Hello everyone, I’m quite desperate here and need some advice since I have troubles connecting a simple DHT22 sensor + D1 mini to my AP downstairs.
If i connect it to the main router there is no issue. When I try to connect it to my secondary router, the D1 mini doesn’t find the network.
I read almost all the topics and tried several combinations but I still don’t succeed.
The secondary router is a TP Link WR940N with dhcp disabled and set to IP 192.168.1.2 while the main sercom Router is 192.168.1.1
I can access to the secondary router with a PC connected to the main WIFI Network. I can access to the secondary router with my smartphone.
This is my last edited yaml configuration file uploades on the D1 mini.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you

The d1 mini is now 1 meter far away from the router. I also tried with bssid of the Dungeon network but the d1 mini simply doesn’ see it.
I tried with another d1 mini: same result. Connection possible to main router but no chances with the secondary router
The tplink router is 2,4 ghz only. I could connect 2 tekin plugs and 1 Wi-Fi strip led through smart life tuya integration to the Dungeon network and then to Home Assistant without problems.
