I did a project for IoT attendance system using ESP8266 and RDM6300. However, I can connect to wifi using WiFiMulti.addAP() function for my home WiFi but can't connect using WiFi.begin().
I tried WiFi.begin() instead of WiFiMulti.addAP() function to connect to my mobile hotspot but the esp8266 is failing to connect. In fact, WiFi.begin() also failed to connect to the same wifi router which was previously connected by WiFiMulti.addAP(). Serial monitor constantly showing the below error.
Exception (3):
epc1=0x4020970d epc2=0x00000000 epc3=0x00000000 excvaddr=0x4003bfc9 depc=0x00000000
