2560 is not working fine with my ASUS ax86u router, it can stably work fine with Asus ac-5300

Thanks for your remind that every time when I plug in serial table, Mega is reset, after that I found my mega is not working stable with Asus ax86u 2.4G band.

Is this what is usually called the Mega+WiFi? Both on one board? We have seen some reliability issues with that board. Many work, but some do not. We have not had issues with the ESP01s or the WiFi shields we recommend. But thank you for the report and for letting us know that some of the issues could be communication with specific routers

Yes, that is correct, it's the combined board.
