Hi,

 

I have few ESP8266 based Arduino boards (Weemos/LOLIN D1 Mini).
I've experienced these boards will likely not connect to my TP-LINK AX20/AX1800 WiFi-6 capable 
home router. These boards were connecting to a TP-Link  Archer C80 (non WiFi-6 capable) device without any problems.

 

On the AX/AX1800 by default my 2.4 wireless was set to use "802.11/b/g/n/ax".
After changing it to "802.11/b/g/n mixed" the problem seems to be solved.

According to ist specification WeMos D1 Mini is equiped with ESP-12F.

It supports WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK security mechanism - https://docs.ai-thinker.com/_media/esp8266/docs/esp-12f_product_specification_en.pdf

When you use the "802.11/b/g/n/ax" make sure that you use:

 

 

or if that doesn't work try these:

@terziyski Hello and Thank You.

The AX20 router was already using 

- WPA/WPA2-Personal

- WPA2/PSK

- AES

This was setting was not changed.

 

I am using this settings also on the C80 which works really stable.

 

The C80

- WPA/WPA2-Personal

- Auto

- AES

 

I think it is more related to a hidden difference between

- 802.11b/g/n mixed (works well)

and

- 802.11b/g/n mixed (sometimes work - most of the time does not).
 

Thanks,
Andras

I believe you've meant 802.11b/g/n/ax mixed mode works only sometimes.

Try disabling OneMesh feature if you're not using it (switch it OFF) to see if that will improve things.
