I’m trying the Web Server module in the ESP32 course. The ESP32 fails to connect to the Access Point. It becomes stuck in the while loop:
Serial.print(“Connecting to “);
Serial.println(ssid);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(“.”);
}
The WiFi scan example sketch works fine and shows the WiFi SSID with good signal strength. I have double checked the password. I’m not sure how to proceed.

I solved it myself.
If anyone else is interested to know, the SSID I was using was the default name on my mobile phone of “V30+_5309”. I changed this to just have letters and it worked fine.
The issue seems to be the special characters in the SSID.
