The only way to address losing the wifi connection is to reduce the distance
to between the maslow and the device you are connecting to or put a
directional antenna on the thing you are connecting to.
If @bar ever does a run of controllers with a different EXP32 module that
accepts an external antenna, that could be a fix on the maslow side, but
unless you are going to unsolder the module and solder on a replacement,
there is no fix that we can do.
Sorry, I should have added that this is after you make sure that your computer
is not disconnecting your for it’s reasons.
These reasons can be:
there is no Internet connection when the maslow is in AP mode, some OSs
really want the Internet and will disconnect from the maslow to try other
networks.
aggressive power savings, windows in particular will try to put the wifi to
sleep to save power, disconnecting you
AP refers to access point mode. When your computer is directly connected to the maslow WiFi. You would see in you Wi-Fi settings in your computer that you were attached to Maslow as a network. This generally is used to talk to the robot in order to set it up and give the Maslow the WiFi password to your main home network. Once the Maslow can connect to your local home network then people usually connect to the maslow by passing through their local network router by going to an address like maslow.local or 192.1……. Which you can find by logging in to your home router.
Your laptop may drop this connection because current computer security doesn’t like to connect to networks that aren’t connected to the Internet partly for convenience and partly because people set up dummy networks to trap people and grab credentials
