WiFi - Static IP fails to connect wifi

Postby mistergreen » Tue Feb 06, 2018 3:06 pm

Here's a typical Wifi config code.

Code: Select all

IPAddress ip(192,168,1,129);
IPAddress gateway(192,168,1,1);	
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
IPAddress primaryDNS(8, 8, 8, 8); //optional
IPAddress secondaryDNS(8, 8, 4, 4); //optional

if (!WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet, primaryDNS, secondaryDNS)) {
    Serial.println("STA Failed to configure");
  }

  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
WiFi.status() won't connect. It's shows a '6' - disconnect.

If I get rid of WiFi.config(), going with the localIP, Wifi can connect. So I can't do a static IP it looks like.

I've got the same problem :(

It's working here.

I just added the lines above (IPAddress and WiFi.config() ) to a working WiFi HTTP server sketch, and device is properly operating with static IP. To further verify, I used various IP addresses which were definitely never assigned by my DHCP server.

What might be different? Router (Asus RT-N53) DHCP Server (Raspberry Pi Zero W running pihole), Arduino library version, ESP SDK version?

I have the latest Arduino Core. What do you have?
I checked on GitHub and you can hack the WiFi library to make it work but I'll wait for an official commit.

It’s been a while since I installed the esp32 Arduino core, I don’t know how to check the version.

I've the same problem. I downloaded again yesterday from git the libraries and ran in verbose mode. I added a println of the status code after attempting to get the ip address confirmed. I have othe devices (pc,phones, etc) with fix address in my network.
Arduino IDE 1.8.5
this is the code I used:

Code: Select all

/*
     Example of connection using Static IP
     by Evandro Luis Copercini
     Public domain - 2017
*/

#include <WiFi.h>
//#include <debug.h>

const char* ssid     = "Vodafone-roberto";
const char* password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
const char* host     = "corriere.it";
const char* url      = "/index.html";

IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 1, 2);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 0, 0);
IPAddress primaryDNS(8, 8, 8, 8); //optional
IPAddress secondaryDNS(8, 8, 4, 4); //optional

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);

  if (!WiFi.config(local_IP, gateway, subnet, primaryDNS, secondaryDNS)) {
    Serial.println("STA Failed to configure");
  }

  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
    Serial.println (WiFi.status());
    
  }

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected!");
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.print("ESP Mac Address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.macAddress());
  Serial.print("Subnet Mask: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.subnetMask());
  Serial.print("Gateway IP: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.gatewayIP());
  Serial.print("DNS: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.dnsIP());
}

void loop()
{
  delay(5000);

  Serial.print("connecting to ");
  Serial.println(host);

  // Use WiFiClient class to create TCP connections
  WiFiClient client;
  const int httpPort = 80;
  if (!client.connect(host, httpPort)) {
    Serial.println("connection failed");
    return;
  }

  Serial.print("Requesting URL: ");
  Serial.println(url);

  // This will send the request to the server
  client.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
               "Host: " + host + "\r\n" +
               "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
  unsigned long timeout = millis();
  while (client.available() == 0) {
    if (millis() - timeout > 5000) {
      Serial.println(">>> Client Timeout !");
      client.stop();
      return;
    }
  }

  // Read all the lines of the reply from server and print them to Serial
  while (client.available()) {
    String line = client.readStringUntil('\r');
    Serial.print(line);
  }

  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("closing connection");
}


and this is the printout

So, it appears to be a bug in SDK or Arduino core, introduced in newer code than I have installed.

Yes, wifi.status() = 6 means disconnect. So it's constantly disconnecting.

Hello, everibody.
I have the same problem with an ESP32 DevKit V1.
WiFi connection fails when I try to set a static ip.
Have anyone solved this?

This reminds me of the "Double-Hit" problem in lengthy discussion here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... -867874049

In short: Certain routers, the FritzBox 74XX and 75XX are the most often named one, but they are not exclusive, require that you call `WiFi.begin()` twice in order to make a single connection.

Do at least verify that your situation is different!

This specific issue has been overcome - I don't say solved - by using ESP-core 1.0.6 instead of 1.0.4. The disadvantage is that a connection now takes >2sec, while before the complete double-hitting was completed in under 0.5sec.

Something is still not right, I think.
