Sorry I'm not completely sure if this is the right place to ask.
Apologize in advance.

I bought a brand new esp32 board, and the code is simple
WiFi_Connection.autoConnect(/*some SSID*/);
Everything works fine after I entering password.
But every time the board resets, it just won't connect.
Config page shows the board remembers SSID and password, but just not connected.

Tricky part is, this issue never happened on my other old rusty board.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hey.

I just notice from Documentation

You can and should password protect the configuration access point.

So I tried the change
WiFi_Connection.autoConnect(/*some SSID, some password*/);
and suddenly everything works again.

Not quite knowing why, but I'm just happy with that.

Thanks!

Most modern device now block wep and wpa connections as they are unsecure. I have not seen this before though
