SOFTAP - Some devices can not connect JOIN-LEAVE

[Klaus W.]

Hello,

i'm using ESP8266 with SOFTAP-Mode.

Connecting and using web-server with my android mobile phones works without problems. Also kolleagues do not reported any problem.

I want to connect with my notebook too and it's not possibel, or in other word: for very short times: It joins and leaves permanently the AP.

Please help me or give any advice.

I'm using SDK 1.3 and following LOG i recorded:
========================================================
add 1
aid 1
station: 5c:c5:d4:de:4c:ac join, AID = 1
station: 5c:c5:d4:de:4c:ac leave, AID = 1
rm 1
. 60
. 61
add 1
aid 1
station: 5c:c5:d4:de:4c:ac join, AID = 1
station: 5c:c5:d4:de:4c:ac leave, AID = 1
rm 1
========================================================


I tried SDK 1.1 and SDK 1.2 too without any success.



Here the used initialization sequence:
====================================================

IP4_ADDR(&dhcp_lease.start_ip, 10, 10, 10, 20);

wifi_softap_set_dhcps_lease(&dhcp_lease);

Hi,

1. Could it connect if just using a simple softAP test code http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=227 ?

2. Can you capture the WiFi packets and provide it for debugging ?
