Unable to connect device to main Wifi AP

It’ll be in the unofficial nightly builds.

Be mindful of what’s in there. Those are very poorly tested.

Thanks @mc-hamster, I was able to load 01 24 2021 build of ‘v2-1-1.6’, everything works great as far as I can tell. I played with turning on/off wifi_ap_mode’, works as advertised.

Board starts with WiFi turned off as expected.

I know it is written elsewhere but maybe it will help someone else when first starting out with this:

To set board as WiFi client;

meshtastic --set wifi_ap_mode false --setstr wifi_ssid "yourSSID" --setstr wifi_password "yourpassword"

To set board as WiFi Access Point;

meshtastic --set wifi_ap_mode true --setstr wifi_ssid "desiredSSIDname" --setstr wifi_password "desiredpassword"

To turn off WiFi;

meshtastic --set wifi_ap_mode false --setstr wifi_ssid "" --setstr wifi_password ""

Thanks for reporting back that it works! I had to make a guess since I didn’t have that board.
