Description

My home WiFi SSID is Varun's Network. First I used the WifiScan example from the Arduino IDE to see if the board is able to see my network and ensure that it is in range, which it is. Then I use the following code to connect the board to my WiFi. Unfortunately it doesn't work and the board keeps throwing a WiFi.status() of 1 (WL_NO_SSID_AVAIL). I changed my SSID to one without the ' character and it is able to connect without any issues.

#include<WiFi.h>

const char *ssid = "Varun's Network";

const char *password = "varunvarun";

void initWiFi() {
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi ");
  Serial.print(ssid);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print('.');
    Serial.print(WiFi.status());
    delay(1000);
  }
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  initWiFi();
  Serial.print("RRSI: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.RSSI());
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Sketch

#include<WiFi.h>

const char *ssid = "Varun's Network";

const char *password = "varunvarun";

void initWiFi() {
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi ");
  Serial.print(ssid);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print('.');
    Serial.print(WiFi.status());
    delay(1000);
  }
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  initWiFi();
  Serial.print("RRSI: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.RSSI());
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Debug Message

NA

Other Steps to Reproduce

I have checked for similar existing issues within this repo and outside, could not find anything with a solution. I want to be able to connect to networks with special characters because I can't control what people name their SSIDs.

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

Can you try const char *ssid = "Varun\'s Network"; Make very sure that you are using the same character as well (copy/paste from the serial monitor). Sometimes browsers/OS can change those quote marks into "smart" quotes. AFAIK apostrophe is allowed in esp32 SSID names.

assman commented 2 months ago

Are you able to connect to a network with an apostrophe? I tried the escape mechanism you suggested but still not able to connect. To confirm that it is the apostrophe causing the issue and not anything else, I did a bunch of tests. My personal hotspot SSID is called iPhone 7, to which the ESP32 is easily able to connect. I renamed the hotspot to Varun's iPhone 7 and I'm facing the same issue, it just doesn't connect.

Confirmed. This is an arduino-esp32 issue. Works in IDF. Looks like maybe a dhcp failure. Will take some time to debug. Failure:

@me-no-dev - PTAL. It may be some that you may have fixed within the new Networking Arduino layer.

SuGlider commented 2 months ago

@lbernstone - Thanks for confirming the issue. Did you test it with 2.0.14 or 3.0.0-Alpha2? Or something else...

lbernstone commented 2 months ago

I tested with both 2.0.14 and master. Debug logs above are from current master. IDF was tested with current master (~5.3).

SuGlider commented 2 months ago

Thanks for the confirmation @lbernstone!

lbernstone commented 2 months ago

Yep, something in dhcp. WiFiStaticIP example works.

me-no-dev commented 2 months ago

wait... what is the status now? what works and what doesn't?

lbernstone commented 2 months ago

Original issue is as posted. A simple begin with ssid containing apostrophe fails with AUTH_EXPIRE. If a static config is set first, it connects properly.

me-no-dev commented 2 months ago

huh? why would IP config have anything to do with WiFi Auth? I'll give it a shot. The only difference that IP config brings is that WiFi is started a bit earlier.

I'll dig out another AP & a esp32 to test on. Failed on my Android 11 phone.

me-no-dev commented 2 months ago

@lbernstone mine is Mikrotik, maybe has to do with the Android. I tried all chips too

Can you paste the actual output of the WiFiScan example to show the SSID name?

What we'd be looking for is to inspect the actual unicode of the apostrophe, to see if they are different. i.e. copy and paste it into something that can inspect the actual character in the SSID name.

On an iPhone, if you type "Varun's Network" into the Settings app, the iPhone keyboard is going to substitute a different apostrophe, to give it a nicer looking slant. It will not be considered the same SSID name anymore.

Have a look at this: I copied and pasted the name of my iPhone out of the Settings app: "Mike’s iPhone 14", which is different than if I just type "Mike's iPhone 14" with my keyboard into GitHub. Can you see the difference in the shape of the apostrophe? Python can -- print(ord(a[4])) gives the character code of the fifth character (the apostrophe in Mike's). 

Python 3.9.6 (default, Feb  3 2024, 15:58:27) 
[Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> a = "Mike’s iPhone 14"
>>> print(ord(a[4]))
8217
>>> a = "Mike's iPhone 14"
>>> print(ord(a[4]))
39
>>>

See how 8217 is different from 39?

39 is what's in your source file.
