ESP32 Forum

I’m using Esp8266 board with arduino IDE. I installed esp board on arduino IDE and tested both 3.0.2 and 3.0.0 versions with arduino 1.8.13

I used the WiFiAccessPoint example and on serial it send Ready although the network can’t be found using the phone and the laptop. Both of them couldn’t find the network when searching on it.

Also I’m not sure which board I should select so I tried both generic esp8266 board and nodemcu 1.0 (Esp-12E Module)

Is there something to be done ?

I tried the scan example

It finds only one network and can't find my WiFi. I tried to open a mobile hotspot from the laptop and ESP finds it. Although when trying HelloServer example it can't connect to Mobile hotspot. It returns WL_CONNECT_FAILED and when trying to enter my WiFi name (which can't be found in the scan example) it gives WL_DISCONNECTED for a while then gives WL_NO_SSID_AVAIL.

I checked also my WiFi network and confirmed that it's 2.4GHz not 5 GHz. So What is the issue ?

Hi,
