I am having a problem connecting to a WPA2 access point, 802.11n. If the access point channel is 2 the ESP8266 won't connect but if I change the AP_CHANNEL to 6 it connects just fine. (It also connects just fine to other AP's set up on channel 6). Is there some setting in the wifi interface I can change to fix this. Also I have re-built NodeMCU(Lua) so I can change the wifi C code if necessary.

Unfortunately I don't have a choice for the channel, the AP is configured with AP_CHANNEL = 2 in the setups I am trying to use. I cannot change that I was trying to find out if there was some setting in the ESP8266 to allow it to work. I can change the AP setting on my own access point but cannot change the ones in the field.

Thank you for the help.
