Description

I'm not sure how but I'm going to need to figure out why the ESP-01 doesn't always connect to the router in my house. It's probably due to my being on the 2nd floor and the router being in the basement. But I wonder how good the ESP-01 wireless really is.

The web interface on the ESP (via WebServer library) seems like it might do better when you do a scan before adding the hidden network and passcode. Using the option to skip the scan seems to be the one that causes problems. At least early tests seem to show this is the case.

Most of this problem went away when I upgraded to Arduino 2.4.1 and, more importantly, makeEspArduino 4.13.0.

The device now connects quite well, though in the new house I'm much closer to the router.

All changes committed. This issue can be closed.
