Scaling 240p to 1080p cuts off wifi connection and 240p pass through can't be detected by my OSSC #425

For some reason my Esp8266 loses its connection to my router when upscaling 240p to 1080p. Also my OSSC and TV don't recive a signal when the output is 240p. I think that might be a sync problem. Just in case it is necessary, I use a pal wii with a component cable and I play at 60Hz 240p so pal 60Hz.

I have the exact same issue, I have re-flashed the ESP8266 a number of times and it connects to the wifi and I can access the WebUI but the minute I switch resolution 1080p the connection drops, the GBS Control still shows up as connected in the UI of my router but the GBS-C WebUI is unresponsive. It sometimes after 30 minutes comes back though but rarely. I've gone as far back as flashing my unit with the commit from Jun 8, 2022 (when I first built my GBS-C) still the same issue. I'm gonna swap the ESP-8266 with a new one and see. Starting to think it's a hardware issue vs code issue as it was working fine for many months.

It is the common problem with the WiFi, as first described in the wiki: https://github.com/ramapcsx2/gbs-control/wiki/various-notes#esp8266-wifi-connection A proper fix is difficult, but I can recommend that you try to change the ESP8266 position, or try to change the router WiFi channel. Also, as noted in the wiki, the heatsink of the GBS chip acts as an amplifier for the disturbances. I don't want to recommend something potentially problematic too much.. (but I ran the GBS without that heatsink fine, and it improved the WiFi ;p)

Thank you so much, I can't believe it was that simple to fix the issue. I've moved the 2.4ghz band to channel 6 (11 didn't work 100%) and here we are changing settings again! I'll check for a more permanent fix but for now it works great! Thank you again!

Sure, but I need to disappoint you. It will reappear randomly, as some factors that provoke the problem are variable. It is a very annoying issue :p

This happens to me as well, where in the web UI I see the no-wifi icon flashing; however, strangely I'm still able to press on buttons and options which seem to go through, despite the UI not updating properly. It's janky, but it works.
