Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SpacehuhnTech/esp8266_deauther/issues/1429

Have you searched for existing (open and closed) issues describing the same problem?

Yes

I had the deauther working for about 5 mins and I was snooping around in the settings and I changed the SSID name and Password and I didn't know where the save button was so I unplugged it and plugged it back in thinking that would save it however when I replugged it in the LED flashed like normally but the network didn't show up. I've tried re-flashing about 15 times and tried reseting etc.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Settinga'
  2. Click on 'SSID and Change it'
  3. Unplug ESP8266 and Replug
  4. See no network

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

  • Browser Safari / Chrome

Whenever I plug it in after about 10 seconds on my windows PC it comes up with a ''Hidden Network'' and asks me to Enter the SSID which I can't remember, but I remember the password, is there anything I can do?

I'm having the same issue as well. I have the v5 oled and after logging into the browser and changing the SSID and Password I'm now not seeing the network pop up on several mobiles. Then when I searched on my laptop I saw hidden network and put in the correct info but wasn't able to connect onve again via browser

I know I should just create my own issue but do by chance know if there's a way to unhide the network so I can see what the ssid name is so I can access it through browser
