Duete Wifi Connection Issues
-
Hello all,
So I've had my Duet Wifi up and running for well over a year and it has been pretty well rock solid. Just today, I noticed that I couldn't connect to the Web Server via Chrome as I normally do so I started poking around.
I noticed it was having a hard time connecting to my router as M552 S1 would often timeout or return "Failed while trying to connect to SSID". I tried sending M552 S0, then M588 S"*", M587 with my SSD info and it would connect (sometimes) but trying to ping it from my PC (connected to the router via Ethernet) returned oddities such as this:
Pinging 192.168.50.50 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Request timed out.I thought it might be an IP conflict (I changed my router a month ago but had no issues then) so I assigned the Duet a Static IP from my Router's config page (via the Duet's actual MAC, not a spoofed one). The Duet seems to think it can connect to it and reports an RSSI of between -45 and -49dB as well as my newly set IP address.
However, I am still getting ping results like the one posted above and cannot functionally access the Web UI. It will occasionally begin loading the Web UI only to fail. More often than not, it simply will not connect to the router at all.
I have just tried updating the WifiServer to 1.21 to no avail.
Please help as I can't use my printer at all anymore...
Thank you
EDIT: Here is my M122 while connected as well as my latest ping result:

After re-reading another thread I tried to make some changes in my config.g including changing my machine name as well as clearing my browser cache to no avail...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Have you seen this? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/WiFi_disconnections_and_AJAX_timeout_errors

I have gone through that Troubleshooter. The one thing I haven't done is put the Duet in AP mode so I'll try that and report back.

Just to provide an update here:
It turns out the problem was wit h my router, an Asus RT AC86U. The 2.4GHz band is garbage. I am exchanging it tomorrow and will report back with the results.
PS. The Duet worked perfectly in AP mode

Thanks for the update! Someone else reported having problems with an ASUS router. OTOH my ASUS DSL-AC68U works well with my Duet WiFis.
