#68453
I put a 100uf cap in and it makes no difference. Here is the sketch I am using. I have my ssid and password field in on my sketch.
/* DHTServer - ESP8266 Webserver with a DHT sensor as an input
Based on ESP8266Webserver, DHTexample, and BlinkWithoutDelay (thank you)

// you need to increase the threshold for cycle counts considered a 1 or 0.

// of fiddling to find the right value, but in general the faster the CPU the
// higher the value. The default for a 16mhz AVR is a value of 6. For an
// Arduino Due that runs at 84mhz a value of 30 works.
