Closed beroliv closed 8 months ago

beroliv commented 8 months ago

I had all the time Problems connect the Modul with my Wifi.

I fix this issue with a External Antenna. I just solder a 62mm wire on the Modul.

as i see in google it seems a very common Problem with the ES8266 to connect to asus routers. Interesting is, Prusa Printer use the exact the same module for there Printers. They work with out any issue.

The issue also depended on which access point the ESP connected to. Upstairs, it worked well with the antenna, but in the living room, where the display is located, it didn’t work at all. The solution was:I've identified the issue that was preventing the ESP32 from connecting to my ASUS ZenWiFi XT9. Neither a static IP nor an external antenna solved the problem. I had to disable "Auto Channel" in the settings and set it to a fixed channel (6) instead.
