AP mode not working anymore
Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 8:43 amHi,
I've finally received my ESP8266 module last Friday. Yesterday, I've start playing with it using the stock firmware.
At first, since it was by default in AP mode, I've connected to its network, I got success running CIPSERVER, etc.
Then, I switched to STA mode, playing again with CIPSERVER, etc. Cool !
Finally, I was trying to switch back to AP mode, but although AT+CWMODE? returns 2 and AT+CIFSR returns 192.168.4.1, I can't see the module in a Wifi scan. It is like the RF is muted in AP mode. I can figure out what commands are required to make it works again. I've tried recycle power, doing some AT+RST, etc. No chance ! If I switch it again in STA mode, this mode is working.
Any idea what is going wrong ?
UPDATE : I've figured it out ! While playing with STA, I've accidently send a AT+CWSAP instead of AT_CWJAP with arguments of my main router, this overwrite the defaults AP settings in such way that my main router name appears twice, but in fact the second was the ESP8266 with a bad name ...
