I am noticing my ESP32 loses wifi connection at least 1-3 times a day. Reconnects can be between 5-10 minutes. One possible reason is that I am connected to a wifi network that hops between 2.4 and 5 ghz?The ESP32 isn’t very far from the router. 6 feet away with a wall in between. I have tried setting up a 2.4 network, but it still drops.
Can it be the microprocessor is bad? I have assigned a fix ip with my router. Would adding a fix ip in the config helps? I am running another similar device (ESP8266) with the same network settings and never loses connection.
