WiFi help please

The Duet should connect to the strongest known network that it finds. Are you certain that you have entered the details of the SHOP2 network correctly using M587? Send M587 without parameters to get the list of known networks.
As @Red-Sand-Robot says, you can tell the Duet to forget the SHOP network if that helps; but it should connect to SHOP2 anyway if it is stronger and you have entered the SSID correctly.

@dc42 @Red-Sand-Robot
THANK YOU!
Had to enter lower case pword letters with preceding single quote. That got Duet connected to SHOP2.
But I tried everything and cannot get SHOP off the remembered list. That's OK though, as long as Duet connects to SHOP2. -
@danl if you enter
M588 S"*", it should delete all known networks, then only add shop2 and you should be good to go. -
@whosrdaddy
Hmmm...will give that a shot. Thank you. -
@danl, M588 S"SHOP" should be all you need to send, if the original access point is called exactly SHOP.
-
@dc42
Right. I entered exactly M588 S"SHOP" using YAT, to no effect.
I want to keep DANL2.4 and SHOP2.This is how SHOP is reported from M588:
Remembered networks:<LF>T********** IP=xxx.xxx.x.xx GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0<LF>DANL2.4 IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0<LF>SHOP IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0<LF>SHOP2 IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0<LF>ok<LF>All is working fine now on SHOP2. Pesky SHOP......
Thank you. -
Are you using DuetWiFiServer version 1.23? If so then I'll re-test this.
You will get clearer responses in YAT if you go into Settings -> Text Settings and change the line ending to LF only.

@dc42
Using 1.21
Should I go to 1.23? ...this is all foreign to me... -

@dc42 said in WiFi help please:
DuetWiFiServer version 1.23
Geez....feeling stupid......I searched and find PanelDue v 1.23, but cant for the life of me find DuetWiFiServer version 1.23.
Is it this? Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin -
You can find it here: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/2.02
-
Though you should be able to upload the entire zip file to the DWC settings page and it will update everything as needed.

Duet2Combined or DuetWiFiServer?
DanL

BTW, Thanks for the fast response.

Duet2Combined or DuetWiFiServer?
Both are available at the first link.
But you can just download the zip file from the second link and upload that to get everything at once.
-
@phaedrux
Yep...just before your response the lightbulb went on. I was trying to upload the unzipped folder. In retrospect, this stuff seems straightforward, but the first time through is a bear.
Loaded the full zipped folder and it loaded fine.
Are differences summarized somewhere please?
Again, the support you provide is awesome. Thank you and the other "first responders". -
@danl said in WiFi help please:

Yes there's a what's new link in the description of that first link.

@phaedrux @dc42 @Red-Sand-Robot
Got through loading 1.23 and the M588 worked first try.
Thanks for all the help....and patience...ha.
Feel like I'm still in 3D printing kindergarten, but amazed how good the DuetWiFi is. That old chinese board, drivers and Marlin were driving me crazy.Just bought a second printer - another disowned, unloved, pre-assembled FT5. This kit does build into a good printer with some TLC. Some mechanical and electrical upgrades and it should be great....but only with another Duet and PDue.
So...should I get another DuetWF now, or is a newer version maybe coming sometime soon? -
@danl I think the duet 3 would be overkill for an ft5. The duet 2 boards aren't being replaced either they are still sticking around. The 3 is just another tier above that for people who need more.

Thank you.
