ESP32-C3 mini can’t connect to wifi network

I’ve looked through a few issues others have had with wifi connectivity. Unlike others though, I can connect mine perfectly well to my homes wifi network, what I’m attempting to do though is generate a wifi network from my ESP32 which my laptop can connect to. I’ve got as far as finding the wifi network but apart from 1 attempt out of about 50, I wasn’t able to connect to the network or maintain a connection.

Is this a common issue with these mini boards?

It seems the same problem over and over again - bad antenna / poor quality. Reducing the TX Power should help - See this thread

Brilliant!

Worked instantly. Thank you very much for resolving this :+1:
