Just updated to the latest version now by connecting to other wifi, problem still there.

It's a Unicode encoding issue: \xe2\x80\x99 is UTF-8 for

U+2019 ’ \xe2\x80\x99 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

So there's a missing encoding when retrieving the names... Sorry about that! Let me setup my spare access point for testing 🤓

Thank you for testing it out.

So can I expect it will be fix at the next update? I still waiting to connect to the wifi so I can control my Apple TV and hue setup.

We are working with high priority on this showstopper. It's much more complex than a simple encoding, which turned out not to be the issue. The wifi driver is already messing with the SSID name, if it doesn't contain plain text (anything else than ASCII 7-bit), and performs it's own character escaping.

The first fix will work with proper UTF-8 SSID names, as your network name. However, there's much more to it, thanks to the "very special" SSID specification. Not many access points support such network names, but since we're at it, we try to get this covered as well.

Really don’t know it need quite some works to fix it. Keep the great work👍🏻wait for the update.

Closing: fixed in release 1.4.5 SSID with proper UTF-8 names are now working.
