Hi,

Are you able to reproduce the issue when connecting to other networks?

I was not able to reproduce the issue on my side.

Best regards,
Marte

Hello,

I have my modified sta example here I found it in "C:\ncs\v2.6.1\nrf\samples\wifi\sta". The only change is the timeout set to SYS_FOREVER_MS and the SSID and CONFIG_STA_KEY_MGMT_NONE for my router.

To run set the SSID for your router in the prj.conf. Build and flash nrf7002-dk board. The UART prints out:

Pinging from the pc:

After 15 minutes:

No change on serial:

Here is the example and the log for CONFIG_WPA_SUPP_LOG_LEVEL_DBG:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../8764.sta.zip devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../CONFIG_5F00_WPA_5F00_SUPP_5F00_LOG_5F00_LEVEL_5F00_DBG.txt

Hi,

Can you try setting CONFIG_WPA_SUPP_LOG_LEVEL_DBG=y in prj.conf to get debug logs from the WPA supplicant?

Can you share your project so I can try reproducing it on my side? Please also include instructions for how to reproduce it. If you do not want to share your code in a public ticket, let me know and I will make it private.

Best regards,
Marte

Hello,

Switching to version 2.6.1 or 2.7.0 did not improve WIFI reliability. I did not have the antenna attached to the board before but adding it did not change the boards reliability. Do you think it could be that my router is somehow breaking the connection? It would be helpful if someone could try to reproduce this error.

Thanks.

Hi,

SDK v2.6.1 included some fixes related to Wi-Fi connectivity. Can you test with either this version or v2.7.0 and see if you still experience the same issue?

Best regards,
Marte
