ok, thanks Bob… have a good day.
WiFi routers are typically configured by the ISP for a maximum of 5 or 6 clients. This is arbitrary, and is easily adjusted through the router console. With the growth of IoT devices this default is proving too small for many users who are often unaware that they can adjust the setting for themselves. There might be an absolute limit such as 250, but this is specific to the router and is not a feature of WiFi. Bandwidth won’t limit the number of connections, but it will obviously limit the throughput for each user.

Hi Jeff
I am one of them. Thanks for the info but that is not a concern for me at the moment. Keep in the old grey matter for future.
Just the point I was making although I don’t know what the WiFi limit is and just how much is needed for each camera. But it is something the user should be mindful of when throwing such devices at the WiFi system and expecting it to work or miracles.
Cheers Bob

What is the serial-to-USB converter you are using, how have you configured it and how is it connected to the ESP32? Have you confirmed that the converter is recognised by the OS and that the correct drivers have been installed and are functioning properly? Have you confirmed that the correct serial port has been selected in the IDE? What is the procedure you are using to put the ESP into flash mode?
The shield should be easier to set up, but the points of confirming that the driver has been installed, the driver is working properly and the correct port is selected still apply.
Note that it is possible for other applications to prevent the Arduino IDE from finding the serial port, even if it is installed properly. So it is worthwhile closing other apps that might use a serial port and checking in device manager rather than just relying on something appearing in the ports list.
