Unable to see SoftAP SSID, but seeing something like ESP_82ABCD

[tharappel]

I'm trying to setup a SoftAP using ESP32_WROOM and I did call

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_AP));
Also set SSID as below:

wifi_config_t ap_config = {
.ap = {
.ssid = CONFIG_AP_SSID, // my_SSID
.password = CONFIG_AP_PASSWORD,
.ssid_len = 0,
.channel = CONFIG_AP_CHANNEL,
.authmode = CONFIG_AP_AUTHMODE,
.ssid_hidden = CONFIG_AP_SSID_HIDDEN,
.max_connection = CONFIG_AP_MAX_CONNECTIONS,
.beacon_interval = CONFIG_AP_BEACON_INTERVAL,
},


But unable to see see 'my_SSID' instead I'm seeing something like ESP_82ABCD

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Did you also pass the ap_config struct you declared to the WiFi stack?
