I am trying to connect the MKR Wifi 1010 to my router and it won't. I am using the basic example provided with the WiFiNINA library for WPA networks (the one by Tom Igoe).
The board does connect to an open/non-secure network without any problem (using the appropriate script for open networks, also from by Tom Igoe). But when I try to connect to a WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) protected network it does not.
-I have tried disabling the 5GHz channel in case that was causing interference.
-I have also tried different password strings in case that could be also a problem.
Latest firmware installed, correct libraries, etc, etc.
Hi. Thanks for your response. I have been using the first link as guidance already. The second also has interesting information but unfortunately doesn’t solve the problem. The board connects when I set the router as open network and I pass only the SSID to the WiFi.begin(SSID) function. It’s when i shift to a WPA (or WPA2) protected network that doesn’t want to connect. I have to assume the problem has to do with how the password is stored on the board and passed while attempting to connect, but I can’t figure out why. Any suggestion?
Our boards do connect to a password protected wifi network, so it is a bit strange yours isn't connecting. You can try a different secure network to see if your wifi is the issue.
Mark sure your firmware is up to date. I had one that was having the same issue and updated the firmware to match the library version and it started working. If I recall there is a example program in the library to check the firmware version
I know this might sound ridiculous but at this point I'm asking every possible question. Beside the NINA Firmware (1.4.8) is there any other firmware that should be updated on the board?
