Ip Connectivity Windows 10 unstable

[js1234]

Hello,

I use the espressif as AP and with libwebsockets.

On ubuntu laptop I can connect without problem and ping 192.168.4.1.

On Windows 10 Laptop I can connect but ping is very unstable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Especially when there is a lot of Wifi traffic it does not work well.

I tried an USB-Dongle -> same problem. When I use the USB-Dongle in a Virtual Machine (Ubuntu on WIndows 10) it works without problems. So the problem seems to be on the Windows 10 side.

Has anyone experienced same issues or any ideas for workarounds? I should use Windows 10.

I see similar behavior on Windows 10 using my MacBook Pro built-in WiFi (bootcamp mode). No issues with external USB adapter I picked up from Adafruit.

This worked for me:

1. Right click the wireless icon in the bottom left of Windows 10 taskbar.
2. Choose Open Network and Sharing Center.
3. Select Change adapter settings on the left side.
4. Right click your wireless connection that is having latency issues and choose Properties.
5. Click Configure.
6. Next go to Advanced tab and change the following values and save your settings:
• 802.11n channel width for 2.4GHz connections to 20MHz only.
• Prefered Band to 2.4GHz.
• Roaming Aggressiveness to 1.
• Wireless mode to 802.11b/g.
