ESP lost Wifi connection

[Dylantje]

mmm

My serval esp function wel on the nice esp easy software.
Only 1.....

This 1 is after a few day disconnect from my Wifi signal.
Is there perhaps a option to make the signal stronger, in the software?
Perhaps a extra antenna?
or perhaps a keep a live with the Wifi option?
Or a reconnect setting, with a http command [ witch i can send whit domoticz every x time ]

Hope there is a solution.
A extra repeater is my last option.. [ have 2 in my house ]

Hi,
I' m not able to answer from software point of view.

Regarding hw, you can use wemos d1 mini pro with connector on external antenna

Repeaters are not the best option. I recommend some strong wifi for exampe ubiquiti unifi ap

Better to have separate network subnet for sensors and route them where you want.

Hello Dylantje,

is the signal really that weak or is it another problem?

Can you check please:
- Does the ESP come back into the network if you switch power off and back on after some seconds?
- What's the RSSI value? (On main page of ESPEasy from that device)
- Which version of ESPEasy?

I've seen some WiFi routers / accesspoints making trouble for what reason ever out of nothing.
So maybe restart the router too might help sometimes.

I agree with Vojtishek: I don't like WiFi Repeaters too
If it is really a very weak signal the DS mini Pro might be a good idea.

For those using self made circuitry the ESP-07S might be an alternative:
Basically this is a ESP-12 (NOT a 12E/F, no GPIO9/10 and SPI pins)), 4MB and only connector for an external antenna, no internal antenna.

I thought there is a auto reconnect in the software?

Did you try to connect it to a laptop via usb?
check settings/state?
