Serial Monitor breaks the webserver

Hi lately i have been having issues when i start serial monitor on my arduino ide my webserver stops working so when i visit the webserver it just keeps loading. Then i have to close the serial montior and reset the arduino and then it works.

Is it supposed to be this way? I remember that it used not to be like this, i also noticed this behaviour on the arduino opta aswell.

how am i able to debug and read the console when i cant even visit the website :smiley:

Maybe it's a bug in your code.

Im going to try the example and see if its the same. brb

wifi example works with the serial montior active but not my code, it breaks after it connects to the wifi.

Interesting. I’ve noticed the same behavior yesterday. Tested several different boards and sketchbooks but it randomly make the browser to stop working. Annoying. Seems to work better when I use a direct cable to my router.

It's probably a bug in your code. If you want help with it then show it to someone. If you just want someone to commiserate then "Oh man, that sucks."

is this the culprit?

 Serial.begin(9600);
