Bad connection

[Tipmanfrank]

I have been testing again. I have a lot of time outs on ping and the http://IP/_ac or http://IP is answering very slowly.

I don't understand what happens.
It seems like it is sometimes running ok.

char content[] = "Kapsejlads.nu - HORN

Server.send(200, "text/plain", content);
}

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("SETUP START");

// Input Output

Serial.println("I/O OK");

// AUTOCONNECT
Config.apid = "Kapsejlads-horn";
Config.psk = "Kapsejlads.nu";
Portal.config(Config);
Serial.println("AUTO CONNECT OK");

BUTTON_START_DATA = digitalRead(START_DATA);
Serial.print(" BUTTON_START_DATA = ");
Serial.println(BUTTON_START_DATA);
// if(BUTTON_START_DATA==HIGH){
//SHOW AUTOCONNECT SCREEN //(OFF with button during startup)
Server.on("/", rootPage);
if (Portal.begin()) { //SWITCH ON NETWORK MAN SCREEN
Serial.println(" WiFi connected: " + WiFi.localIP().toString());
}
Serial.println("ROOTPAGE OK");
// }
Serial.println("BUTTON WIFI START OK");

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Portal.handleClient();
Serial.println(millis());

}

I cannot reproduce the problem in my environment.

Generally, when extreme response delays occur with such a mundane and basic sketch, the following conditions should be checked:

1. Sufficient power and current
   A common failure is an insufficient current. Current consumption increases, especially when SoftAP is activated simultaneously. Most importantly, the voltage drop on the VBUS (5V) line due to inrush current must be less than 330mV. Can the power supply lines connected to your ESP32 module (especially the LDO on the ESP module) withstand that?

2. LAN segment configuration with WiFi access points
   Are there any obstacles in the path of your network with your WiFi access points? Does your WiFi network broadcast on different channels with the same SSID? Are you able to isolate them?

Then, Isolate AutoConnect to narrow down the cause of the problem and verify it with some example sketches provided by the ESP32 WebServer library.

Then, if AutoConnect behavior is still not stable, please refer to the documentation here and provide the information I need to investigate.

• Build with Core Debug Level=Verbose in the Arduino IDE and investigate any logs that may be contributing to the delay.
• Enable the AC_DEBUG macro to get AutoConnect traces. Investigate error factors as well as core debug logs. See the Documentation here.

Until I find out that the cause lies in AutoConnect, I will temporarily move to Discussions.
