I am having trouble with my esp8266’s not reconnecting to my wifi network if I lose power to them.

I have to reconnect to the WLED access point and repoint it to my wifi network, or in some occasions I have had ESP’s not even give me the option to connect to it and am unable to fix the issue.

My wifi network is 2.4ghz and works well on my other devices.

Have you tried WLED-NATIVE? For whatever reason, it seems to connect better.
