Wifi Connectivity is lost if incompatible preset/setting is applied

Open lovrenco opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

I know it sounds strange, but that is exactly what happens if I apply some frequency that gives "sync out of range" on monitor.

Device disconnects form local network, I need to reset it few times to be able to access not through IP, but its default network

EDIT: I change output frequency on the Amiga, different driver, different resolution and output frequency.

I tested today. I used "Source pass through" option, monitor went out of sync and ESP (Wemos D1) disappeared form LAN (no ping), and his default network appeared, so I had to connect to it and reset options to get Wifi back.

My device is disconnecting like 2 mins right after turning ESP on...

This happened to me too, but only if the wemos is directly on top of the GBS8200, it works much better if it is next to it! (probably the interference is just too much for the little wemos to handle!) Maybe there is a way to hack an ethernet port onto it for better connectivity?

Ethernet is hard. What you want to try is an ESP8266 module with external antenna connector + an antenna that's mounted a bit away from the scaler.

I just started researching that and it seems the wemos D1 mini pro has that option! Will try that one for sure!

Also check you are providing at least 2amps, happened to me when I was powering it with lower amperage

For me it happens also when a compatible setting is applied. PassThrough mode always disables my Wifi connection of the ESP. When connecting a PS2 over Component the Wifi connection works fine, as long as I scale the output. Connecting a SNES to the RGB with a sync stripper works perfect but also disables the Wifi connection, even when I scale it.
