      This can be closed.
      After sending the commands over and over and over, I finally got them to work.

        I'm reopening this request.

        I can't connect to it to change anything.

        I can only connect with USB at this time.
        There is only 5v power from the USB port.

        I'm still having trouble getting any commands to go through.
        Occasionally I can get it to work, but if I power off then on, I have the same problem of WiFi error

          Is the SD card inserted or not?

          Are you following along with this guide?

          https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet

          If you're having trouble with Serial Tools, try the built in terminal and screen as shown in the guide.

            Card was inserted.

            I discovered that I am unable to use the 10key portion of my keyboard to send commands.

            I have to use the numbers at the top of the keyboard.

            This is what happens. I enter a command, say M587 using the 10key, nothing happens. Then I enter the same command again using the numbers at top of keyboard. Both commands show up with returned data.
            Here's an example from SerialTools.

            m115
            
            m115
            FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 Mini 5+ FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.3RC2 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 Mini5plus WiFi FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-05-11 14:55:40
            FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 Mini 5+ FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.3RC2 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 Mini5plus WiFi FIRMWARE_DATE: 2021-05-11 14:55:40
            ok
            

            So, I finally got the wi-fi working. Even using the numbers at the top of the keyboard it took a few tries. I had to set the wi-fi then erase it multiple times. The full M587 command would just hang there and not return a confirmation.

            I used this command to erase.

            M588 S"*"
            

            Specifically I was attempting to set a static IP address to the board. I could get just the wi-fi connected, but not the static IP.
            Using this command - of course changing to the appropriate info.

            M587 S"Network-ssid-123" P"Password123" I192.128.1.200

              I also noticed that I can not connect to 5ghz networks, but I did not see any mention of this in the instructions.

              Can you confirm if this is correct?

              Thanks

                @davidewen the ESP8266 used for wifi doesn't support 5Ghz networks

                Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

                  Thanks. That confirms my findings.

                  May I suggest adding that comment to the setup instructions?

                      My mistake. You are correct.
                      I missed it even after reading the instructions a few times.
                      Of course I wasn't looking for that as I was trouble shooting, but that is no excuse.
                      Thanks for pointing it out.
