I had a project using multiple sensors and and switches working fine displaying states and values on my iPhone until 3 days ago. since then i have not been able to log onto Blynk.
I have cut back to the bare minimum of code to which i am WiFi Ok but Blynk timeout.
I have generated another project inside Blynk and using new Template ID , Template Name and AUTH_TOKEN, just to see if i could log on with the basics but still no joy. I have cut and pasted and checked the Temp/Auth code and am satisfied i got that bit correct.
I have used 443 instead of 80 and used n1.blynk.cloud.
I have used the AI bot to check the code.
I am using a Wemos D1 R2 which I have replaced and still cant get it to log on
The serial output is as below
[8033] Connecting to blynk.cloud:80
[14124] Login timeout
[14425] Connecting to blynk.cloud:80
[20488] Login timeout
[20789] Connecting to blynk.cloud:80
[26333] Connecting to blynk.cloud:80
/* Comment this out to disable prints and save space */
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
/* Fill in information from Blynk Device Info here */
#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "*****"
#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_NAME "*****"
#define BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN "*****"
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "*****";
char pass[] = "*****";
void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(9600);
Blynk.begin(BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN, ssid, pass);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}
This is causing me some problems, any ideas ?

@Nigel Please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your serial monitor output and your code so that they display correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:
```
Copy and paste these if you can’t find the correct symbol on your keyboard.
Your code doesn’t reflect these changes. How EXACTLY did you do this, and what were the results in the serial monitor?
I’m not aware of a Blynk server called n1, is this a typo?
Is there any other serial output prior to the output you’ve posted?
Hi Pete
You are correct the code did not reflect what i had detailed in the request for help.
In one of the previous sketches i had used Lon1,“Blynk.cloud”,443 and did still not get any response.
I was using a Sky router for my WiFi but this seems to have issues all of its own, i have Alexa and other IOT devices connected through it to the internet but would not even let my 8600 out to the internet. For this reason i have gone back to using a MIFI which now allows me to get out to the internet, but still times out on the login to Blynk.
I have deleted the device in Blynk console completely and created a new device with new Template ID , name and authorisation code and still get the same issue.
Using port 443 without swapping to the BlynkSimpleEsp8266_SSL library isn’t the correct way forward either.
But, you’ve not answered my question about whether you are using a 2.4Ghz network for your IoT network. The fact that Alexa and other unnamed IoT devices are functioning correctly means nothing, unless thy are ESP8288 or ESP32 based devices, and I have no idea what an 8600 is.
When I ask questions I do it for a reason. Focussed answers to those questions help with ruling-out potential issues.
