Hey All,
Awesome software package !!

OK, So I dug out my esp8266 christmas light controller that I built last year. It worked fine last year, now I have a new router and it won't connect. By won't connect I mean I can see the mac address under wifi devices but for some reason it won't assign (DHCP) an IP number to it. I upgraded to the Mega version and it still won't connect. I tested on my phone hotspot and it connected. Not sure what my issue is ?
Router is a Linksys WRT3200ACM running DD_WRT.
I have an existing esp8266 (not running Easy_ESP) monitoring my wood stove and it works fine.
Thanks.

Use my flasher tool (included in the release zip) and use the "serial monitor" to see what is going on. You could also do a reconfiguration of the wifi credentials using the "program only".

Hi grovkillen,
I get the following message when I try to do a serial connection;

Open serial monitor, COM port is not available
for flashing as long as this connection is open.
2 (USB) COM ports found.
Started app.

I have a NodeMCU ver 0.9 and I flashed ESP_easy_Mega-20181216_normal_esp8266_4096.bin

It should open a command prompt. Did you select the correct port?

Ya, I picked the correct port. This is a weird problem. This is what I get when I rescan and then hit open serial monitor.

Open serial monitor, COM port is not available

2 (USB) COM ports found.

The odd thing is I can upload the firmware with these settings.

This is after flashing

COM port is already in use. Cannot proceed.
Adding settings using SERIAL commands.
Flashing done (86.2s).
Start flashing on COM2 (approx 92 seconds)

Could it be a wireless security issue ? My router is set at WPA-PSK with WPA algorithm set at AES..... grasping at straws now

Same here on WIN7:

COM port is already in use. Cannot proceed.

Reported earlier:

... but ... works on Win Vista

Yup..was very strange. Turns out it was a dd-wrt firmware issue. Now connected
