Hi, I bought a new board and I can only connect to wifi when I touch with my finger (some other objects might also work) above or on the side of the antenna or under the antenna (under the pcb). this is only help when i try to connect to wifi but with esp-now delivery is failed.
I tried a separate power supply but still the same. What can cause that issue and dose anyone have a fix for this?

Thank you, it worked. I needed also WIFI_STA before and 40/10db.MicroController wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:47 amMay be the same issue: https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41899#p137764
Code: Select all
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
esp_wifi_set_max_tx_power(40);

It is related to antenna design. I made a custom board where it was very hard to implement the recommended antenna keep-out clearance and used a similar ceramic antenna. I had to reduce tx power to get it to connect to networks. This is not an issue if the board is always close to the router.
