Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Any ideas? This is what I get with tera Term. it connected to the wireless without issue and then disconnected.
Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
How far are you from router?
Were you able to try with another router too?

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Not able to connect with another router either. Now the issue is i downgraded the firmware to 4.0 but something happened and i can no longer communicate with Teraterm or the GUI wifi setup. Read online that I need to "toggle GPIO9" to reset the module.. I kinda get it... but not 100% sure
Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
There is a pin hole on the side of the unit.
Use a paper clip to push the button through the hole. That is connected to the GPIO that is used for factory reset.

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
OK. tried that. Still not connecting. Do I need to hold it in for any period of time? I ready it is supposed to be toggled 5x. I am assuming push it 5x??
Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
If I'm not mistaken. it is 8 or 10 times. I can't remember.
But I think you need to hold it pressed when you power it up.
I need to read the datasheet/manual for the chip to recall how to do it.
Have tera term opened when you connect to the USB-TTL cable and you will see the status of what is going on.

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
You are correct. 5 times.
Here is the instructions on the manual:
Here is the instructions on the manual:
Set GPIO9 high on power up to arm the factory reset function. Then
toggle GPIO9 five (5) times, which restores the configuration to the factory reset.
GPIO9 is sampled at about 1 Hz; therefore, if you are using a CPU to generate the
signal, make sure that GPIO9 transitions (high to low or low to high) are at least 1
second long.

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
You sir are the MAN!! worked like a charm. Holding it down and then toggling it 8 times. (might have been 10) but what ever. Back to firmware 1.06
what firmware do you recommend I use?

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Use the latest.
Update with command ftp u.
You must be connected to wifi though.
So, this is the minimal for the update.
Connect at 9600 baud. Factory reset brings it back to 9600 baud.
This should update firmware to latest version.

set w s WIFI_SSID
set w p WIFI_PWD
save

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
so I connected another router to my Verizon router. I gave it an IP address of 192.168.1.2. I have it plugged into a network port and NOT the Wan port. I can access the admin page (192.168.1.2) from any PC on my network. I disabled DHCP. I have the SSID a different name than my Actiontec router.
I can easily connect to the new wifi network. it is using Mixed WPA1 & WPA2 with AES and TKIP encryption. Green flashy light!!!!!
40 seconds later... WHAM, back to blue and green lights. WTF!
disconnect the cable and plug it back in, and right back connected. then terminates a little while later.

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
So, here is another thing I'd like to know.
Disconnect this router from your verizon router.
Enable DHCP.
Change encryption to WPA2 with AES encryption instead of mixed.
You should have two separate wifi networks now. One with verizon and one with the new router.
Both independent of each other.
Connect wifi attachment to new router.
Does it loose connection too?

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Well, before I do that, I finally got it to stay connected. I changed the encryption from AES and TKIP to just AES. For not, it is stable. Fingers (and toes) crossed!

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Been up and running issue free since I added the additional router. Looks like the verizon router was the culprit after all.
Case closed.

Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
Case reopened? LOL it dropped offline last night again. Where do I turn now?
Re: Have to reset WIFI every Night
I think the answer is not telling us it's working lol Maybe now that you've got the encryption good and the router is ruled out, to try the firmware update again?
