Wi-Fi connections

Post by RonS »

Hello everyone.
some time ago - with the introduction of the update to version 1.50.8 I wrote here that there are problems with access to the WLAN network.
CiccioCB then released version 1.51 which also fixed the problems
In the meantime I have noticed that other Systems whitch based on the ESP32, have the same problems.
for example, I necessarily bought a "Hoymiles data transfer unit" on bases of the ESP32 to monitor my new Solar- Microinverters -
(https://github.com/lumapu/ahoy/) - there were the same problems.
That's why I decided to update my wlan router, i.e. I bought a new Telekom "Speedport Smart 4" and found that everything now works.
I can't say exactly what the new parameters of the router are, but it works.
The RSSI values of existing devices improved by about 10dB - incidentally
This hint may also be useful for Cicciocb for further development

So much for now - have a nice weekend
Ron

The fix I did to make it work is simply authorize the use of the "lower security" WPA protocols, typically used in the old routers.

The default mode is defined in the SDK to WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_PSK (WPA2).
I lowered to accept any mode, including the WPA, that probably your old router was using.

Was WPA acceptance introduced in version 1.51? Or even earlier?
Sorry, I haven't looked in the change log yet.

Have a nice weekend!
