Hop onto a device’s factory WiFi access point, read the configuration it has
actually persisted (identity plus WiFi station settings), and return to the home
network.
Use this when a device configures but never appears on the LAN: it shows whether
the station SSID, key, and static IP took, and whether the device has associated
yet — answering “did the onboard / restore –to-ap actually write what I expected?”
without the device having to join the network first.
