ESP8266 Community Forum

- Fri May 24, 2019 8:43 am #82459 I am looking at setting up a few of these to control some lights. As I have been looking at a few different pieces of code. I see they seem to use ssid and password so they can connect to a router. My question is this. From time to time I change the shops router password. Do I have have to take each unit down and reprogram it? Do I setup another router for just controlling the ESP-01's? Am I missing something?

Thank you,

Jeff

You could use WiFiManager, google search esp8266 wifi manager, that might work, you can conect to the units wifi when they don't conect to the router and change the password... But I like the second router ideal.
