@droftarts Is there anything else I should try?

@droftarts The duet has its antenna as part of the board. The router is probably 15 feet away, but on the floor above (so diagonally from the printer).

I tried switching it to both channel 6 and channel 11, but I am still getting the "Authentication failed" error.

My cordless phone is pretty close, so I tried unplugging it, but still nothing.
I also tried adjusting the antennae on my router; it improved my RSSI from -56 dBm to -51 dBm. That didn't seem to help either. But maybe that is still not strong enough?

@droftarts

Thanks for all your continued help! I really appreciate it. Yep, it is set to the standard WPA2-PSK; I triple-checked it. Could encryption type have anything to do with it? I see options for either TKIP or AES. I don't really know what they mean, but at this point I'm just trying anything that might work haha.

@Phaedrux
That's what it seemed like to me too; that's why I created a special guest network that only runs on 2.4 GHz and has a simple password that is impossible to mess up

@droftarts

Thanks so much for this! I'm definitely getting fewer error messages now. It still won't connect to my wifi though; I am now getting this message:

READ: Error: WiFi module reported: Authentication failed

@Phaedrux It worked! I was able to control the printer using DWC. Does that indicate that the issue could be my wifi? Is there anything else you know of that I could check?

@droftarts

Hi! Yep, here it is (I have my actual SSID and password in place of "SSID" and "password"):
M552 S-1 ; turn off wifi
G4 S2 ; wait for wifi state to change
M552 S0 ; turn on wifi in idle mode
G4 S2 ; wait for wifi state to change
M588 S"*" ; if necessary, delete all existing saved SSIDs
G4 S2 ; wait for wifi state to change
M587 S"SSID" P"password" ; add new SSID
G4 S2 ; wait for wifi state to change
M552 S1 ; enable networking

I ran M587 again and it is saying
READ: LAB IP=0.0.0.0 GW=0.0.0.0 NM=0.0.0.0

Also it is now saying this:
READ: Error: WiFi module reported: Didn't find access point while trying to connect to LAB

I created the SSID called LAB specifically to only run on 2.4 GHz, so I'm sure it's not trying to connect to 5 GHz

@droftarts

Thanks for this! Yep, Simplify3D has it! I use it with an identical printer at work and it seems to do great. Just in case though, I created the runonce.g file as you said and put it in the /sys folder. Unfortunately, I am still getting the following:
READ: Error: WiFi module reported: no known networks found
READ: WiFi module is idle

@Phaedrux

Thanks for your reply!
I'm using Simplify3D over USB.

Here are the responses to the following commands (I changed mentions of my SSID to "SSID"):
M552:
READ: WiFi module is idle
M552 S-1:
READ: WiFi module stopped
M552 S0:
Usually says: READ: WiFi module is idle
Right after M552 S-1 it says: READ: WiFi module started
M552 S1
READ: Error: WiFi module reported: Failed while trying to connect to SSID
M587
READ: Remembered networks:

And here is the response to M122:

I am setting up my duet for the first time (haven't even powered on the printer yet) and it will not connect to my wifi; it gives this error:

READ: Error: WiFi module reported: Failed while trying to connect to SSID

I have tried the following:
Adjusting my router antennas to make the signal stronger (currently the RSSI = ~50)
Setting a special guest network on my wifi to ensure that the printer is only trying to connect to a 2.4 GHz network
Setting the SSID and password to different values of varying simplicity (so I know that I am definitely typing them in correctly)
Erasing the remembered network via the M588 command then resetting it with M587
Typing in M122; when I did that the response to "Reset reason" said "Power up". Duet's troubleshooting page suggested I post to this forum if it said anything besides "Turned on by main processor", so here I am

Also, the wifi module on the actual circuit board doesn't ever blink blue; it only blinks a greenish yellow. But I'm not sure if this version just uses this color instead of blue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
