Hi, 

Is it possible to connect the ESP32 FDC+ WiFi Adapter ... to my Windows 11 PC WiFi instead of my WiFi router?

Hi, 

When I try to setup a "Hot Spot" with my Windows 11 PC:  

I see:  DESKTOP-HFS3CGA  ...  and a password ... but no connection ???  What am I missing?

Hi, 

Wow, simple fix!  I changed the name of my computer and now it connects!

Hi, 

Next problem is with the browser ... I'm guessing it's something to do with Windows 11 security updates.  

This site can’t be reached

192.168.0.56 refused to connect.

Try:

• Checking the connection
• Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

What would be nice is a USB HUB that will disconnect the DATA lines while keeping the Power ON so I can just select a switch like most USB HUBs do now for Power & Data.

Hi, 

192.168.0.56 is the IP address of my ESP32 FDC+ adapter.  I'm trying to connect with the Chrome browser, but now it seems my Windows 11 or Chrome security has blocked out some things.
