Wi-Fi disconnect reasons are not documented #6932

Description

@bdraco

Feedback

Wi-Fi disconnect reasons carried in Disconnected ssid='...' reason='...' log lines (tag wifi, level W, esphome/components/wifi/wifi_component_esp_idf.cpp) have meaningfully different fixes per reason, for example Authentication Failed (credentials), Handshake Failed (4 way handshake timing, weak signal) and Beacon Timeout (signal strength, power save). The wifi page and the FAQ reconnecting section do not cover the individual reasons.

Suggestion: document the common disconnect reasons and their fixes, either on the wifi component page or in the FAQ reconnecting section.

Additional information

The ESPHome Device Builder logs UI links this family of lines to the FAQ reconnecting section as the best available target (esphome/device-builder-frontend#1118); reason specific anchors would let it link each reason to its fix.
