Connection request failed

Dear Nordic,

I would like to inquire about a technical issue regarding the nRF7002DK. I am attempting to run the WiFi Shell example on the development board, but I am encountering a "Connection request failed" problem. I have searched online for solutions, but have been unable to find any. I would like to ask for your insights on the possible cause of this issue and any potential solutions.

Here are the details of my development environment:

SDK version: nRF Connect SDK v2.4.0
Toolchain version: nRF Connect SDK Toolchain v2.4.0
Development environment: Windows 11
Development tool: Visual Studio Code
Development board: nRF7002DK nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
Example project path: v2.4.0\nrf\samples\wifi\shell

Here is the result of my attempt to run the example:

I suspect that there might be an issue with my development board, but I couldn't find any similar reports online. Therefore, I would appreciate your insights on the possible cause of this problem and any potential solutions.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Best regards,

  • Hello,

    I tested this sample under NCS 2.4.2, as it is the latest SDK version, and it is working fine on my side (you can also try updating to NCS 2.4.2). I am able to connect to the network. I don't think this is a hardware issue, as the scanning is working properly on your side. Have you entered the network details properly?

    Kind Regards,
