That means your unit is already connect to your router.
Just check the connected devices in your router and you should the wifi attachment as one of them.

Also did a ping test which worked:

I'm still having no luck with the ip - http://192.168.0.11/wifi (IE and Chrome)

Not sure what to do, looking forward to hearing your advice.

Thanks in advance

Cody

Is the cable from the head unit to the wifi attachment looking to be good?
Is it a RA+?

Can you ping the wifi attachment from your computer instead of using the router tools?

What is the ip address on your PC? Are you sure you are in the the same network?

Hey Rimai,

Sorry for the delay, have been quite busy.

Seem to have gotten it working on my phone while I am in my network. Couple of weird things are happening though.

- My router/modem is putting out 2 networks 'Telstra1B6E' and 'Sherray'. Sherray is our old network from 2 modems/routers ago, so not sure why it is still around.

- I setup the module on the 'Sherray' network, hey presto it's working. I can't access it outside of my network but it is accessible on both the 'Telstra1B6E' and the 'Sherray' networks, but only when the wifi module is connected to 'Sherray'.

Anyway, it is working in my network now which is a big step forward. How do I get it working on my phone when I'm out?

Regards
Cody

Sounds like you still have that router in there and you probably have two routers, which is complicating things a bit for you.

Sooo frustrated... I did everything as i was supposed to from research here. i get to the part where i have to make it work with outside of my home network and nothing i see people saying that i should see. Meaning i dont see what people are telling me i should see. but it may be because they didnt explain how to get to that part.

If so, you need to setup port forwarding in your router.

If you are able to access the internal webserver you are all set.
Green light means you are connected to your WiFi network.
It is not supposed to do anything else.

You are already all set. You don't need the wifi sketch. Your wifi attachment is already setup and connected to your network.

You just said you can access it using the public ip.
That is a remote connection.
Maybe you are not explaining or I'm not understanding what you are trying to do.

Hello All,
Forgive me if this has been addressed here, but i am having trouble setting up the WIFI. The RA WiFi attachment is flashing green, but won't connect. I've looked in my router (Ubee) and it has assigned 192.168.0.11 for my RA WiFi, but I believe I have to set up port forwarding in my router. Not exactly sure how to do that. See image below! Thank you!

It depends on your router...

Can you ping the IP address from your desktop (192.168.0.11)?

Can you browse to http://192.168.0.11:2000/wifi in your browser

No, I get 'unable to connect'

Can you browse to http://192.168.0.11:2000/wifi in your browser
I can browse the above, I just get blank parameters and 'connecting' and unknown forum user

Thank you!

Good go into settings and add your controller there. Don't fill in the cloud settings.

If you are seeing the cloud server connection status showing up, you may have entered cloud server settings when setting up your controller.
Delete that profile and create a new one, making sure that you don't enter anything on cloud server settings.
