Wifi Connect Fails

Hello, I’m currently programming for WP7611 with Legato version 19.11.3. I’m facing an issue where if I try to connect to a hotspot on an iphone, I’m getting timeouts (-8 return code) at first and then upon successive connection attempts I’m getting error le_wifiClient_Connect failed: -14. It looks based on logs that is because of error in the wifi service.

pa_wifi_client.c pa_wifiClient_Connect() 1079 | WPA_SUPPLICANT is running already

If a connection fails to happen because of timeout, is there any cleanup needed before a second attempt?

Is it working fine for fw r13?

To make second attempt, you need to “wifi client stop”, also you might need to “app restart wifiService”

I have not tried in the R13 as there is none for WP7611. Only R16 firmware release on source sierra website. I’m making a custom application and everything works fine when connecting to home router, but when connecting to iPhone hotspot for tests, I get this intermittent behavior. How would I trigger the wifiService to restart via my custom app to account for this corner case?

You can write a script to trigger wifiservice restart

can any one guide me how to write a script file to restart WIFI Service

wifi client stop
app restart wifiService
