WiFi Setup problem

We need to establish whether your newer Duet is faulty, or the newer firmware is incompatible with your router. So you can either try the latest firmware on your older Duet, or the older firmware on the new Duet.

Both duets were bought at the same time and I think they are both identical regards hardware.
However later tomorrow I will try to make some tests and maybe clean flash of latest official software.

Ok, it was just accidental conection (1 time) and after restart not working again
...

So are both boards running latest firmware now, but only one of them connecting?

Alishkus

Yes.
Have tried all firmwares from 1.19 to now....

dc42

If both boards are running the same firmware including the same version of DuetWiFiserver, but only one of them connects, please ask for the second board to be replaced or its WiFi module replaced. You can send M122 and look in the network section of the report to check which version of DuetWiFiServer is installed.

Just got from business trip and back to printers.

Whatever firmware I would be using I cant connect to network that other printer is connected.

BUT, I made a hotspot from phone and VUALIA. Works like a charm.
How to solve this problem, or its unsolvable?

dc42

Do both Duets succeed in connecting to your router, i.e. the blue LED flashes and then goes solid?

Please confirm that you did not specify a fixed IP address in your M587 commands, or if you did then you used a different IP address for each Duet.

Alishkus

Connecting to phone hotspot:
Board 1 - OK
Board 2 - Ok

Connecting to normal wifi router:
Board 1 - OK
Board 2 - NOT OK. Times out while connecting.

I did not specify fixed IP. I setup up both boards same way by using ssid and pasword

@alishkus said in WiFi Setup problem:

Board 2 - NOT OK. Times out while connecting.

If you connect YAT or another terminal emulator on a PC via USB (or use PanelDue if you have one), and send M552 S1 to try to connect board 2 to your router, what is the exact message that it returns when it gives up?
Perhaps the wifi signal at board 2 is too weak. Are boards 1 and 2 equally close to the router? Is board 2 mounted in a position (e.g. inside a metal-framed printer) such that the wifi signal will be attenuated? Will board 2 connect if you position it very close to the router?
