Reconfigure Wifi

Hello,

The situation:

i am using a sparkfun blynk board esp8266. My Wifi router died and got replaced by a new one and now i need to reconfigure the board to connect to the new router.

The problem:

  1. the board shows the wifi connection, but no device can connect (tried android/ios/mac)

  2. when connecting via USB/Terminal i can see that it is busy trying to connect to the old wifi:

The question:

I cannot seem to send any signal to the board via the Terminal (all i get is the output as shown above over and over again)

What can i do to reset/reconfigure this board?

Thank you!

  • - Here is a link to the section of the hookup guide involving [[reconfiguring the blynk board](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-the-sparkfun-blynk-board/reconfiguring-a-blynk-board).
  • - Here is a link to the section of the hookup guide involving [[alternate provisioning methods](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-the-sparkfun-blynk-board/troubleshooting). Look for the section titled **Alternate Provisioning** and select the "Option 2" button for information on how to use the serial terminal. Keep in mind, that the board has to already be "reconfigured" to use this method.
