I can?connect my X6100 to my WiFi network, and WFView "works" (minimally, more about that in another topic!)

But, after a period of time, the X6100 drops the WiFi connection. Of course, WFView can't work then!

Access point for the 6100 is maybe 6' away, has a good strong connection. Ping doesn't report errors, until the WiFi disconnects. Other devices connected through the same access point don't have errors.

If I turn the X6100 off, then back on, the connection is restored.

Is this a known X6100 behavior, and can it be changed? I want to just leave the radio on and connected, accessing it with WFView.

TIA for any Wisdom!

There is plenty of chatter about the wifi circuit sitting inside a metal case and not being reliable or having any connection distance. Probably not what you want to hear, but an ethernet connection is the way to go. This one works for me and it's all of $14:

Paul,

I've been able to maintain a connection to an AP with a strong signal indefinitely with Xiegu firmware.? If you're using DHCP, there is a periodic refresh of the 'lease' with time dependent on router (typically) settings.

If the connection is dropping on a predictable schedule, I'd suspect the router is unhappy with it for some reason.? Try a static IP address if you're using DHCP and see if that makes any difference.

Hmmm. My access point is about 6' away, and delivers a strong signal. DHCP doesn't seem to work in the 6100 for WAN connections, so it's turned off. It's set for a static IP that's valid on my network (and it's been reserved in the network!)

The WAN is actually turning?off--the icon on the screen goes away.

Thanks for your thoughts,
