Drone-as-WiFi-Dongle, cannot connect

In the past, I followed these procedures:

  1. Switch on your real drone then connect it to your computer using a USB cable.
  2. Run sphinx-drone-as-wifidongle configuration command, indicating the name of the drone model you are about to simulate, e.g. anafi, anafi_ai.

$ sphinx-drone-as-wifidongle --model=anafi_ai

I would then connect my phone to the Drone WiFi, with same password as normal mode.

NOW, for some reason, on 2 drones and 2 computers, when I run the procedure, and the lights look correct on drone, the connection to WiFi just FAILS. It says ‘Connecting…’ for about 30 seconds then just ends with ‘Connection Failed’. Tried 3 phones too.

I do not know what to do to diagnose this. I did a drone HARD RESET, but no change. HELP!
