Hidden/empty AP SSID

Postby meneldor » Thu Jan 25, 2018 8:10 am

Hello,

i searched but didnt find any answer to my problem. My router doenst broadcast the SSID(its hidden). I have a web configuration page on my esp32 where i scan for available AP's. The scan shows many AP's with hidden ssid's so i dont know which one to connect to.
What to set to wifi_config_t as SSID when its empy? How it knows which of them to connect if they are all hidden?

Thanks!

You should be able to use bssid (mac address) instead of ssid. See: https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... p_record_t

I tried with sta.bssid and sta.bssid_set = 1 but it aborts on esp_wifi_connect.

You should prompt the user to enter the ssid before scan and use the ssid in the scan config.
