@GBusy24 I think you have set up your Duet with the same SSID name as your existing network. This isn't a good idea. With access point mode, you are setting up a completely separate WiFi network on the Duet, for other devices to connect to (you have to change WiFi network on your phone/tablet/laptop); it doesn't link to your existing WiFi network. As I said, please go back to using the normal mode, and connect the Duet to your existing WiFi network, as I think the initial problem was the use of the apostrophe.

Send the following commands from YAT, and post the responses you get:

M587 ; lists stored WiFi networks

If "Greg's WIFI" (with an apostrophe) is on the list, send

M552 S0 ; Set WiFi to idle mode
M552 S1 ; turn on WiFi in client mode

If "Greg's WIFI" (with an apostrophe) is NOT on the list, send

M552 S0 ; Set WiFi to idle mode
M588 S"*" ; deletes all saved SSIDs
M587 S"Greg''s WIFI" P"**********" I192.168.0.62
M552 S1 ; turn on WiFi in client mode

This should set up the WiFi correctly, and connect the Duet to your normal network.

@droftarts Thanks, I'll do this when I get home from work.

@droftarts Greg''s WIFI was listed, but W/O the apostrophe and I went ahead and ran the commands you said anyway just in case, You can see the 'No network found' result, so I sent the second group of commands you mentioned and my wifi light on the board goes off and I can't connect in normal mode. Head scratching time. Please advise.Terminal Snippet.txt

@droftarts Finally thought to do this that you told me to do a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd let you see it too.Network Scan.txt

@droftarts The only time I've been able to get the wifi module green to turn on is when I set up the access point mode

[GBusy24]

@droftarts I finally solved it. I'm connected and I just pulled up DWC. Thanks

@GBusy24 What was it?

[droftarts]

@GBusy24 Was it that the IP address sent with M587 was out of range of the router? ie you sent

M587 S"Greg''s WIFI" P"**********" I192.168.0.62

but router addresses need to start 192.168.1.xxx?

I can see that the network scan showed your WiFi:

ssid=Greg's WIFI chan=1 rssi=-45 phymode=n auth=WPA/WPA2-Personal mac=08:95:2a:f8:6e:36

So it's either a password error or an IP address error.

@droftarts @Phaedrux , I think it was both the error with the quotatiion mark and also the I parameter I had in the 587. I'm jusy happy you guys help me solve it. Thanks again.
