Unable to get a connection to either of two WIFI networks

[pnunn]

I tried to connect the pico w to two different wifi networks (using quite powerful AP's) but in both cases (one an open network, the other encrypted) could not get the device to connect.

This is the case with two different pico w devices.

I tried to connect to my phone hotspot and that did work.

How would I fault find this issues? ` The failures looked like time=1970-01-01T00:00:13.664Z level=INFO msg=rxEvent event=SET_SSID status=1 reason=0 flags=0 dev.linkstate=3

This was the case with both my code and any of the example code.

I've tried adding a static IP to the DHCP example, but the same behaviour is seen. With debug = true, the log stack is.

I seems the SSID isn't found????

I'd suggest going into the router configuration and checking the security configuration- also make sure you match the case of the SSID perfectly! Right now cyw43439 driver chooses WPA2 security here https://github.com/soypat/cyw43439/blob/a62ee4027d66bc0f92d4f7bc3902627fb8e6ed6b/wifi.go#L321. If you are using a different security configuration I'd suggest either changing your router security to WPA2 or cloning this repo and setting the security to your router's current configuration.

This is what a a succesful connection looks like:

Thanks so much for getting back to me on this Patricio. I think that the system I'm trying to connect to is configured as you require. (Shot attached).

The SSID is correct and the password seems to be passed correctly as well (from some debug code).

I can't connect to an open network here either, but the mobile phone hot spot works perfectly.

Is there any more debugging I can turn on?

[soypat]

Yes, in examples you can set log level to the lowest level (trace) by setting Level here: https://github.com/soypat/cyw43439/blob/a62ee4027d66bc0f92d4f7bc3902627fb8e6ed6b/examples/dhcp/main.go#L19

Set the Level field of slog.HandlerOptions to -99 to enable all logging.

[pnunn]

OK, starting to get some more information now. I did a dump of an attempt to connect to my home wifi and to my phone hotspot (attache, home wifi net.log, phone hotspot.log).

The files are the same up to line 569 in the net.log which matches to 591 in the hotspot log.

Here the hotspot connects, the home network throws

The password for the home network ends in a % character, could that be causing issues?

P. hotspot.log net.log

[pnunn]

OK, I set a second SSID and gave it a password without any punctuation and it connected.

Nope.. more testing and it seems to be the AES encryption that's causing the issue. Turn it from Auto to AES only, and it fails to auth every time.

P.

[soypat]

So the % punctuation makes AES fail every time?

[pnunn]

No, sorry to confuse things. I don't think the % has anything to do with it, its the AES that seems to be the problem.

If I set the encryption to auto it connects happily.
