Few times in day esp8266 becomes unavailable and reconnect between 5min-22min.
Why it gets disconnected?
Please help
Hi, maybe change “discount” in title to disconnect. No it seems like a commercial 
Can you show your yaml for the device? For instance, if you use mqtt but also have api in there, the api might reboot every 15 mins because it is not connected. How stable is the wifi? That too can cause connection loss and reboots. You might also want to take a look at the logs to see if there’s anything funny going on.

Here is HA logbook
Appart form these, I have 2 router haveing same wi-fi AP, called mi-fi for ground-floor and 1st-floor
Last time it was reported as wifi-strength was -40dB

Well the log seems ok. Capturing when it disconnects would be useful.
You had 3 other devices go unavailable at around the same time based on your first screenshot.
Are you sure this is an ESP issue and not something else? Are all those other devices using WiFi?
