WLAN access rejected - incorrect security
Posted: Thu May 28, 2020 10:47 pmMy ESP8266 is working fine, but an odd WiFi problem.
Normally, in the router logs I see:
[WLAN access allowed] from MAC: 18:3e:32:21:f2:81
Every about 5 or 10 minutes, my router reports:
[WLAN access rejected - incorrect security] from MAC: 18:3e:32:21:f2:81
I'm just using it in Station mode, it only gives out a HTML page to my LAN.
A few times it went offline (weak WiFi signal) and I have to reboot my DSL modem- which doesn't play a role in the LAN. With it off, I can still see the ESP8266 using a browser and the WiFi router. The router does DHCP.
It's as if the ESP8266 is trying to do "something" over the Internet (WAN)
despite my code doing nothing over the WAN, and having the security passphrase, SSID correct.
Any ideas?
