Duet2 WiFi V1.04 board running 2.03.3 firmware

@lexia The M589 command you are sending seems to be trying to replicate the Vodafone access point name and IP address - don't do this! You are not trying to connect the Duet to the Vodafone router, you are trying to make the Duet it's own WiFi network. Send something like this to the Duet:
M552 S0 M589 S"DuetSSID" P"abcd1234" I192.168.1.1 M552 S2
Then go to your PCs WiFi network chooser, and connect to the WiFi network called "DuetSSID", using the password "abcd1234" (note, this isn't very secure!).
If your PC has a wired connection as well as wireless, you should still be able to connect to the network/internet. If you only have WiFi, you will be cut off from the internet while connected to the Duet.
In either case, go to a browser tab and type the address "192.168.1.1", it should take you to the Duet Web Control page on the Duet.Maybe the image here might help explain: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#configuring-duet-in-wifi-access-point-mode

@droftarts Thanks for the information, thats a big step forward, I now have DWC on a browser. Now I can get on with upgrading the Duet and then I have to change all the plugs on the printer,a fair bit of work to do. Having said that, there is a problem with the web control is that when it starts I get a message to say that it failed to connect because of an incompatible firmware version,but it does not indicate which firmware, but I am not worried about this until I have upgraded the board. So once again thanks very much for all the help I have received to get this up and running.

@lexia Can you post a screenshot of what you see in DWC? Click on the 'Settings > General' menu option to see what version of DWC you are running.
I'd guess you either put a much newer version of DWC on the SD card with the old version of the firmware (2.05.1), or have a new version of the firmware with an old version of DWC. This might make updating via DWC difficult. If you still have firmware 2.05.1 on the Duet, replace the contents of the www folder on the SD card with the contents of this zip file: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/DuetWebControl-SD-2.0.7.zip

@droftarts Could'nt get to general settings until I replaced the www folder, but as you can see everything is OK so your assessment was correct first time, thank again.
