[SOLVED]ERROR: Network has already been added while doing initial setup on HC Lite

[Neo Andersson 230]

Guys, anyone have encountered  this problem?
I am trying to setup my HC3 Lite but always throws error when it comes to network selection. I fill the wifi name then add my password and it can not connect to my wifi. It says
Wifi connection conflict - Network has already been added
I tried factory reset, i tried Network reset, i restarted my rooter..nothing helped.
Can anyone suggest some solution??
thanks

Have you tried connecting even temporatly to another network to check it this has something to do with the specific configuration?
You can even use the AP of a phone for the test.

If phone AP will work it will also clear any other network data from previous attempts which will should allow you to chane the network after to the desired one.

@Neo Andersson,

You are more experienced as me but I guess it means that the WIFI is already active.

On my HC3 it shows see picture as I try to set up WIFI again.

I hope it helps

thanks for the help, and no, the wifi was not set yet..so somewhere there must be some error either in my router or in the HClite

I am still having the same issue..
Anyone could help with this?? What  should be checked yet???

I am not a big expert in routers, but it seems to me that the porblem is elswhere, because i have never ever had this issue before in engine2. Some time ago i had HC lite as a slave without any issue..
Now we tried two different hubs..we can not finish the setup.

Anyone has any clue what to do?

Maybe @m.roszak can you assist a bit here?

I was just right about to close the ticket..I did exactly what you suggested, I created a hotspot on the phone, and tried to connect there and it worked..So probably i will grab my hammer and make some soft touches on my router
Thanks

Anyway, after those years spent on this forum, i still dont know how to close a post, or set it to Solved state or something..There is that "moderate" dropdown but there is no Solved option..

I got that option so I did it for you

 

I am glad its resolved.
