HELP! Can't log in to both machinesWIFI passwords!?
-
Hi,
Bit of an emergency.
My laptop completely crapped out and now the wifi is asking me for passwords to both my 3dprinters...I don't have them!
How do I sort this ASAP please?
Where do I find the password?
Am in a hurry to print a piece for a show so this is very bad timing!

In my Duet 2 Wifi I can see/change my password in folder sys/config.g
-
@visionary I currently can't connect at all.
Last time YAT failed and putty is playing up!
I have a copy of my congig.g file open and there is no password line!

From Duet documentation:
If you are completely unable to connect, you can remove the SD card and edit the config.g files so that the network setup commands are run at startup -
@visionary I have opened the SD card and found config.g in the folder and edited in notepad...but how do i save as a G file?
-
Open it directly by clicking the file that is already in g-filetype and choose some text editor (that your PC asks) and use regular save to save it with the filetype the file already has.
-
@visionary that seems to be a dot g filename?
Am not getting that option.
-
Bit of a disaster and I have one more piece to print!
AFAIK I have never had passwords on fusedeep or my point6 machine/M2
After laptop trouble, the laptop started to ask for passwords, I don't have any.
I have directly edited the sd card to add a password, but this is now simply not working.
Currently all my machines are out of action!'
I knew relying on wifi was a bad idea...
What the heck has happened?
-
Try opening some text editor and open the file from it. Then save the file after changes.

Do you get access to your WiFi at all, or has your laptop "forgotten" its own WiFi password?
-
I managed to get my phone hotspot sorted by finding the phone key.
Neither of my duets even have a password. I am panicking/annoyed. I have wasted 2 hrs on this today and have a show to be ready for...
The laptop never usually asks for anyhting and just connects. I have no passwords set up in the config file. What is duet netwrok security key?
-
@infiniteloop wifi uttely disappeared on laptop, no icons or anything. I deleted wifi devices and restarted machine. now it is asking for keys.
-
@infiniteloop I use my android phone hotspot in studio, this is now working fine. but I have no security keys, afaik, for either duet set up!
-
@infiniteloop I use adhoc wifi to duets but the laptop seems to be trying to get the key for a central router.'
There isn't one!
-
@fusedeep Can you go to a web page, like www.google.com? Are you sure the laptop is logged in to the WiFi?
-
@stephen6309 positive. am using my phone hotspot now to respond and internet works. but for adhoc to duets it wants a network key. there isn't one...

Normally: none. @Visionary told you how to set/change the PW in config.g on your SD card. He's right - I just advise you to put the following lines into your config (if they are missing):
M551 P"reprap" M552 S1 ; Turn network on Setting the password (with
M551) to "reprap" tells the Duet not to ask for a password at all.If you've done this, you can be sure that any requests for a password originate from another source - router or laptop.
-
@stephen6309 I don't think it is this.
It was all fine, for months until my laptop wifi crashed out.
Now it is asking for a network key for my duets. they don't afaik have one!
It is a genuine pita.
-
@infiniteloop I did exactly this and it made no difference. I put a new PASSWORD via and sd card reader and notepad edit and it would not connect.
The laptop is asking for a SECURITY NETWORK KEY
This is incorrect,
This is a laptop /adhoc issue and not duet as such.
Though my android phone won;t connect either, but i also never tried that before.
