    I've been having issues occasionally during high up times where wifi just stops responding.

    I created a macro that disables the wifi card, waits 2 seconds and then connects. This fixes the issue for me but I'm wondering if this could somehow be automated into the OS.

    Maybe ping the default gateway occasionally (or even make ping destination configurable), if the ping doesn't succeed, then do basically what my macro does to reconnect.

      I am pretty sure this is already part of the ESP firmware aka Duet WiFi Server. AFAIR you can query the number of automatic reconnects via M122.

      If this does not work for you, can you check this value by connecting to your board and sending M122 to it? Also, does the LED on the WiFi chip keep blinking when it disconnects or does it only remain off?

        M122

        I've seen the web interface unresponsive in two states, either completely off or just solid blue but not actually working.

        The toggle macro seems to work in either state and the printer is responsive from the paneldue.
