Hi there,

I'm trying to use:

Code: Select allWiFi.encryptionType();

but, I got error message says:

Code: Select allno matching function for call to 'ESP8266WiFiClass::encryptionType()'

I have included

Code: Select all#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

, using core version 2.3.0

Can someone tell me why is it not working?

Thank you!

Regards

The function WiFi.encryptionType(uint8_t networkItem); need the networkItem argument ...

Check the example how it is used :

esp8266/2.3.0/libraries/ESP8266WiFi/examples/WiFiScan/WiFiScan.ino

Hi martinayotte,

Yes, I saw that, but I wish to get encryption type from already connected device to be able to display it.

I don't think you can, we can only see encryptionType in ESP8266WiFiScanClass.
