Hi Martin,

Interesting, thanks very much for posting back and letting us know the cause of the issue. 

Glad to hear you now have this working.

Hi Edward,

just to make my discoveries complete here:

My ArtNet module stopped receiving ArtPoll packets after one minute. That was most likely because the DHCP lease time of the AP was due and the AP maybe cleared its ARP cache for that device . Therefore my device stopped sending ArtPollReply packets and the FLX console removed it after a few seconds from the devices list.

Two minutes later the connection suddenly comes back without doing anything. Short before the connection came back I saw in Wireshark my device sending a "gratuitous ARP" packet, which seems to make the connection alive again. I don't know why it's doing this, must be some internal ESP8266 mechanism. I didn't program it to do that.

After that the connection seemed to be stable for at least 5 minutes or more (didn't test any longer).
RDM or in the console it's called "RigSync" was off all the time.

I can provide a Wireshark capture file if someone is interested.
