I'm using the 3.3v output from arduino. Why?

Well, it is mentionned several times in the forum that the ESP needs around 300mA in surge when transmitting.
The Arduino 3.3V is limited to 100mA, this means that during the surges, the 3.3V will drop strongly.
You need an external 3.3V power supply. If you don't have one, take a 5V and add a 3.3V Linear Regulator.

I know it.. But the module work very well without any problems!
