WiFi stopped working
-
I'm on my 3rd Duet2 wifi, they have all had problems. The wifi suddenly stopped working on this one after a year or so. The wifi lights that normally flicker on at start up no longer come on at all. I've removed the memory card and reinserted it. How can i troubleshoot it? Thx in advance.

@brian connect via USB, get a M122 report, and post it (as text, not image, ideally). Post your config.g, too.

@droftarts Thanks for the advices. While waiting for a usb extension cable, i decided to check the sd card, and found all the files in the sys directory are gone. Fortunately i have an old sd card with working files on it. Inserted it into the duet and wholla, it works! I suppose the config is out dated but i will be able to update it over time. i dont know how the files were deleted, except i did delete gcode file and somehow the sys went too, i guess?

@brian SD cards can and will age and die. It's best practice to keep backups in a safe place. Buy branded high speed SD cards and always have one spare more than you think you need.

@brian It's possible you deleted it accidentally, or the SD card is failing.
I'd see if you can recover the files from the SD card. There was a thread about that recently, with a recommendation for software to try: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/340947
