I have followed a guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point-routed.md To create an access point for my system. I have sucesfully created an access point and I can see it on the network list on my mobile phone.
However, I notice that this network have various issues. For example, when connecting to this network on my phone, sometimes I am getting "wrong password" error. However, trying multiple times with the same password will eventually connect.
I mainly use this access point to connect to my remote ESP32 devices and sometimes my devices would not connect to this wifi!. It would literally take 10's of times restarting my device untill it finally connected succesfully to this network.
Did anyone else had any or simmilar probles with this access point on raspberry device?
On my esp32 devices , i just use simple function:
const char* ssid = "NameOfNetwork";
const char* password = "password123";
void setup_wifi() {
delay(10);
// We start by connecting to a WiFi network
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);
//WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
And sometimes it never conencts:
