Hm, that’s not very specific. Anything can go wrong… – Have you followed this guide?

I try several times and I get the following error after “screen /dev/tty.usbmodem14101 115200”
Warning: Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at fulwifi reported error: no known network found
wifi module is idle
Any ideas?

Does M587 report the correct wifi network is setup?

Send M552 S0 then try M587 again.

@dc42
thanks!! was working.
now I´m stock after entry password, I think the problem is the Macpronterface.
any way thanks a lot for your help

Pronterface will change all commands to capital letters, which could be messing up your SSID password.

Best way to add an SSID is to put the commands into a macro file named ADDSSID.g on the SD card, and then send M98 Paddssid.g to run it.

@Phaedrux hi,
sorry could you please explain me a bit deeper? I don't have experience with macros, and I'm still stock!!

Here are 3 options:

Is there a terminal emulator on your Mac? if so, use that instead of Pronterface.
Use Pronterface, but for every lowercase character in your SSID and password in the M587 command, prefix that character with a single quote character. This will undo the conversion to uppercase that Pronterface performs.
Move the SD card to a PC, then in the /gcodes folder create a file called SetNetwork.g. In that file, put the M587 command that you want to send. Save it, safely eject it, put it back in the Duet and restart the Duet. Then run M98 P"SetNetwork.g" from Pronterface.

Let me know if the description of how to proceed from DC42 isn't enough and I can provide an example macro that you can fill in your SSID and password and use to add the network.
