Cant get my duetwifi to work after new FW.

Crille

Still cant connect and have same problem… It would be nice if maker of FW/card step in and give some hint what to do in this matter..

What it is saying is that when it does a network scan, none of the network SSIDs that it finds matches any of the ones you have configured using M587, You can use M587 to list the known SSIDs. This could be due to any of several causes:

There is no network in the M587 list whose name matches exactly the name that your router is transmitting. Use a smartphone to check that you know the exact name.
The signal from your router is too weak where the Duet's WiFi antenna is located.
Your router is not transmitting its SSID. This is an option in some routers. You can connect to a hidden SSID by specifying it in the S parameter of the M552 command.
Your router is not transmitting on 2.4HGz at all. Most modern routers can transmit on either or both of 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
The WiFi module has developed a fault in the RF section.

One way to check the WiFi module is to configure its own SSID using M589, then start it in access point mode using M552 S2, then see if you can connect to it from a smartphone or tablet. You need to be running main firmware 1.20 and DuetWiFiServer 1.20 for this to work.

Strange i have SSID gixxerturbo on my router and in my phone and laptop and 2 diffrent pads and all working great… Laptop only 2.4ghz , phone i use both 2.4 and 5ghz band no problem, pads 2,4ghz working great.

I have same SSID in M587 list as router sending out.
Signal from router is perfect.
My SSID is not hidden at all have check.
I have ASUS U88 router and i use both 2,4ghz and 5ghz.

Have made own SSID by using M589 and start in access point and phone connect perfect and i have main fw 1.20 and DuetWifiServer is 1.20.

This is realy strange

Need to try to change more in 2,4Ghz in router and see if some happen..

You said the SSID was GixxerTurbo before, now you just said it is gixxerturbo. Which is it? They are not the same.

I did change SSID to lowercase in router and also in config.g on duetwifi so this not will be one issue.

Can encryption be one issue? I use WPA2-Personal.
( 64-bitars WEP, 128-bitars WEP, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPS )

So SSID is gixxerturbo.

WPA2-PSK is the one supported by the WiFi module. However, if it was an encryption issue then I would expect you to get a "Wrong password" error, not a "No known networks found".

You could try sending M552 S1 P"gixxerturbo" instead of just M552 S1. Use YAT to send the command, to make sure that the SSID is sent in the correct case.

Tryed out what you say but still no go.

When i make M587 it say gixxerturbo but when i use M552 SI P"gixxerturbo" diden`t find accesspoint… Realy strange this.

ooouusssccchhhhh.

Made one Guest SSID ( asus ) and you know what!!! Now its working and connected…. Damn cant duetwifi handle long SSID name?.

dc42

It should be able to handle up to 31 characters. My own SSID is 12 characters long, one more than gixxerturbo.

Are you sure you haven't enabled MAC address filtering on your router?

Yes im 1000% sure that i dont have MAC adress filtering on, did one recheck again and its on OFF in router.

Will try to change WPA2-Personal to WPA2-Auto and see if that works ( New asus SSID have WPA2-Auto and working )..

Is DHCP enabled? (I know, it's a stupid question, but it is possible you configured manual IPs for all of your clients up to this point and forgot – I have done this before).

Crille

Yes DHCP is enable..

bot

Sorry, just realized you already checked that.

Would you be open to trying to reset your router to factory settings, then re-configuring your SSID name and password?

I'm guessing you've updated to the latest (asus router) firmware, since Asus routers tend to notify you in the console. Perhaps this caused a configuration mis-match.
