While running this example code, is only possible to toggle the links slowley,
when making a trace of the ethernet trafic I see the following data between the http command and response: "new client" and "client disconnected"
after commenting all Serial.println statements it works fast and good.
how do i prevent the Serial.println to only go to the serial output and not going to the ethernet?
you are correct serial should not end up going to the internet, but the wireshark trace shows that this is the case
Arduino IDE 2.3.2
the default code from File, Examples, Examples for Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, WifiS3, Ap_simpleWebServer
Arduino UNO R4 Wifi firmware version 0.4.1
Since I don't have the IDE open in front of me would you mind posting that code here so I'm not trying to work from bad memory? Hopefully that isn't too much trouble for you.
/*
WiFi Web Server LED Blink
A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web.
This sketch will create a new access point (with no password).
It will then launch a new server and print out the IP address
to the Serial Monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser
to turn on and off the LED on pin 13.
If the IP address of your board is yourAddress:
http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on
http://yourAddress/L turns it off

Are you using Arduino IDE 2.x? I ask because Arduino IDE 2.x communicates with some of its components via an internal TCP/IP port in your computer on "localhost". This includes the communication between the component that handles the communication between the board's serial port and the Serial Monitor GUI in the Arduino IDE application.
So it is possible you are seeing that internal communication in WireShark instead of a communication via the board's Ethernet interface. You can tell by checking the IP address in the WireShark logs.
I think my power supply was not giving enough voltage , resulting in all these strange things.
Switched to a different power supply now it works correct.
