During troubleshooting for Logpulse, the last version installed on a Sonoff Basic.

ESP_Easy_mega-20191208_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin

I immediately noticed that the Wifdi connection is extremely unstable with this image.
I downgrade to version 2.0X and the connection is good again.

Is this a known problem?

Did you do a upgrade on that unit or was it a clean install?

I flashed the blank,1024 bin file previously.

Could you test a build from around end of September?

I just tried the build ESPEasy_mega-20190928.
no improvement, but I think it is not the wifi connection.
According to the log of my Aruba WiFi infrastructure the connection is stable, there must be problems on IP level.
(On a normal plastic router I have also tested it, the same behavior.)
Can the internal firewall in ESP be the problem?
(in the ESPEASY version 2018*** there was no filtering on network level)
Different chip in the Sonoff Basic?
The board says: Sonoff TH_V1.1

the S26 has no problems with interruptions in any build.

The filtering should not be a problem, unless you will be switching subnets (e.g. using a vpn or using an access point as a router and not a bridge to your network)
That filtering only applies to the website access, it should still work fine with controllers etc.

I can't confirm that.
it filters all IP traffic. A ping can't get through from another subnet.
My IoT devices have their own Wifi and network.

But for testing I was also in the network with my notebook. Everywhere the same problem.

Then it isn't the filter I added roughly 1.5 years ago (or was it 2 years already).
That subnet filter is only acting on the web pages.

If you even can't ping, then we have a different issue at hand here.
It sounds like the node doesn't receive an IP address. (or doesn't set it active)

I've tried DHCP and static IP. It makes no difference.

Sporadically, a ping comes through.
If the subnet filtering (default) is on you can never ping from the normal client net. therefore my question for an internal fw rule.

i found this old thread.
#2088

the plastic router test only had letters as wpa key.

In the productive IoT wifi i use # and ! as special characters.

This is most likely outdated by many improvements in the WiFi department. Issue can be closed.
