Not connecting to a mobile hotspot

[itsosmx]

Hello, I'm opennig a mobile hotspot to connect the esp8266 to it, but its not working i dont know why? the problem also its print that iam connecting when iam not

15:46:13.464 -> [Arduino] Attempting to connect to WPA SSID:  IOTM 
15:46:19.305 -> [Arduino] SSID:  IOTM 
15:46:19.305 -> [Arduino] IP Address: 192.168.1.111

the connection to the home network working well and everything working prefect the problem with the hotspot

#ifndef HAVE_HWSERIAL1
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial Serial1(6, 7);  // RX, TX
#endif
char ssid[] = "IOTM";       // name
char pass[] = "60606060";  // password
byte status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 111);

bool InitESP() {
  WiFi.init(Serial1);  // initialize ESP module
  WiFi.config(ip);
  // check for the presence of the shield
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_MODULE) {
    Print("Communication with WiFi module failed!");
    return false;
  } else {
    // attempt to connect to WiFi network
    while (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
      Print("Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: ", ssid);
      // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network
      status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
      delay(1000);
    }
    Print("SSID: ", WiFi.SSID());
    Serial.print("[Arduino] IP Address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
    return true;
  }
}

ESP firmware

ESP chips don't support 5 GHz WiFi

@JAndrassy I changed the band to 2.4GHz and also not working.

a server? I think a hotspot only allows to connect to Internet over the 'data' connection. It will not allow the connected devices to communicate to each other and the phone itself can't access the devices too. It is not a router.

[itsosmx]

oh no do you know any workaround or something to make it work with hotspot , i need to make it cuz it will work in a place where there is no wifi

[JAndrassy]

to access the Arduino from phone you can start local Access Point on the Arduino

[itsosmx]

Its working now, after removeing the config ip

WiFi.config(ip)
