Can anyone suggest why I might be having problems connecting to the server.
My auth, SSID and Password have been changed for publication but it appears to be connecting to my home WiFi OK.
The funny code before the connection message to my SSID in the serial monitor is strange.
Any assistance would be appreciated
I am using
Wemos ESP8266 D1.Set to 80Mhz and Upload speed of 115200 on Com3
I was unable to debug what was happening.
But as you suggested something was old, a full reinstall of the Arduino IDE and the libraries worked.
One of the test sketches now runs fine.
