Heltec v3 WiFi issue

snag1es opened this issue · comments

Hi and congrats on the nice project
I experience an issue with the WiFi connection. Actually, after deploying the firmware the module very hard connects to WiFi and for some reason gets disconnected periodically. Using the same module on 868 Meshtastic networks I didn't expect the same issue. The module gets connected immediately after the firmware boots and stays stable and connected without dropping from the WiFi.
Also in the config, I enabled the Digi functionality using the syntax:

	"digi": {
		"active": true,
		"forward_timeout": 5,
		"beacon": true,
		"beacon_timeout": 15
	},

Still, when the module is disconnected I didn't see the package retransmited from the node. If I enable "tx_enable" in the LoRa section the module starts flooding with data coming from the Internet on 433.775 and becomes unusable because the traffic is huge.

Does software automatically switch in the LoRa section "tx_enable" from "false" to "true" when the Internet connection disappears and vice versa when the connection has been restored?

For the WiFi, I am using a standard 802.11 n WiFi access point with WPA2 Encryption
