Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/938

I have an interesting problem where the esp Client fails to get an IP address from the AP. It then configures itself as an AP for configuration. I have added an option to try multiple times before falling back into AP configuration mode. This has fixed my problem as the IP is often given out on the second attempt.

Should I send a pull request to you for the code changes or is this not something you’re interested in ?

This sounds like the disconnect bug.
You can try disconnecting first then connecting.

Thanks for your help. This might be because I don’t disconnect at the end of my program it just powers off iirc. Let me investigate and come back to you.

Excuse my ignorance here but should we be disconnecting from the WiFi network before we leave. I can not see an obvious way to do do this. I see there is a WiFi.Disconnect() routine but I'm not sure how to call that from WiFiManager. Is it ok just to send the data to the server and then power off? or should i be telling the AP i'm disconnecting before powering off.

ESP8266 2.5.2

This seems to have solved it :-)

 wifiManager.disconnect();
 if ( ! wifiManager.autoConnect(ssid.c_str(), "foobar")) {

Any idea why we need to do this ?

I'm so pleased you managed to solve this. @tablatronix . It was a real hack I put in to try to connect 3 times :-/
