Wifi - SimpleWifiServer hangs upon trying to connect to wifi network

[boylesg]

I traced the problem to the fololwing line of code in WifiGeneric.cpp

Code: Select all

static bool _esp_wifi_started = false;

static bool espWiFiStart(){
    if(_esp_wifi_started){
        return true;
    }
    if(!wifiLowLevelInit()){
        return false;
    }
   [b] esp_err_t err = esp_wifi_start();[/b]

    if (err != ESP_OK) {
        log_e("esp_wifi_start %d", err);
        wifiLowLevelDeinit();
        return false;
    }
    _esp_wifi_started = true;
    return true;
}

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I just ran SimpleWiFiServer here, works as expected.

Did you set your ssid and password correctly?

[boylesg]

Yes SSID and password are correct. The only other possibility then is that the ESP32 is stuffed?

I'd try running WiFiScan to verify that radio reception works, then try connecting to an open AP.
But, of course, your device may be defective.
