With the recent changes I don't seem to be able to save network credentials to my IoT device if the network isn't in range? I'm using my Nano IoT to monitor testing that I'm doing in another building and was planning to use it to monitor stuff quite far away at different sites, where preloading the credentials so that I can just send it off to someone to plug in would be useful. Maybe I'm missing something if someone can correct me?
Thanks.
Hello @charliewinkley,
you can set your network credentials in two phases of the device lifecycle:
In both cases, you can input a WiFi configuration manually, even if the WiFi network is not in the list.
After pressing the "Connect" button, if the WiFi network is not in range, you will obtain an error of "wrong credential". You can ignore it and exit from the procedure.
When you press the "Connect" button the board stores the new network configuration and it tries to connect with continuosly, until it succeed.
So, you can set a WiFi configuration even if it's not in the range and the board will connect to the Cloud when the network will became available.
