@droftarts Could'nt get to general settings until I replaced the www folder, but as you can see everything is OK so your assessment was correct first time, thank again.

@jens55 Thanks for that Jens, I decided that Duet3 would be the best option and so I think I will go ahead and get one ( after all it is cheaper than joining the golf club! ) and when this machine is up and running again I will probably get this board checked out/repaired properly and use it on one of my other machines which are all running on BTT 1.4 turbo boards.

I am currently struggling with a rebuild of an all metal delta machine using a Duet2 WiFi board. I've come to the conclusion that the board is faulty and so would welcome advise on where to buy a new board, and indeed if you think that this is the best solution i.e do you think that a duet3 is a better buy for example. The board I have at the moment was given to me following the death of a friend and so I know nothing about the board other that it was not in use when my friend died. suffice to say that I struggled a bit when I first installed the board but with the help of this forum got it up and running superbly until about 2 weeks ago when I started the machine and homed it but all I got was a lot of screaching and an emergency stop. DWC reported no signal on A circuit on drives 0,1,2. Since then I have replaced everything I could replace ( wiring, plugs etc) all to no avail, so have come to the conclusion that there is a fault with the board and since this is my favourite machine I think a new board is the best solution.

@droftarts Thanks for the information, thats a big step forward, I now have DWC on a browser. Now I can get on with upgrading the Duet and then I have to change all the plugs on the printer,a fair bit of work to do. Having said that, there is a problem with the web control is that when it starts I get a message to say that it failed to connect because of an incompatible firmware version,but it does not indicate which firmware, but I am not worried about this until I have upgraded the board. So once again thanks very much for all the help I have received to get this up and running.

@Phaedrux Yes it does, in fact it provides 2 circuits ie: the main circuit of 2.4 Mhz and 5Mhz , and a guest circuit of both 2.4 and 5Mhz. I have tried 2 desktops (wired) 1 desktop (WiFi) and 2 tablets (WiFi) all with the same results. The Duet gives 1 flash and then a solid blue led on start and switches the WiFi off when issuing M552 S-1. The only thing that seems a bit odd to me is that once switched off the WiFi will not switch on again unless I disconnect and reconnect the power.

@Phaedrux I probably am not explaining properly, I understand that I need to connect to the access point, but that is where the trouble starts. Not having used an access point before I am working in the dark to some degree. When I had the printer set up (using the SKR V1.4Turbo board) I typed the IP address into the browser and DWC popped up and everything worked just fine, so I assume that I do the same for an access point, but in fact nothing happens apart from after a while I get the message that the command had timed out. This is why I am wondering if there may be something missing from the sd card,

@Phaedrux Apologies for the delay with reply, Vodafone still insist that the router is all good although I cannot connect anything with WPS so waiting for engineer visit. I have now managed to get the following on Cutecom- WiFi module is providing access point xxxxxxxxx44, IP address 192.168.5.30. the led is solid on the wifi unit, but I can't get any further, entering the IP address into a tablet connected to the network results in a connection timeout message, so I'm thinking that maybe there is a missing or wrong file on the sd card. Is it possible to give me a list of files that should be on the card for it to work properly.

@Phaedrux Success (sort of) I think an eye test is due because I completely missed the M552 S2 instruction. Now the board shows the WiFi connected as does cutecom, but I still cannot connect to web control and the connection does not show up on the router manager, so I need to get in touch with Vodafone again.hopefully it is something that I am overlooking because I have never used the Guest channel on the router

@lexia I forgot to add that when the board is switched on the led on the wifi unit flashes once

@Phaedrux ! The SSID and password you see are vodafone make up, they are changed when the problem is solved
