RFC: Select WiFi mode in configuration #33

Hi guys. First of all many thanks for the great job.

There are connection issues with ESP8266 and some hi-performance routers, which I personnally experienced with Netgear R8000 and Asus RT-AX92U. The ESP8266 would hardly connect to the router (or not connect at all). This can be solved easily by changing the WiFi mode of the ESP8266. With my router I need to use mode G for a flawless usage.

So please here is my request: Would you please add a new config item « WiFi mode » with values B,G and N and use it in the setup routine, depending on the config: WiFi.setPhyMode(WIFI_PHY_MODE_11B); or WiFi.setPhyMode(WIFI_PHY_MODE_11G); or WiFi.setPhyMode(WIFI_PHY_MODE_11N);

With that I would be able to use ebusd-esp with my router.

Many thanks Mike

Same issue here, my router (Netgear Nighthawk) doesn't seem to be liked by the ebus adapter v3 + WEmos D1 mini, the config is not saved as expected and the Wemos presents itself every time (after needing a reset) back with the default EBUS SSID. Now, I also have a space in my home SSID. I'll have to search for a cheapo crappy old 2.4GHz router to see if I can at least progress somehow and if the space in my SSID is maybe an issue. Thanks

my issue was unrelated, It turned out the only way to get in a working state again was doing a (re)flash of the binary. Issue solved, wifi config is being saved.
