My 2.4Ghz Wifi is definitely called ASUS as I setup the router and the 5Ghz side is called ASUS_5G lol simple I know but it works and the SSID is hidden so would that make a difference ?

You say "no spaces" but your posts here do have spaces after the stars.

@nophead yes I had to put them in as it changes it from looking like P" ** 23password23 **" to P"23password23"

The "No known networks found" message means it couldn't find a 2.4GHz network with SSID ASUS that is not hidden.

If you have configured your router to hide the SSID, you should be able to connect by sending M552 S1 P"ASUS" instead of just M552 S1.

It could be that the WiFi signal is too weak. I suggest you use your smartphone to scan for wifi networks in the vicinity of the Duet. Check that is reports the network ASUS, that it says the frequency is 2.4GHz, and that it has a good signal strength.

Is the Duet on the bench, or fitted into a printer?

M552 S1 P"ASUS"
ok
WiFi module is connected to access point ASUS, IP address 192.168.254.43

Thank you all so much for your help and Thank you dc42 for working out what it was I will gladly buy you a beer if you are ever in my area.

Just a quick side question would you recommend that I update all the firmwares to the latest version or run on the current ones that I have.

FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-12-24b1

You can update to the latest set of firmwares by uploading this zip file as is to the settings page.

@phaedrux Thanks very much

@dc42 I have just connected the screen up that I bought which all seems to work but I noticed that the duet isn't connecting to the wifi again.

Do I need to add M552 S1 P"ASUS" to the config.g so that it knows that it has to connect to a hidden SSID wifi network ?

It seems odd that it would need the SSID specified, but if it's working to connect to it when you send the command manually there's no reason not to add it to the config.g so it's done automatically at boot up.

RAM

@phaedrux where about should I add it in the config.g file ?

M552 S1 ; Enable network
M552 S1 P"ASUS" <----- here ?
M587 S"ASUS" P"password" ; Configure access point. You can delete this line once connected

Sorry I am not very good when it comes to this type of thing unfortunately

Phaedrux

You can amend the first line to add the p"Asus" part.

Then remove the last line where it's adding the password.

@phaedrux Thanks very much, was just taking a look at your printer it is really nice, hoping to finish my Hypercube soon.

Phaedrux

Thanks. It was a labour of love. Good luck on your Hypercube.
