Here the problem is in ESP8266. Maybe you're using the wrong Arduino libraries. There are many examples in the network.

Like I mentioned before, I can connect to this AP but only when I do it manually form my mobile, only have a problem when I'm using my app. What I have noticed is connection process with my AP(esp8266) need more time then to connection my home router. How can I use Wait For condition just to wait about 5 sec to check if connection with AP is established?

HI

B4X:

Sub Globals

     Private timer1 As Timer
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    timer1.Initialize("Timer1", 5000)
    timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Sub Timer1_Tick
    'here you can add a checking condition
End Sub

Click to expand...

Is that stopping/pausing main thread as well or it is running in background?

Code pauses for 5 seconds then resumes. I've used it in the past o give a remote connection/machine time to do it's thing, the delay time does not really matter.
