Cant get Duet Web Control to say Connected
-
So a couple of years ago I started a project to build a 3D printer. I bought a Duet2 Wifi and and PanelDue 7. On the bench I got the Wifi connected and had the DWC working. I started to mount stuff in a panel but then life happened and I have not touched it in over an year and a half. So today I powered the Duet up and the software comes up on the PanelDue. I used the Panel Console and set up the Wifi and it worked. However when I go to my browser and enter the IP address the main DWC page comes up but unlike in the videos on the top bar the button does not change to Disconnect. It says connect and there is a message on the right that says disconnected. I try to hit the connect button but nothing happens. None of the links on the page work. I saw some references to updating the DWC but this all worked when I last touched it.
I am running Firmware version 2.03 and I have done nothing to the Config.g file as yet. Right now after I reset I am having to go the the panel console and enter M552 S1 to get the Wifi back up because I have not added the line to config.g yet.
Any ideas? or do you need any additional information from me?

@tomartig I fixed it!. I was reviewing the post from ddxdesign and it sounded a little familiar. I was getting some read errors from the SD card when I selected it on the Panel. I reseated the SD card and that cleared up but did not resolve my issue. In that post he mentioned some gz files. I checked my www folder and saw no .gz files. So just on a hunch I backed up my SD card and the deleted everything from the www folder. I then downloaded the DuetWebControl 1.22.6 zip file from the assests of the 2.03 release. I noticed the .gz files were there. I replaced the whole www folder with the zip file contents and it worked.
What firmware version am I able to update too on this vintage board? Also would I be able to skip updates and just jump to the one I needed? What would be the benefit of upgrading?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks in advance for the help.You can run the latest firmware. In fact, on a new build it would be better if you did.
Yes you can jump directly to the latest by flashing it directly, but then you need to manually prepare the SD card with the rest of the files needed. The easiest way to update is once you have the web interface up you can upload the complete release zip files one at a time and everything will be updated as you go.
If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them first. Reboot after each. Use M115 in the gcode console to verify the firmware has been applied.

That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.You can see the change logs here:

These documents will come in handy during the conversion.
