HELP! Can't log in to both machinesWIFI passwords!?
-
My android phone is asking for a password now.
MODS/tech supremos, I really need to know how to get round either phantom network key request/password or a reset of the board and keep my machine set up!
Definitely no password on fusedeep but now always asked for key, not sure about point6 machine but do not have the password anway (and sd card well tucked away currently).
Must get both machines working properly ASAP.
Thanks Rich

@fusedeep On the duet, do you have a SSID/password set up for the wifi connection and does that work?
-
DEFINITELY no gcode passwords on either set up.
Just checked.
So, my laptop now seems to be looking for a "network security key" (different to password) and, oddly, my android phone won't connect to either without a password (so won't connect).
i did add a password to FuseDeep but it did not connect properly. Now removed (via SD card direct edit.
Plus putty not connecting and YAT borked ages ago.
Am in real trouble here!

And...putty is not connecting (yat won't install) so cannot simply check things.
Sorry, missed this one. Putty (or yat, or DWC, …) won't work because you've lost your local WiFi network - which, until now, was managed by your laptop (as a "software router"). Without this, your WiFi devices cannot communicate.
As I already told you, I see two options:
- get your laptop to connect to the router (no idea how, sometimes you can find the initial password on the back of the router). Or you reset the router and re-configure it from scratch.
- configure the Duet in WiFi access point mode (you got the proper link from @Stephen6309), then, try to connect from your laptop or your phone.
As I've learned, you don't have a physical router, so option #1 now means to re-establish the routing functionality of your laptop…

If you don't recall the "network security key", how shall I? Forget the passwords on the Duets, it's the (local) network that matters. Currently, you don't have any.
Be happy that you can control one of your printers locally. On the other one ("point6", I guess?), you can try option #2, but be warned: it takes some time to properly set up the Duet as a WiFi access point.
-
Do you by any chance have a standalone WiFi access point?
With that you could setup the Duets as typical WiFi clients.

So I seem to recall from your past threads that you use the Duet in Access Point mode where the Duet creates the network and your laptop connects to the Duet SSID. This is likely what it's asking for as a password.
Can you share your config files with us here?
If you can't recall what the password was for the the SSID, you can simply create a new one.
Take a deep breath. Panic never helps. I'm confident we can get you back up and running.
Here is the information for getting access point mode working:
https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m589-configure-access-point-parameters
Do you have an M589 command in your config.g? That's where the password is set.
The M551 password is something else and you don't need or want to set one there right now. So if your config still has that, remove it.
-
@fcwilt Nope, never ever have had.
Always worked fine til my laptop wifi borked.
-
I tried another different laptop and it also wanted network security key for both machines this morning, no idea if this is usual as I don't think I have tried to connect before with another.
I may have had a key (?) or not, either way, need to refresh both duet boards, ascertain key and get them running asap.
Have done the big print I needed but wanted to do a load of info sheet holders today on the point6...

The Configuration for the Wifi is not stored in config.g but in the wifi chip.
You will need to do the following:
a) connect to the printer via serial console
b) Set a new password for the access point mode using M589
c) save the new password somewhere safe for reference
d) enable the access point mode using M552 S2
e) use the password set using M589 when your computer prompts you for a network security keyLet us know how this works out.

@fusedeep you are running M552 S2 on both machines at the end of config.g. This puts both machines in ‘accesss point’ mode, so the laptop connects directly to the WiFi of each machine. At some point you will have set this up with M589. In that command you specify the SSID (the name of the network) and a password. It is this password that your laptop appears to have forgotten. If you didn’t write the password down, you need to connect via USB, and send M589 with SSID and password to set up the Duet access point. You can also do this by writing the commands into a macro called runonce.g, which will run and then delete itself at startup (so make a copy in case it doesn’t work). See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#configuring-duet-in-wifi-access-point-mode
The commands in a macro would be:
M552 S0 ; sets WiFi to idle G4 S5 ; wait 5 seconds for WiFi to turn off M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1 G4 S5 ; wait again M552 S2 ; enable access point Ian

Hi, thanks for the information.
Can i do this directly in the sd card edit?
Yat is borked and putty playing up (I am not an IT expert either, consoles freak me out when they don't work).

I have 2 duet running. Should the ssid label for each be different, Yes, only use ad hoc.

My gut feeling is this has nothing to do with M589 etc.
It never had one and my android phone won't connect with the M589 password either.
It's something else imo.

Can i do this directly in the sd card edit?
Yes. Create a text file with the Gcode commands I listed earlier. Save it on your local machine as "runonce.g". Copy it to the SD card from one of the printers, in the "sys" folder. Return SD card to machine, turn on machine, give it a minute, then try and connect.
Do one at a time, giving them different SSID names and IP addresses (I think, from memory, you gave them both the same IP address before; this could be where it's got confused). The password can be the same for both, though.
FYI: File runonce.g is supported from RRF3.1.0 and later. If this file is present at startup, it is run after running config.g and activating the network, and then deleted. So I hope you're not on RRF 2.x!

But, I have put the M859 code line directly and nothing will connect using that pasword.
What is the difference using a one time widget?

@fusedeep You need to turn off the Access Point (with M552 S0), change the SSID/password (with M587), then turn it back on again. The macro does this for you.
If you're able to do this with a serial terminal (putty/YAT), you don't need to use a macro.
Save the file as a .txt file, then edit the name and replace '.txt' with '.g'.

I have added;
M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1
To my point 6 (with my password) and it won't accept the password.
Nor will my phone.
Or my other laptop.
They keep asking for NETWORK SECURITY KEYS, I don't think this is anything to do with gcode passwords and a fundamental password deep in duet that is either borked or I forgot.
It's a real problem people.
I was nervous about going wifi, and this is exactly why...
