MKRVIDOR4000 WiFi example not working

Hello,

I am trying to run the example WiFi LED server, but it is not working for me.

This is the program:

/*

  WiFi Web Server LED Blink

  A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web.

  This sketch will create a new access point (with no password).

  It will then launch a new server and print out the IP address

  to the Serial monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser

  to turn on and off the LED on pin 13.

  If the IP address of your board is yourAddress:

    http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on

    http://yourAddress/L turns it off

Uploading is successful through the arduino cloud IDE but the sketch always says

"Communication with WiFi module failed!"

Has anyone else encountered this issue and solved it?

Just a stupid question - are you sure that your board has a Wifi module?

Yes, The Vidor has Wifi.

I get that same result if I haven't put valid Wifi credentials in the Arduino_secrets.h file
