Xbee SB6 wifi never connects to my server automatically, it only connects when I send some data then closes the connection. Can anyone confirm that is this the nature of Xbee and is there anyway to solve this issue (probably there is a setting for it in XCTU)

No, that is expected. It is not going to create a socket to the destination IP address unless there is something for it to send. Then the connection will only remain for as long as the Connection timeout value states.

HI,

it won’t connect automatically. keep the timeout value max in the settings,in think the max time out value is more than an hour.
