Problem with MKR WiFi 1010 functionality

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR WiFi 1010

Hi there,

I started some project in 2020 with a MKR WiFi 1010 and it worked quite well. I left that project sleeping until now, with a new computer, new Windows 10 and Arduino IDE 2. My first attempt was to compile the old code, but it didn't work: WiFi101OTA complained "board not supported". Okay, so I tried the ArduinoOTA, but in spite of compiling the WiFi connection did not work.

So I tested some of the examples, but no matter if I use WiFi101 or WiFiNINA, even the CheckFirmware sketch without modification returns WiFi.status() = WL_NO_MODULE.

I tried to use the Firmware Updater, but after several times of automatic USB connecting and disconnecting (Windows sounds), it fails.

What could I do to make it work?

And is it normal that I have to set the board type to MKR Wifi 1010 in the Arduino IDE manually because after connection it is recognized as MKR 1000?

Tested with two different boards, one of them that 2020 worked.

Thanks in advance!

WiFiNINA library is for "MKR 1010 WiFi".
WiFi101 library is for "MKR 1000".
what has OTA to do with the problem?
test with an example from the WiFiNINA library.
are you sure that it is a "MKR 1010 WiFi"?

Yeah, I wrote that I already found that out. And that I'm wondering about it because three years ago WiFi101 worked with MKR 1010 Wifi.

It was the first error that occured during compilation and lead me to further attempts to find a solution.

You haven't read that in my posting that I already did that?

Seriously?

BN: Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

Edit: After several further trials, once my old sketch worked and the MKR connected properly to my WiFi using Wifi101 library. But only once...

there is no chance the MKR 1010 works with the WiFi101 library.
the info is from sketch. if you uploaded as MKR 1010, it will show 1010.
