Hi, everyone. I seem to have a continuing issue trying to get my Torch into wifi connect mode. I’ll touch the power button twice, it beeps, and I get the slow brightening/dimming blink that it’s in wifi connect mode. However, it almost never broadcasts it’s SSID, and I’ve even tried directly connecting by manually entering the SSID on different devices, but it doesn’t work (I really don’t think the wifi is functioning).
If I connect via serial and reset the unit, when I fire it back up then it broadcasts its SSID perfectly every time and I can connect via wifi and the web app. However, after a time or two it completely stops working. I’ve tried putting it into wifi connect mode 20-30 times in a row and it just doesn’t do it.
So - in summary - the wifi on the unit does work, but only for a time or two after I do a reset on the unit. After that, it just doesn’t seem to work no matter how many times I put it into connect mode, power cycle the unit, etc. Only resetting the unit makes it functional again. Also, the only settings I change are the SSID and passwords for the devices I’ll have it connect to. As for firmware, I recently updated to v2.3. However, it was doing this same thing on v2.1 and is continuing to do it on v2.3.
Has anyone had this issue before? Is there anything I can do to help resolve it? I did get everything set up to connect via serial using putty, and it works just fine, but it’s not as easy (or as clear) as the web app. Thanks!
