Can't connect to wifi after firmware update
-
Hello. I'm new owner of duet wifi and also was experiencing problems with connecting. My wifiserver version 1.20 (also I had problems with preinstalled 1.19). In the beginning it connected but I've had numerous connection losts and AJAX webcontrol errors. So I've tried updating it to 1.20 version. It worked some time but after that it stopped connecting at all. Changing channels (btw in my flat it's totally useless because ALL 2.4ghz channels are overloaded, so I mainly use 5ghz wifi for my devices), wifi modes, I've tried everything - even using dedicated asus rt-n66u router solely for duet, but it wasn't any help.
And when I was totally frustrated I've tried to connect to my neighbour's open (no password) DIR-320 router (d-link I presume).
And it connected with no problems! Webcontrol was loading just instant, no AJAX errors at all.
So today I want to try creating AP with no password on my routers and see how it goes with duet. (Also want to try static IP address).upd:
- static address - nope, it didn't help. It connected and got IP but I couldn't open webcontrol, it starts loading but very slow.
- Created AP with no password - connected with no problems.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that enabling/disabling WPA2 could make a difference. Have you tried DuetWiFiserver 1.20+1 yet? It's at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/EdgeRelease/DuetWiFiServer.bin (follow the link, then press Download).

So although I thought reverting to 1.20 duetwifiserver resolved the issue I am still getting DWC disconnects, just far less often now.

I have had a lot of the same issues using the v1.20+1 I used to get the odd issue with v1.20 but no where near as much as v1.20+1 I will revert back to v1.20 for now

Sorry no help. I'm still using with AP without password (set my AP to use MAC address filters because of security). Sometimes I experience rare disconnects.
AP with WPA2 password just don't work in my case. Firmware now - 1.21RC0 and 1.20+1 wifi. -
Just reporting back that after updating my network gear to Ubiquiti Unifi kit everything is working properly again.

Brian, what make/model of router were you using before when you had the disconnections?

David just for info My Wifi wont connect at all to my Netgeear D6400 router but works to the cheap TP-Link travel router think it is a TL-720N or whatever I am due to change provider next week so will see what there Router is like I will report Back later.

I'm getting the same error now, since replacing my power supply. When I turn the Duet on, it either reports no wifi networks, or that it "failed while trying to connect" to the one it previously used without issue.
So back to troubleshooting!

Not too sure if it's relevant, but I'm getting reset buffer blocks via the COM port now. Not sure if that was happening previously.
Firmware version 2.02beta1(RT0S) - date 2018-08-12b5
Duet Wifi 1.02 or laterUsing M588 S"*" to forgot the existing network, allowed me to use M587 S"network" P"password" to connect (M552 S1) to a new network. I'll check now if I can still connect to the old one.
Final edit; problem solved by deleting the network and reconnecting. No idea why.
