 Done! 🎉 
 
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If the Captive Portal does not close after inserting your WiFi password (and also doesn't connect to your WiFi) then you can run the `erase.sh` script, which will completely erase your Sonoff's flash. After running `erase.sh` you should reflash the Sonoff by following the normal installation instructions. This will most likely solve the issue.
