Error -301 if using WiFi.config()

[dabu667]

ThingSpeak fails to connect to server if there's a WiFi.config(IPA, GATE, MASK); in the code. It works fine if the line is commented.
It took a long time to isolate the problem but this is it.
Error is -301.

I am seeing this intermittently even without WiFi.config(). Haven't figured out what the root cause is yet.

I'm getting the same issue. "Problem reading channel. HTTP error code -301"

This is with the example code in the library and only changing the SSID and password. I'm on a TTGO TBeam v1.1

When you set up the gateway and subnet, please ensure that DNS is set up correctly as well. Also, please use the latest version of the ESP32's libraries and you should not see this problem.
