Wi-Fi DHCP Timeout

[saurabh_embrill]

Hello nordic community,

i have custom board that have nRF5340 and nRF7002, our requirement is to use wifi every 5 minutes (connect send data and disconnect) but randomly getting DHCP timeout error mentioned below, and also tested after increasing DHCP event time to 30 second but still is not working,

E: wait_for_next_event: Timeout waiting for Wi-Fi DHCP -> -11

Is there anything i am missing from driver side to solve this issue.

i am Using nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0.

Hello, 

Could you please share more about the following: 

• Which AP you are using
• More of the device log, or the full log

Please also let me know if you can reproduce this with an nRF7002 DK and/or on your custom board with a sample from nRF Connect SDK. 

Best regards, 

Maria
