- Sat Aug 06, 2016 2:22 pm #52317 I use mail.neo.rr.com without any problems.

On an entirely different note, I can't seem to get things working at home now.
I have 2 other routers in the house and wonder if they are causing a problem.
Do you have the ESP search for an open channel or is it hard coded to a particular channel?
