Hi, All
My question is absolutely the same like this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/access-point-not-working-with-b4r.121009/
But trying on ESP32C3.
This Arduino sketch is fully OK, with connected USB-port of the board, or just powered up:
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
		
			
			
			
			
			
		
	
	
	
		
	
	
		
	
But my B4R variant
1) is OK only when board is connected to USB
2) but if just powered, without USB plugged - AP is visible but cannot be connected
 
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
		
			
			
			
			
			
		
	
	
	
		
	
	
		
	
Why ?
I have compared the lib - the same call of WiFi.softAP.
I have even made a lib clone for ESP32 only, to edit (attached). deleted there WiFi.disconnect() - all is the same, but ....does not work...
Where to dig ?
