How can i run code after a WiFi router with no internet access

[copinthearea]

Good Timing

I am trying to run a code to see if the wifi is connected to the internet, but when i run this line of code:

myBot.wifiConnect(ssid, pass); <-- I put this on void Setup(){}

It seems that this line of code is in a loop, if my router is without internet access!!

But if it is with internet it works fine.

So the point is, How to run a code once in the setup, to see if my wifi is working with internet, and how to restart the ESP8266 if it is not.

I tried everything ChatGPT, but no success!

After this command: myBot.wifiConnect(ssid, pass); it does not run the code line bellow it!

Also, i tried this too:

` bool wifiConnected = myBot.wifiConnect(ssid, pass);

// Print the result if (wifiConnected) { Serial.println("WiFi connected successfully!"); } else { Serial.println("WiFi connection failed!"); }`

I want to run a code even if it is not connected to the internet.

I want to know if my wifi is working, if it is not, restart the ESP8266 Board!

Hello copinthearea,

all the WiFi methods are "helper function". In other words, you can use your WiFi connection methods to establish a connection to the router. Anyway the method wifiConnect() by default wait until a connection is established as you have seen before. If you want to break the loop after a while, you can set the number of tries by using the method setMaxConnectionRetries(uint8_t retries). Here an example (snippet) of code:

<your code here>
...
   myBot.setMaxConnectionRetries(10);
   if (!myBot.wifiConnect(mySSID, myPassword)) {
      Serial.println("WiFi connection NOT established.");
   } else {
      Serial.prinln("Connection established!");
   }
...

Here you can find some info about all the helper functions.

Hope this help, regards.
