ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello. I am using ESP8266 with FTDI232. I am trying to ping. but it doesn't work. AT, AT+GMR,AT+CWLAP,AT+CWMODE, AT+CWJAP are working well. when I use AT+PING="www.facebook.com" it doesn't work. importantly AT+PING is not working. it shows error.

Can anyone have the solution ?

Hi,

I have the same problem right now using the ESP8266 from arduino.

I'm connected to my local network with a client IP and stuff but there is no way to ping google.com or any other computer on my local network.

If you find a way to make it work on your side, please let me know here.

May be it require a firmware upgrade.

Because I faced similar problem but with another AT command
AT+CIOBAUD was not working in my older firmware
And after I updated the firmware of ESP that command is perfectly working now.

If you don't know how to upgrade the firmware, I have made a tutorial video on that. Hope that helps you out

Is this the latest firmware? Thank you for your help!
