      I've never see this fault reported before, and your reported signal strength looks reasonable. So I think there must either be some incompatibility between your router and the ESP-12S WiFi module, or the wifi module has an unusual fault. If you wish to ask your supplier to exchange your Duet, I will approve that.

        I bought the board direct. Left over v1.03. Did I make a mistake with the going with the old board, the cost difference is insignificant I sort of feel I made a foolish purchase thinking it was a significant savings.

          There are no differences in the WiFi support between 1.03 and 1.04 apart from some layout changes to reduce EMI.

            That was more of a general question and (mostly) unrelated to the issue.
            What is typical in this situation, did I really mess up by buying this "deal" direct?
            I have to ship the board back to the UK at my expense? (i'm in the US).
            or is that a question for Duet3D.com (or is that you?)

              I'm nit sure if this applies, but I was having trouble connecting my printer to networks other environments other than my home.

              Ultimately, I told my Duet to forget all of the various networks that it thought that it knew, and put in only the 3 that I will personally use.

              It comes factory configured to a wifi network, which I assume is the one that is used for testing (With a static Ip, 192.168.1.14, if memory serves) and it might have more, depending on what you've set up with M587.

              Take a look at the output of M587 with no parameters. I think that it will show you all of the networks that it has stored.

              you can then use M588 to have it forget some of those networks. I'd suggest that you tell it to forget everything except "SpicyNacho" and see if that clears things up.

                @supraguy That's actually one of the steps from the network troubleshooting wiki posted above.

                If unable to connect to your wireless network at boot up, try deleting all saved wifi networks with M588 "*" (That is, using an asterix for the network name), then re-adding it with M587. For example, M587 S"networkname" P"password".

                  The basic network stuff has all been addressed. This is seems to be beyond that.

                      The board has been replaced (incredibly fast) and is in operation.
                      Upgraded from the 1.03 to the current ver (1.04)

                      Out of the box, cabled, with the restored files backed up from the original board
                      I started a terminal session (YAT)
                      M587 (List stored networks)
                      M588 "what ever net name was there" (M588 S"*" didn't work for some reason) (cleared existing stored networks)
                      M587 S"SSID" P"NetPass" (set my network wifi credentials)
                      M552 S1 (launched wifi, obtained IP adsdress)

                      Found device IP and connect to DWC via Chrome

                      Shut power to board waited 10 count reapplied power

                      Same issue as the v1.03 board, no wifi (blue LED flash just after power up and ~1 count)

                      Pressed reset blue LED flash wait ~10 count
                      Pressed reset blue led flash, followed by 2 more then steady

                      I updated board as before, except all in one pass
                      Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin 2.02RC2(RTOS) (2018-09-07b2)
                      WiFi Server Version: 1.21RC4(08b3)
                      Web Interface Version: 1.21-RC4

                      All seems to work as it should!!!

                      I restarted many times and it HAS NOT repeated the behavior.

                      I just finished a 2 hour print and restarted the board both from the power switch and the Emergency Stop button in DWC.

                      So far so good.

                      The wifi (LED) behavior is different compared to the last board

                      I am also getting different print results. i have to print more to know for sure, but a model that I've been having issues with actually printed the best it has since I changed to the DUET. It has some ringing that it didn't have before but overall it's printing better. No setting changes were made. (ringing might be machine related)

                        I'm glad it's working.

                        You are running old RC versions of DuetWiFiServer and Duet Web Control. I suggest you upgrade them to released versions.

                          My mistake, I copied and pasted the wrong information.
                          I should have copied it from the DWC not from the post above.

                          I applied the same updates that were suggested on 10-10 by Phaedrux

                          This is what should be on the DUET
                          Firmware Version: 2.02RC2(RTOS) (2018-09-07b2)
                          WiFi Server Version: 1.21
                          Web Interface Version: 1.22.3

                          I will confirm these values are what is on the DUET later this afternoon.
                          The DWC is definitely not the old version (easy visual thing)
