Reboots Networking Products

This device keeps rebooting. stays active for about a minute and then restarts. Double checked I'm not pulling the contacts up/down which I shouldn't, tried even the simplest blinking routines. same problem. Get real Lolin Wemos D1 and check if this version is bad. will be updated if the issue persists with boards from other manufacturers. UPDATE: The Lolin Wemos d1 Pro Mini board worked for a long time without any problems. In the time it took me to get this unit, I did some more troubleshooting with it. On git esp8266 some users reported problems with this kind of board which are not stable. It was narrowed down due to the layout and overall design where the radio was either overloading the onboard LDO or interfering with the ESP. The solution was to set the low WiFi output power "WiFi.setOutputPower(16);" and disable "WiFi.persistent(false);".

Pros
