Hi
I got a WEMOS D1 Mini Pro with external antenna, and I can’t make it connect to my wifi with esphome.
I have two routers with different SSIDs, both of them are set up to have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5GHz networks.
First one is Linksys Velop, and D1 doesn’t see it at all, not showing up in the network scan. Security is set to “WPA2 Personal”, Wi-Fi mode is “Mixed” whatever it means, there are no other options. Channel 3.
Second one is Cox Technicolor CGM4141.
Channel 11, bandwidth 20, 802.11 g/n, WPA2-PSK.
D1 sees 2.4GHz network, but fails to connect.
Initially it was failing with “Handshake Failed”. Then I moved the resistor and attached the external antenna, now if fails with “Auth Expired”.
Password and SSID in the secrets are correct.
Any ideas?
