does anyone know how to change the default SSID of the AP? In which c/h file is the string that defines "ESP-xxxxxx" located?

- Mon Jun 08, 2015 7:07 am #19819 You can change the default SSID using wifi.ap.config command. It's described here:
https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... fiapconfig

Example:

Code: Select allcfg={}
cfg.ssid="myssid"
cfg.pwd="mypassword"
wifi.ap.config(cfg)

After you enter these commands you don't have to do it again after reboot. It will be automatically configured with the new settings.

Currently it's "ESP-(macaddress)". I want "SOMETHINGELSE-(macadress)".
