WiFi not connecting if iGate is turned on before WiFi AP #110

Closed 1tilen closed 2 weeks ago

1tilen commented 3 weeks ago

I have my WiFi router and iGate connected to the same power strip. I noticed that if I unplug the power strip and plug it in iGate would not connect to WiFi. After inspecting everything I noticed that this only happens in case when iGate boots up before my router.

When I give power to my iGate it turns on its AP which is normal behaviour. My WiFi takes around 1 minute more than iGate to turn on. After the WiFi Timeout which I have set to 10 min iGate does not connect to WiFi.

In case I plug iGate after my WiFi is turned on iGate normally connects to WiFi and works as it is supposed to.

I have also Beta DiGipeater backup mode turned on if it maybe helps you with diagnosis.

Maybe something like this: iGate turns on, if there is no WiFi turn on AP. After the AP timeout check again.

Do you think this could work?

Thanks! 73 de S54B

there is a solution already in github code (2024.06.04)

file : /src/LoRa_APRS_iGate.cpp

line58: uncomment //#define STARTUP_DELAY 5 //min

this will make the igate wait 5 min to try to connect to wifi and wait for the router to have valid internet info

I turned on the delay ad it fixed my issue. Thank you, Tilen
