I am having issues connecting the feather huzzah esp8266 to Wi-Fi.
I have completed the same things as the following forum, but my serial monitor is just putting "......."

Is your wifi network open or secure? If it's secure, make sure to double/triple check the SSID and password settings.
Do you know if your network is 5GHz only?

I have 5G, 2.4 G, and a mesh system. I was able to run a sketch for looking up Wi-Fi, and multiple SSIDs appeared with the same names. Could this be a problem?

That does seem like possibly odd behavior and could be related. Is this your first time trying to connect an ESP8266 to this network?

Can you try connecting to some other network?
Do you see the multiple SSIDs if you scan with something else as well? Like with your phone?

I do not own another network. When I pull up WiFi connections on my phone/computer I only see the 2.4 G and 5G. When I use an IP scanner or the Fing app I can see the mesh system as well.
I have raspberry pies, and they have not had this issue… But I understand they work a little differently.
Would screenshots of serial output based on sketches help?

Yes please. Be careful not to include anything secret about your network though.Would screenshots of serial output based on sketches help?
And just to be sure, you are running this example sketch?

Re: WiFi Connection Issue - Huzzah ESP8266 - Arduino IDE
This is the sketch I used to test And find Wi-Fi
Here's a picture of the serial output based on this code.
And then use the code at the link provided and the SS ID from the picture above. I also double checked it with the settings in my computer, I've also checked and rechecked the password. (I know the password is correct as I use it on other smart devices in my home) then this is the serialOutput I receive.
Code: Select all
#include "ESP8266WiFi.h"
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
WiFi.disconnect();
delay(100);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print("Scan start ... ");
int n = WiFi.scanNetworks();
Serial.print(n);
Serial.println(" network(s) found");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID(i));
}
Serial.println();
delay(5000);
}
And then use the code at the link provided and the SS ID from the picture above. I also double checked it with the settings in my computer, I've also checked and rechecked the password. (I know the password is correct as I use it on other smart devices in my home) then this is the serialOutput I receive.

Can you try a network scan with your phone (or something else) and see if it also reports back those multiple same name networks (Peachykeenewifi).

On my phone and laptop I only see 2 peachykeene WiFi. (One is 2.4G and one is 5G)
