DWC no longer connects to my laptop

Phaedrux

You might want to give ATT support a try on getting the device connected. It's odd that your phone can connect to DWC when close but not farther away.

Yeah it's just a weird problem because it connects to my phone just not the PC and it only happened when I upgraded internet

Does my networking section of the config.g file seem correct?

; Network
M552 S1 ; connect to strongest network with known SSID
M552 S1 P"mySSIDname"             ; enable network
M552 S2 P"mySSIDname"     ; enable access point
M554 Pipaddress
M586 P0 S1                                    ; enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0                                    ; disable FTP
M586 P2 S0                                   ; disable Telnet

Perhaps you need to reset the saved wifi profiles on the printer.

In my config.g, I have the following:

; Network
M552 S1                                            ; enable network
M586 P0 S1                                         ; enable HTTP
M586 P1 S0                                         ; disable FTP
M586 P2 S0                                         ; disable Telnet

I created the following macro files:

Wifi - Clear All (clears all saved profiles from memory)

M588 S"*"
G4 P1000
M587

Wifi - Set (creates a profile entry in memory)

M552 S0
G4 P5000
M587 S"myssid" P"mywifipassword"
G4 P1000
M587
M552 S1

Wifi - Cycle (when I'm having connectivity issues, I can cycle the wifi and reconnect)

M552 S0
G4 P5000
M587
M552 S1

Is this your current config.g? Because the last M552 command is setting up the Duet in Access Point mode, ie your phone is connecting direct to the Duet, rather than using your ATT network router. You should only need one M552 command, and it really depends how you want to connect. You can also remove the M554 command that sets the Gateway address, that should also be set by the DHCP server, and is unnecessary in Access Point mode.

Yeah thats in my config file, I'll remove the extra m552 and the m554 and give that shot 1st

@Sgt-G-294 It might be worth following the 'initial setup' guide to connect the Duet to your ATT WiFi, using a USB connection, delete saved SSIDs as @bLiTzJoN suggests with M588 S"*", and add the SSID afresh. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet

As you have the 2.1.0 WiFi firmware installed, you can do a scan for WiFi SSIDs. See M587.1 and M587.2.

It is odd that, though the last command sets up the Duet in Access Point mode, your M122 reports says it is connected to an access point. See if the above helps.

@droftarts I have unfortunately followed that many times and used the M588 without change. Maybe I should reflash the wifi firmware?

Sgt G 294

@Sgt-G-294 So currently to even connect to the phone, I still have to connect the PC to YAT and tell it M552 S0 then M552 S1 and then I can connect. As a band-aid, I added the below code at end of the networking in the config and this at least allows me to connect by not carrying the laptop downstairs every time.

M552 S0
G4 S2
M552 S1

@Sgt-G-294 Can't hurt to reflash. Now, it should be mentioned that I performed the incremental upgrade as noted which might be the issue here if you overlooked it.

I have found that it's very hard to maintain connection to the Duet board via wifi network if the computer I am using has VPN switched on.
