Spaces in SSID and password resets esp8266

[demandajmenso]

Can anyone confirm this? After some head scratching i finally figured out why my module resets or doesn't respond in some cases when i try to connect to an AP which has spaces in SSID and/or password.

As a point of reference, my AP password has spaces in it (but my SSID doesn't) and I've never seen a reset because of it.

I had the exact same error because I had a trailing space after the SSID,

I can't reproduce this with latest git. Connecting to my Android hotspot (ssid has a space) works fine.
Closing as can't reproduce.

I have the same problem but I am trying to flash a sonoff dual (it is a board with a esp8266 chip).

@AalianKhan did you find the issue with your sonoff. I am having a similar issue with sonoff basic when upgrading the firmware fro 5.14 to 6. I tried to re-flash with 5.14 and the following log keeps coming up. ****NOTE: My SSID has no space and I flashed the chip with the exact same config before.

@nalinda6963 yes I have managed to solve this problem. I simply held the button on the board for 40 seconds which resets the configuration. Then I typed "ssid1 xxxx" for my SSID and "password1 xxx" for my password. I recommend searching in the sonoff GitHub page. I found the solution there

@AalianKhan Thanks. I will check the documentation and try this later.
