Duet2 wifi Not connecting
-
Yes that's right, when you're connected to the Duet network you wouldn't be able to get to the internet.
But when you're connected to the duet network you can try accessing the web interface of the duet by going to the IP address 192.168.1.1 in your browser. If that works, then that means the duet wifi is working correctly.
If the Duet can't connect to your router, I'm not sure why that would be. The network needs to be 2.4Ghz because 5.0Ghz won't work for the Duet. If your router has the same SSID for both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks it may help to separate them out into different names. Though the 2G at the end of your SSID makes me think that may already be the case.

I am thinking the security from spectrum is keeping me from connecting the way it normally does
-
The duet supports WPA2 only.
-
I have 2 separate names for the 2 and 5 and I am on 2
-
I do understand what you are saying but stumped on why the connection isn't working

@dc42 Ok, so I did a test and made a dummy wifi account or link and was able to connect my board to the dummy wifi, which the wifi light stayed solid but it disconnected my internet. I connected to my internet and the light stayed solid blue but I could not get an IP address to pop up. I even typed in the wifi IP address to see if the DWC would pop up but it didn't. I am thinking there is a disconnect because of the providers security or mine.

Yes it sounds like a problem with the providers router settings. It has occasionally been reported before with ISP provided routers. You might be able to contact the ISP and explain the situation and maybe they can guide you on what to change, so some people have added a small cheap wifi extender as an access point for the printer.

I noticed in the feed back from the board that it says talnet disabled. what does that mean

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet
telnet is protocol used to get command line access to a system over a network. Not really relevant here.

ok so I just talked to the service provider and there are no security that would prevent the board from connecting. The only other thing I can think is that I need to use macro to enter the SSID and password. I'm not sure what I gotta do to do that
-
Put the SD card in your computer
Use a text editor to create a file
Enter the command M587 S"NETWORKNAME" P"PASSWORD" into the file with your network name and password.
Save the file as addwifi and save it to the macros folder on the SD card.
Put the card back in the duet and power it on by connecting to usb
Use YAT to send the command M98 Paddwifi
That will run the macro and try adding your ssid and password
The send m552 S1 and see if it connects.Just because they say there is no security stopping it doesn't mean that it will work. There could be other technical reasons preventing it that were just not aware of.

not sure how to get to text editor.
