My Photon connected without problems the first few times. After connecting to a few different networks, It now gets getting stuck every time I try connecting to a network during the “Connecting to network” step. If I do nothing, it timesout and fails. If I manually reset if while it is stuck, it con…

I also have the same issue with my Photon. I received it less than 2 weeks ago and setup was working fine for some time after the OTA update. @JeffL Does your Photon stay/go back into Listening Mode after passing the credentials?

Just found this. Sounds similar to the problem I’m having, but might be related to your issue, too, @JeffL
