I have been using a nightly build dated 2025-09-06 (WLED_0.16.0-alpha_ESP32_V4.bin); this has been working just fine on 4 ESP32 boards that I purchased from Amazon. Out of curiosity, I flash these units with the latest nightly (WLED_17.0.0-dev_ESP32.bin), dated 2026-04-04. I found that all of the devices will drop out from my Wifi network after a while and will not recover unless power is cycled. I flashed v16 nightly firmware and things will work perfectly again. I repeated this experiment 3 times and got the same results over 2 days. I don’t have a need to upgrade the firmware, but just wanted to mention this in case someone else may run into the same issue.
this is already fixed.
