The Configuration for the Wifi is not stored in config.g but in the wifi chip.

You will need to do the following:

a) connect to the printer via serial console
b) Set a new password for the access point mode using M589
c) save the new password somewhere safe for reference
d) enable the access point mode using M552 S2
e) use the password set using M589 when your computer prompts you for a network security key

Let us know how this works out.

@fusedeep you are running M552 S2 on both machines at the end of config.g. This puts both machines in ‘accesss point’ mode, so the laptop connects directly to the WiFi of each machine. At some point you will have set this up with M589. In that command you specify the SSID (the name of the network) and a password. It is this password that your laptop appears to have forgotten. If you didn’t write the password down, you need to connect via USB, and send M589 with SSID and password to set up the Duet access point. You can also do this by writing the commands into a macro called runonce.g, which will run and then delete itself at startup (so make a copy in case it doesn’t work). See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Networking#configuring-duet-in-wifi-access-point-mode

The commands in a macro would be:

M552 S0 ; sets WiFi to idle
G4 S5 ; wait 5 seconds for WiFi to turn off
 M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1
G4 S5 ; wait again
M552 S2 ; enable access point

Hi, thanks for the information.

Can i do this directly in the sd card edit?

Yat is borked and putty playing up (I am not an IT expert either, consoles freak me out when they don't work).

I have 2 duet running. Should the ssid label for each be different, Yes, only use ad hoc.

My gut feeling is this has nothing to do with M589 etc.

It never had one and my android phone won't connect with the M589 password either.

It's something else imo.

Yes. Create a text file with the Gcode commands I listed earlier. Save it on your local machine as "runonce.g". Copy it to the SD card from one of the printers, in the "sys" folder. Return SD card to machine, turn on machine, give it a minute, then try and connect.

Do one at a time, giving them different SSID names and IP addresses (I think, from memory, you gave them both the same IP address before; this could be where it's got confused). The password can be the same for both, though.

FYI: File runonce.g is supported from RRF3.1.0 and later. If this file is present at startup, it is run after running config.g and activating the network, and then deleted. So I hope you're not on RRF 2.x!

But, I have put the M859 code line directly and nothing will connect using that pasword.

What is the difference using a one time widget?

@fusedeep You need to turn off the Access Point (with M552 S0), change the SSID/password (with M587), then turn it back on again. The macro does this for you.

If you're able to do this with a serial terminal (putty/YAT), you don't need to use a macro.

Save the file as a .txt file, then edit the name and replace '.txt' with '.g'.

I have added;

M589 S"DuetSSID" P"password" I192.168.0.1

To my point 6 (with my password) and it won't accept the password.

Nor will my phone.

Or my other laptop.

They keep asking for NETWORK SECURITY KEYS, I don't think this is anything to do with gcode passwords and a fundamental password deep in duet that is either borked or I forgot.

It's a real problem people.

I was nervous about going wifi, and this is exactly why...

Please post the text files you moved to your Duets as "runonce.g"

There is none.

I dropped this into macros folder as a g file extension

It does not work.

put it into your /sys/ folder and try again.

Edit: To verify that the macro "runounce.g" was executed, take a second look at the /sys/ directory: the file must have vanished.

droftarts

All fixed now! The WiFi passwords had been lost due to a laptop borking and being rebuilt, so the Duets needed resetting with M589 (there's no way to recover the WiFi password). However, one undocumented 'feature' - WiFi passwords need to be at least 8 characters long. So the runonce.g wasn't working. Once @FuseDeep connected via YAT (which wasn't working on the original laptop, had to use another laptop), he could see the error message, and set a correct SSID and password.

I'll update the M589 documentation to reflect this.

@droftarts

Yes, exactly as Ian said.

Thank you so much everyone above for your constructive suggestions and comments.

I have now stopped sobbing into my keyboard!

And written the password clearly on each machine.

PS.

In modern windows you have to enable view file extension in folder settings too!

In the old days you could simply edit, but they are trying to tidy up, apparently...

Really, that’s it. Microsoft may think it makes for less confusion, but the reverse is true.

//

It’s pretty clear by now that Microsoft is unlikely to see the light and display file extensions by default in any version of Windows. That doesn’t matter because you can take charge of the situation yourself and turn extension display on:

Open any folder window.
Press Alt+T+O (that’s the letter O, not a zero) to open the Folder Options dialog box.
Click the View tab.
Remove the tick (checkmark) beside ‘Hide extensions for known file types’ and click OK.

Oh, and the first USB cable he used seemed not to carry data! I 'encouraged' him to try another cable, which fortunately worked.

Edit: If you are asked for a 'network security key', this is the password that protects your WiFi network. If you have a Wi-Fi router (or Duet in Access Point mode) in your home, you'll need a code to connect your device to it. That WiFi password is your network security key.
