<p dir="auto">technically they should have the same range however metal in the case and crappy antenna design on the phone can cause issues.<br />
Also the phones software may decide not to work.<br />
If a phone is not switched off (fully off not standby or sleep) data stored in memory will cause the phone not to detect properly.<br />
I have seen this with samsung, sony and apple phone, and also with both linux, windows and OSX based computers!<br />
Best tip I can find is to delete all stored connections to wifi networks, switch off wifi, Do a full powerdown of pc/phone. wait 5 mins, then reboot device.</p>

Try?</p>
<p dir="auto">(If you use M5ez, you can see if it's still connected, and it will auto-connect when it sees a know access point, so that's easy to test with...)</p>

<p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>
<p dir="auto">I also want to ask that will it auto disconnect from the wifi when it is no internet access? Or I have to use WiFi.disconnect() to force it disconnect? when i walk too far from the router, it still connect to the wifi but cannot connect to internet</p>

<p dir="auto">I've also noticed it's not bad at all for a device whose makers could spend only a fraction of the development budget of the Apples and Samsungs of the world. But then smartphones have way, way more throughput than an ESP32.</p>
