Issues starting AP Mode

sneakyferret

Hi. I have a Duet2 wifi I would like to run in AP mode. When I connect via USB, delete its known networks, swap it to AP mode and assign it an IP to use it will not hold these settings when I try to start up printer. It always reverts back to my old wifi network and seems to always remember it even when I clear the known networks. Suggestions? Can post any configs you need. Firmware installed is currently the latest stable, 3.4.6.

Share your config.g, perhaps you have M552 S1 in there which is starting it up in client mode.

How exactly are you telling it to delete it's known networks?

What commands are you using to setup access point mode?

I see there is M552 S1 in my config, silly me. Mainly, what I was doing was accessing the printer through USB to give it the command
M588 S"*" (to delete all known networks)
then using
M552 S0 (networking idle mode)
M589 S"TallBoyPrinter" P"Kaoken123" I192.168.10.1 (To set it to AP mode and assign it a static IP)
then
M552 S2 (to set it as access point)
I will then disconnect USB and power the printer
But, like you showed me, I think that was all for nothing since the other M552 command is in config. Do I just need to set M552 S2 in my config instead?

@Phaedrux Actually that article you listed very well may be the correction I need. I will make these adjustments and see if it sticks. Thanks!

yes, exactly.
