@rickas7, you said "it also worked fine", but refer to the following ticket: > [@Photon SoftAP mode - mobile cannot obtain address](https://community.particle.io/t/photon-softap-mode-mobile-cannot-obtain-address/21551/30): > > @ScruffR, I can report that a Photon module with headers sitting on a prototyping bread board works fine with SoftAP (Android mobile and iPad) , whereas soldered to my PCB doesn’t. So there seems to be some subtle \*\* hardware issue \*\*, most likely the radio because signal strength is excellent, but DHCP is not working when sitting or soldered to PCB. Am going to enable the new logger functionality so that we may trace the system messages within setup() and compare a good outcome with a bad. B… Am wondering if your _hardware_ setup (eg perhaps a stand-alone Photon or on a bread board) is _different_ to @Len and @ghovagim because that it what I and others are finding... To prove a point, can @Len and/or @ghovagim repeat their experiment on a stand-alone Photon? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.particle.io/t/ios-10-rejects-a-photon-in-setup/25864)._
