What is the Simplest Way to Update the Firmware of this 5v ESP8266 Module?

There are news regarding this:

card5:
after finally succeeding yesterday with Flashing the ESP8266 module,
and ironically the result is this:

  • With the old firmware, the module connected to my WLAN 100% of the times (tested aprox. 10 times)
  • With the new firmware, the module simply does not connect to my WLAN - 100% of the times (tested 8 times)

The problem, was indeed what I thought:

card5:
My router is a really old router,
I also have a mini-PC that cannot wirelessly connect to that router, 100% of the times.

So suspecting the old router is more the problem

My really old 3COM router was problematic with some devices..
while 80% of my Wi-Fi devices could connect to it,
the other 20% simply couldn't, consistently..

So I went and bought a new Modem-Router,
and now the 2 devices that could not connect to Wi-Fi before
(the ESP8266 module and a Mini-PC that I mentioned earlier)
now connect successfully 100% of the times.

Buying a new router is definitely worth it..

So I can leave the AT v1.6.2 on the ESP8266, and not have to play now with older versions..

I can finally enjoy the module :slight_smile:

Juraj thank you for everything
