Trouble Connecting Duet 2 Wifi

Purgatorium

I’ve followed all setup procedures at "Getting connected to your Duet | Duet3D Documentation". I can connect and communicate through the USB connection using YAT; however, the M522 S1 always returns an Error: Wifi module reported: no known networks found ...Wifi module idle.

I purchased this new Duet2 wifi from Filastruder. to replace my old one that died recently. I’ve established a 2.4Ghz local and guest network, and used no special characters in the network SSID or password. Both 2.4Ghz networks will not connect to the Duet2 wifi, but will connect with all my other devices

The wifi led on the Duet 2 wifi board does blink green when I first power it up using the USB cable, and again using M552 SO

Filastruder asked that I request help here before I return the board to them.

@Purgatorium Have you sent an M587 ... command to add your WiFi SSID to the list of known networks? If so, try deleting any existing networks with M587 S"*" then send M587 with your network SSID and password again. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet#h-5-connect-duet-to-network

There's no obvious error in the M122 report saying that the WiFi module isn't working, just that it hasn't found anything to connect to. However, you are on the latest WiFi firmware, 2.2.0, while using an older version of RRF, 3.4.4. This should be okay, but we haven't tested backward compatibility of the WiFi firmware with old versions of RRF. I'd suggest updating the mainboard firmware to 3.5.4 https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.5.4
Copy "Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin" to the firmware folder of the SD card, then send M997 to the Duet to update.
This will also allow you to run a WiFi network scan, using M587.1 and M587.2, see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m5871-start-network-scan, which should show if the WiFi module is working.

Setting up the WiFi as an access point is also another way to check the functionality of the WiFi module: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#configuring-duet-in-wifi-access-point-mode

If the WiFi module has an external aerial, make sure it's plugged in properly.

Hello @droftarts, thank you for the input.

I updated from RRF, 3.4.4 to RRF, 3.5.4. I ran removed all my existing networks using the M588 S"" and began reassigning my network connections again using M587 S"Mewning3D_Quest" P"password", followed by M587 "" which returned "Remembered networks: Mewning3D_Quest IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0", but upon entering M552 S1, I got the dreaded "Error: WiFi module reported: no known networks found WiFi module is idle".

So, I then tried the new M587.1 followed by M587.2 commands and got the following:
M587.1

My Network was not listed. so I thought would hiding my SSID from broadcasting prevent the Duet2 wifi board from seeing it?! I turned off hide my SSID and sure enough, it showed up using the M587.1 and M587.2 commands

Iv'e always hid my network connections and it worked fine with my old duet board ...is this a new feature/requirement to no longer hide your SSID?
Anyways, all appears to be working now and I greatly appreciate your assistance. The new M587.1 and M587.2 commands helped me troubleshoot the problem.

Update: Got a new problem now. I am unable to connect to DWC. I unzipped the current DWC updates to "o:/www"

Update: Got connected to DWC. There is a switch in the TP-Link AX3000 router in advance wifi settings for the guest network that was disabled "Allow guests to access your local network" ...the default is off and I switched it on and I'm now able to connect to DWC. Hopefully this will help others that have a similar problem.
