Hi. I have a 1m string of 144 ws2812b LEDs with a wemos mini d1 connected on mains power (I’m in the UK and it’s connected to a mains faceplate with a USB port). Suddenly, I can’t connect to it about 95% of the time.
The problem exists regardless of whether I try and connect using the WLED+ app or via the static IP address of the string of lights.
I had set it to a different wifi channel than my home network to avoid any kind of contention issue and initially that seemed to resolve the issue, then it suddenly became problematic again.
If I unplug and replug the lights, there is the initial flash which confirms that it is powered, and sometimes when it turns on, it’ll go to the default orange but then I can’t get to the lights to change the settings.
Please can someone help? I really don’t know what I’m doing with this unfortunately. The setup was made for me by someone I am no longer able to communicate with to get support from so I’m kind of feeling my way in the dark wtih this. I’m not the most computer-literate person and everything seems really technical and I’m feeling very lost and wondering whether I should just throw the damn thing away 
[Edit - this is about the closest I get 98% of the time, then just occasionally it will actually connect]
