Connection to Wifi AP fails #106

Open hummerdash opened 8 months ago

hummerdash commented 8 months ago

Hi,

I flashed the firmware to a D1 Mini (ESP8266 EX). All fine.

The AP appears on my iPhone, Mac and iPad.

When I want to connect, it fails. everytime...

When I tried it with my laptop from work (Windows) it worked.

Why?

@thorrak I had this issue when I cobbled up the old WiFiManager. There were some notes about needing to assign a channel and country to facilitate used by Apple OS's.

@hummerdash What country are you in, out of curiousity?

@lbussy That makes sense. Unfortunately:

It's possible that everything is fixed in the latest Arduino Core 2.0, but I recall there being other issues with more recent cores as of the last time I tested things.

@lbussy I am from Germany. I tried to change the channel to 3. no change. I did not try the "setCountry()" function... Once I get new gear for my brewing setup, I will try. For now I am happy that everything works :-)

Thanks to all of you!

@hummerdash If you want to try, I included the fix @lbussy is suggesting in the v16-alpha0 release.

Other users seem to be having success here, so I'm going to tag this as pending pull. If someone has an issue in the future, I can reopen/investigate further.
