Hi all,
I'm new to programming on ESP32 and networking so please forgive the simple mistakes. I am trying to connect my board to my home wifi without success. I searched a number of other posts but can't seem to figure this one out.
I am able to get it to connect to my iphone hotspot and get an IP address, so that's a plus.
I can see my home network when i do a network scan.
When i attempt to connect, the return code is 6 for the first attempt or 2.. then after that it's 4.
The only thing i can think of is it doesn't like my wifi name.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.
The debug messages I get out are here:
