Printing in client mode hangs while in AP mode works ok

[randomev]

I have experienced many times failed prints when printing in wifi client mode. I use Doodle3D along with Cura to print wirelessly.

I suspect that Doodle3D disconnects from my router every once in a while.

I printed the same 4 hour print many times and it usually hangs in some way if I print it while connected to my workshop wlan in client mode.

This does not occur if I print it in AP-mode, eg. Doodle3D is creating it's own wifi-network. I have now printed 2 times that 4 hour print and both prints went just fine.

So I suspect that if Doodle3D is connected to wifi in client mode and wifi disappears / disconnects, Doodle3D will stop printing. It would be nice that printing would continue even if network connection is temporarily lost.

@randomev I've had the same experience with some longer prints, but we haven't had the time to look into it. You're research might already be a step into the right direction, thanks for that.
Since the box operates independently of a connection and the connection should not influence the driver (unless of course you are still sending the print) I can't explain this right away, we'll look into it.
I have two logs of my own where it hang, but you're welcome to share the logs when you run into issue's that helps us a great deal in finding the issue.
