ESP8266 Community Forum

- Tue Oct 06, 2020 3:40 pm #89035 Hello,
I'm new here and have a problem with the ESP8266ex.
I had my own circuit board made. On top of it an ESP8266ex with antenna and everything that is needed.
I can also connect the ESP8266ex to my wifi as a client. The connection is stable, so the antenna should work properly. The only problem is, when I want to use the ESP8266ex as an access point, my laptop fails to establish a connection.

I have already tested the problem code on an ESP-12f. Unfortunately, I can't find any help in German forums.

Is there some kind of flag that has to be set so that the ESp8266ex enables the AccessPoint?


Many thanks for your help.


If I posted in the wrong area, please move the post.

remark: w/o knowing what envorinment/SDK you are using or seeing your code nobody will be able to give a more sophisticated answer ...

I'm using Arduino for the esp8266ex.

Is the Yes related to the flag? How to set it?
