Wifi Disconnecting

Like the smaller Futaba servos I'm running (I tried...

After telling the servo to go to a position the servo moves to the position and stops but keeps making a high pitched hum as if the servo is still trying to move. This occurs no matter what position it moves to. My other servos for example...
