cannot see KC868-A6 in router client list after setting STA mode - Armsp0 - 07-24-2026
I have successfully flashed KCS_KC868_A6_V2.1.9.bin to my KC868-A6-V1.3 board and can access the web server in STA mode. Login is OK.
In the Network tab I set STA mode and enter 2.4Ghz wifi SSID and password (details checked correct). after reboot I do not see the KC868 has joined my WiFi network.
I have attached the serial logger output of boot process for review. Is this the correct bin for my board?

Ok new firmware KCS_KC868_A6_V2.2.20.bin flashed to KC868-A6-V1.3 successfully.
Kincony Web Server accessed after joining AP wifi.
AP changed to STA, credentials entered and changes saved and rebooted.
The device again fails to join my WiFi network with this firmware. Maybe I'll try setting it up with my Home Assistant ESPHome integration and see if that works.
I have attached the serial logs for reboot after Firmware update and reboot after wifi change to STA mode.

yes, suggest you config by ESPHome to test wifi.

I have successfully connected my KC868-A6 to my 2.4Ghz wifi network using ESPHome. I guess I will continue down this path now as I cannot seem to establish a wifi connection after changing from AP to STA mode using the Kincony firmware.
