Completely unreliable wifi - suggestions please
Post Body

I'm having annoying and weird issues with wifi in WLED. I have a Dig-Quad with external antenna. WLED will drop offline multiple times a day for a minute or so, and then eventally drop offline completely until I restart it.

I have HomeAssistant set up to ping it and here's the connected/disconnected view for the day:

The grey lines being disconnects (or failure to respond to a ping).

I have a TP-Link Deco mesh wifi with a separate 2.4GHz network, which WLED is connected to. The odd thing is, when WLED disconnects for a long time, I can still see it showing as connected to the Deco in the Deco app, with good signal strength, and often with 1kb up/down traffic. It's almost like it's still connected to the wifi, but is just not responding to network requests.

Some more info about my network setup, in case it is relevant: OPNsense router, TP-Link Decos hardwired via Unifi switch, many other devices work fine apart from ESP devices, which tend to have similar problems to this (but not as bad as WLED).

I'm fairly sure it's some incompatibility between ESP's wifi implementation and my network setup, but I can't work out what.
