      @TimVukman:

      I will reboot the router
      This channel works fine for the other duet card.

      That's even more odd!

        No go. Router rebooted. Can't connect to the new duet card.
        Can connect to the old duet card no problem

        Oddly enough my panelDue is displaying My Duet when it was displaying Tevo Tarantula earlier. It's not showing on AngryIP now either, so maybe it's signal strength?

        Maybe I'll just shut it all down and give up until tomorrow

        Tomorrow I might swap memory cards between the two printers. I won't turn on the printer, just connect to the board via USB and see if I can see anything different.

        I guess I could move the PanelDue to the other board and see if it reads anything on the card that is currently in it.

        If I'm careful moving things around, I might be able to isolate what is actually working and what is not.

          It's a new day here, so let's get this sorted out once and for all.

          I have not turned on this printer yet today.
          I am connected via USB to the main board.
          PanelDue Says My Duet in the top line
          Console Says Connected

          Pronterface connected and printer online
          M552 from Pronterface says wifi module is disabled

          M552 S0 Wifi Module is Started

          M587 shows my network in remembered networks (also shows TNCAP2FCC19 which I know nothing about?)

          M552 S1 show wifi module is connected to correct network with correct IP address.

          AngryIP scanner hit the address in 11ms and returned the network address for the card.

          PanelDue console reflects wifi module started and wifi module connected to access point with correct wifi name and correct ip address.

          This is the document I have been following. What to do next for version 1.19 of the firmware says TODO
          I have been trying to install the latest version of firmware so that it is the same version as my other Duet Card since I can't seem to get past this point.

          I have entered my IP address in the browser and it appears that I am connecting today, but I am not getting the DWF interface screen in my browser. I am not getting an error message saying that it could not connect or that the address is unknown

          [[language]]
          https://duet3d.com/wiki/Getting_connected_to_the_Duet_WiFi
          
          

          Something is different this morning.

          I disconnected and reconnected the USB and when the board booted this time, it automatically went out and connected to the wifi network

          I am also reading Tevo Tarantula in the red bar on the top of the PanelDue.

          The only way for that to change would be that my config.g file was read, because that it where the printer name is defined. If it did not read config.g, the panel would say My Duet.

          Now when I enter M997 S0, from Pronterface, I get an error message that says.
          Error: In-application programming binary "iap4e.bin" not found which is true. That file is not on my memory card.

          The iap files are not listed in the current firmware files on github for version 1.20

          I copied the two files from the version 1.19 firmware on the same page. Is that ok??

          Now I am getting Firmware binary "DuetWifiFirmware.bin" not found when I run M997 S0.

          Obviously I am connecting to the network.
          Obviously I am reading from the memory card.

          M997 S0 reported DuetWifiFirmware.bin not found
          M997 S1 installed successfully?

          I checked the memory card and DuetWifiFirmware was no longer there? I copied it over again.
          M997 S0 still fails

            after a successful firmware update, DuetWifiFirmware.bin will be deleted automatically.
            Are you able to connect to DWC or not?

                I will be getting a Wifi Extender delivered tomorrow. just because I would like the signal strength to be higher.
                It is clear that the board is connecting to the access point and thus my network.
                I see no reason why the browser I use to connect to the duet wifi in the delta printer won't connect to the duet wifi in my cartesian.
                I'm all ears. I would really appreciate an explanation and a troubleshooting path forward.

                  -62dbM is rather low. What WiFi signal strength does your other Duet report? Is the Duet in your Cartesian printer shielded by metalwork to a greater extent than the one in your delta?

                    Hi dc42

                    The Duet in the Cartesian is indeed shielded by metalwork. I put the power supply and board and external heat bed driver in an old desktop computer case that I had, with voltage / current meters in the space that used to hold the DVD. It really does look good, but I'd rather it worked properly.

                    It never caused grief with the other card, but I know that all wifi modules are not created equal. I will get rid of the case and see where things stand.

                    My Wifi on the delta with the other Duet card is 59dBm

                      I took the board out of the case for the cartesian printer. The M122 command reports -62dBm. M552 shows the board connected to the correct network and displaying the correct ip address.

                      I suspect that the readings for the signal strength are the same because while I was doing all my prior testing, I did not have the metal cover in place on the computer case. No matter, I am not going to put everything back inside it.

                      I have note yet received the Wifi signal booster.

                        Hi,
                        I am new here.
                        I recently purchased a Duet_Ethernet board and I am currently getting it set up.
                        Does the SD card have to be specifically formatted for the Duet?
                        I ask because I tried to copy all my files over to a larger SD card, but I get same symptoms as Tim.
                        Both cards have the same exact files, the original will work perfect, but the replacement won't work.

                          The SD card needs to be formatted to the FAT16 or FAT32 format.

                          You can test whether the new card is being recognised by sending M21 from USB or from PanelDue.

                            I thought you were on to something there, as the new sd card was formatted as exfat. So i formatted to fat32, copied files from original sd card over and pasted to new card and… no dice. Still won't work. M21 shows sd card in slot 0, with 59GBs

                              Hi:

                              Ok, I picked up my Wifi Extender and it is now configured and connected on my Wifi.

                              I have powered up the cartesian.

                              It connects to the Wifi

                              I have a network utility in my Avast antivirus software.
                              IP address 192.168.2.27

                              The software idicates that the device is problem free

                              Wifi signal strength - 59dBm which is the same as my delta printer reports.

                              My browser connects to the Delta printer with no issues.

                              192.168.2.21
                              I backspace the 1 and type 7
                              Enter
                              Browser does not connect.

                              Suggestions?

                                FOUND IT!!!! IT'S OK NOW

                                I did a comparison between my two memory cards. On the Card that was not working, The directory structure with the folders that is supposed to be in the WWW folder was in the root.

                                I moved the files into the www folder, power cycled the machine and all it well. I am connected.

                                Sorry to waste so much of your time. I even confirmed the directory structure in the wiki and it is clear that the folders are showing in a www directory.

                                Really, I'm actually not this stupid normally.

                                Thanks for your patience!! I will never make that mistake again

                                  Glad you figured it out TimVukman.
                                  I wasn't trying to hijack you thread, I thought maybe our problems were related.
                                  I guess not.

                                  I figured out my problem as well, maybe this will help someone else.

                                  When I formatted to Fat32, there was 16MB of space being left unallocated. That would screw the Duet up and wouldn't read the SD card correctly. It could see it mounted in slot zero, but that is it.

                                  What I did to fix the SD card was run DiskPart, select and clean that drive, then create a primary partition.
                                  Then formatted to Fat32 and was good to go.
