Am I the only person who is having problems connecting to the router with Version 3?

On V2 I rarely have problems, I set the name and password in the "Station Mode" boxes and save it, then when I reboot the ESP it connects 95% of the time to the router, if it doesn't I reboot it again and it connects

With Version 3 it will NOT connect about 95% of the time and only connects on power up about 5% of the time.

Have you tried hitting format on the setting page? I have not had any trouble with this on v3

I hadn't, I'd gone back to V2 but I just flashed V3 again and tried formatting it both with the format in the flasher, and the format on the settings page.
neither worked.

Also using the "connect" command within a program does not work either

I have the excact same problem. I have never had any problems with version 2 but with version 3 the ESP
will only very rarely connect to the router. When it finally connect it will only stay connected for very short time.

The router I use is a Linksys E4200
