E60 — WIFI_MANAGER_FAILED

The Wi-Fi manager failed to initialise or connect.

What happens​

The error is logged, the error log is saved to NVS, and the device reboots after 1 second. The device cannot operate without a Wi-Fi connection, so a reboot is the only path forward.

Possible causes​

  • Wi-Fi credentials stored in NVS are wrong or have been corrupted — the device cannot connect to the configured access point.
  • The configured Wi-Fi network is out of range or down.
  • NVS data is corrupted and the Wi-Fi manager cannot parse its configuration.

How to fix​

  1. Verify the Wi-Fi network is available — Confirm the access point is powered on and in range.
  2. Reconfigure Wi-Fi credentials — If the device cannot connect with its stored credentials, hold the configuration button to enter setup mode and re-enter the correct SSID and password.
  3. Erase NVS and reflash — If credentials are corrupted beyond recovery, perform a full flash erase (espflash erase-flash) and reflash. You will need to reconfigure Wi-Fi from scratch.
