- Sun Nov 15, 2015 1:30 pm #34088 Is there a way to get the SSID to which the ESP is currently connected to? something like WiFi.localIP()? I know after WiFi.scannetwork, I can loop through SSID(i), but I want to get the SSID to which it is connected right now. I tried WiFi.SSID() and it did not return anything. I Saw WiFi.getNetworkInfo() but not sure if that is the one to use and I could not find any documentation on how to get the SSID from this.

thanks for any hints.

Are you defining the ssid or scanning and connecting to an ssid? This probably doesn't help you but I just print the SSID I've defined.

//Wifi Configuration
const char* ssid = "wirelessssid";
const char* password = "xxxxxx";
IPAddress local_ip(172, 2, 2, 65);
IPAddress gateway(172, 2, 2, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);

And then

lcd.print(ssid);

- Sun Nov 15, 2015 6:31 pm #34126 You are right. WiFi.SSID() works. I was trying in AP mode, my bad. Thanks very much.
