Cannot connect Duet Wifi to new Wifi Router

@GaRv3 Please do try @bearer 's suggestion of setting a static ip address, too.

Already tried that. And I reserved the IP on the router as well to make sure it is free.

droftarts

@GaRv3 Okay, fair enough. I've asked @dc42 to take a look.

I had the exact same issue as this a couple of years ago eventually had to use a TP-LINK Travel router in AP Mode for the duet to connect to the issue was a Router that just didn't like the ESP at all (it was a nether one as well) once I replaced the router everything came back to normal.

@Dougal1957
Did you replace the router with the sam model (so, was it defect) or did you pick another one?

GaRv3

So for now (until the wifi module arrives) I have connected an AP which I found in a closet to the second LAN port of my PC, created a wireless network and connected the Duet. Works just fine... as a temporary workaround.

@GaRv3 Glad you have a (temporary) solution!

@GaRv3 picked a different one I have just ordered a new connection with Vodafone UK so hope I don't have the same issue again (My current VF router is fine but the new line will come with the newer square ash router but in the UK I think they tend to use HuaWei stuff (Not that I am happy about but got no real choice))

GaRv3

@dc42 Any suggestions?

@GaRv3 @dc42 said to me yesterday “yes, possible bug. It's on my list to do a new wifi server using the newer expressiv SDK, but it's not a quick job.”

Okay, thanks for the info!

@GaRv3 I got the same Problem but here is my option to deal with it part time

Hooked up my old D-Link Wifi router between the Vodafon router and my PC. It slows down my connection a bit, but the Duet is connecting without any problems to the D-Link instead of the Vodafon Router.

Works fine for me at the Moment

GaRv3

@Warstone Yes, I did something similar. See this post.
But having the access point hooked up is just a workaround. Not a solution to the problem.

Hello i have a "same" prob.
I have updated my router and now I cannot use my DuetWiFi
My router settings only have WPA, WPA \ WPA2, WPA2 \ WPA3

But I suppose that I do not have TKIP support

And when I try to connect, nothing comes out
Although in the clients on the router I see Duet attempts to connect

@i0n1zeD sounds like a bad password attempt.

I suggest starting a new thread. Link to this one of you feel is relevant.
