Vision Sensor wifi not functional

[techie_teacher]

I am hoping to use the vision sensors as a remote video link for an in-class competition, but am having two problems:

1. The frame rate consistently drops to below 2 FPS or stops all together within a few seconds of connecting. Refreshing the browser sometimes fixes this for a second or two.
2. The wifi regularly goes offline within minutes of turning on the V5 brain, and does not go back online without rebooting it.

Setup:

• Vision wifi is turned on in the V5 brain settings.
• I am connecting using Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to 192.168.1.1
• Vision sensor is plugged in to port 16
• Vision sensor is configured to port 16 in VexCode Text
• Vision sensor is not referenced anywhere else in the code.
  *Range from robot to PC: < 15 feet

I don’t think the code is the problem, but I have included it anyway just in case:
