Erratic ping in "Station" mode

Hello,

We are using the ESP32-C3 with the AT firmware V3.3.0.0.

In "SoftAP" mode, the ping of the ESP32-C3 is excellent and steady.
In "Station" mode, the ping of the ESP32-C3 is erratic (sometimes < 30 ms and sometimes > 100 ms).

@ other users: could you please tell me about your personal ESP32 ping experience ?

@ Espressif: is it possible to improve the ping in Station mode ?

Thank you in advance for you help.

Probably because modem power saving is enabled. I don't know how to disable that in AT mode, though.

Please send `AT+SLEEP=0` command to disable sleep mode.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer.

Before posting in the forum i was already suspicious regarding the "power control" functions and i was investigating about the command "AT+CWPOWER" but i discovered that the ESP32-C3 does not handle it, and i was not able to find the command "AT+SLEEP".

The ping in Station mode is excellent now with "AT+SLEEP=0", same as in SoftAP mode.

Thank you again !
