My roowifi adapter resets randomly. I didn’t yet record all the reset events to track them on a timeline, but that’s happening for sure.
I set it to my home wifi, then it works fine for a few days, so I can access it via LAN by its IP (mapped via DHCP).
Then, after a while, I can’t access it anymore, and the default ad-hoc wifi is activated again.
Any firmware updates or specific recommendations I should follow to have it solved?
Thanks!
Hi,
There are two reasons why the RooWiFi would restore back to the default Wi-Fi Mode.
Restore button
RooWifi enables you to restore the default Wi-Fi mode (Hot-Spot) manually if
any problem exists during the connection or other kind of issue (ex: Forgotten IP
address without DHCP).
To restore the default Wi-Fi parameters only need to push the button over
the RooWifi during 6 seconds. After this event will see how the Led is blinking 1 time
per second (the board is working in HotSpot mode). This procedure doesn’t change
the user/password properties of the webserver, only restore the network and the WiFi
connection properties.
Auto-restore function
RooWifi detects when the connection is lost and after safety reconnections time it restores to the default parameters.
It is possible that the RooWifi loses its connection and then, restores to the default parameters.
This could be an issue with your router, which could possibly time off connections that are active for an amount of time via Wireless. There are some routers that after a few days, disconnect the wireless connections.
Please verify in your router configuration and add the RooWifi MAC address / IP as an exception to this rule.
