Added a fix to git, a workaround is to make sure you set mode sta in setup early as possible on esp32

Sorry @Maurizio1 that was not to you!, I deleted some other posts, someone else.

Thanks for creating issues and improving wifimanager!

That comeback issue is another known issue with some routers… Although its a bit different, can you open a new issue for that one, and I will link it to the workarounds and other issue

esp8266 works fine, this is unrelated to this issue, and your wasting my time, thanks.

@Maurizio1 did you get a chance to test latest git?

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to waste your time. Of course I did test your patch and it worked. That’s why I wrote “Thank you @tablatronix” before my last post and put a “thumb up” emoji on your answer. Sorry if I was not clear enough.

As for the “debugging” that you mentioned I just added the “delay(100)” instruction, that’s all. My intent was to help to pinpoint the cause. Also, on my device (ESP32), I get more than 25 failed attempts before Wi-Fi starts.

Again, I’m not trying to devour your time, I’m just giving some more info in the hope it can help, so please forgive me. Anyway, your patch worked for me, so I am OK with that. Thank you again.
