ESP32 Forum

hello,

i have an esp32-s3 which is unable to connect to my wifi router. when trying to do so, the message

I (3416) network_driver: WIFI_EVENT_STA_DISCONNECTED received.
I (3446) wifi<12,2>, old:<12,0>, ap:<255,255>, sta:<12,2>, prof:1, snd_ch_cfg:0x0
I (3446) wifi:state: init -> auth (0xb0)
I (3456) wifi:state: auth -> init (0x100)

is repeatedly (in an endless loop) displayed.

i have 2 other esp32-s3 devices which can connect without any issues to my wifi router. the only difference in the network configuration of the 3 deices is the name.

what can i do to enable the esp to connect to my wifi router.

thanks in advance for any hints.

I have suffered this with a few devices due to a broken antenna.

To test this, get as close as possible to the router and touch the metal of the ESP with your fingers so your body acts as a bad but at least somehow functional antenna. If it connects, your device antenna is broken.
