Can you access you controller using your external ip?
Click on the link with your ipaddress in the portal. What do you get?

I can access using the external IP. When I click on the link it give Reef Angel web portal will post a pic.
I notice my wifi is not working today, the wifi module is blinking blue and not green like yesterday. I keeps doing this then I need to setup the wifi module again but it keeps like "resetting" then I need to setup it again... What can be the problem?

If it work when you click that link, then your controller is good to go. It must be some other connection problem between the server and your controller.
Blue blinking means it is disconnected from the router.
Is your router far away?
What security are you using?
Try WPA2-PSK with AES encryption. Other people have had problems with other encryption and other security setting.

The router is 1.5m away from the Wi-Fi module. I'm using WPA2-PSK encryption. The portal updates sometimes, last update was 16 December 2013 22:01:50. Still gets Unreachable Address.
Think I must try to update the Wi-Fi module?

I can only think that it has to be some connection issue between your controller and the server.
As you can see, your controller does send data, but very sporadically.
I was also unable to connect directly to your controller from here and if I can't, the server will not be able to do either.
I can't even ping your ip address from here.
Can you pm me the latest ip address?

@rimai, Just visited Francois, his WiFi module is also not working. He changed over to the Arduino Ethernet, going to get me one too, then hopefully problem solved!

@rimai, The portal updated today again, but still gives Unreachable Address! I don't know how I did it but the Android App is now working on Away mode with my cellphone network, where it preciously only worked on my WiFi when I connect to my local WiFi hot spot, so I'm making slow progress!! I must say I'm very impressed with your new agent in South Africa! You will not get better!!! Vernon is going out off his way to help everyone and is going the extra mile!!!
Here is the thread for the local forum in SA.

It has to be a routing problem when the traffic reaches SA.
Here is a tracert of the packet from here to your RA:

Trace complete.
The packets start to get dropped when they reach SA, especially when it gets to your router.
I've seen this happening once in the past and it was related to 3G router connection.
The person was in Thailand, not SA though, but I think it is the same problem.
I think in his case, he confirmed the connection problem when he took his RA to someone's house and used a different internet provider and things started working.

Packet loss could be the isp shaping your line. Common practice in sa. I have noticed the internet very sliw the last few days.

Roberto, I think there is a problem with my WiFi Module.
If I ping the mode I get time outs

I don't get any packing lost when pinging other devices on my WiFi network... its only the WiFi model...?
I updated the WiFi module too but it still does the same...
Attached is the tera term macro file I use to update and program the chips.
To execute, open tera term and go to menu Control->Macro
Or manually, try these commands:
set ftp address 198.175.253.161
set dns name
www.reefangel.com
ftp u
save
reboot
Connect again and use this:
set w j 1
set i r 80
set i f 0x06
set s t 0x10
set u m 2
set i p 2
set c s 1420
save
reboot

Your picture links are all broken. The packetloss described was between you and your isp, not on your internal network.

The images are from another forum and they only work if you are logged in to mysaltyforum.com
If you can't ping your module than the ip may have changed...is your module blinking green or blue. Blue is not good.

That is your EXTERNAL ip address that is used by no-ip.org... your wifi module has it's own IP address that is assigned by your router. That may have changed. The fact that the module is green indicates that it is on your network properly.

Can you still ping and point your phone to that IP? If you can then either your router lost the forwarding OR the no-ip is not updating properly and your external IP address changed.

Hey dude,
I just started having the same issue. As Inevo said i reckon its the port forwarding. When you setup the wifi attachment it does the upnp forwarding for you. On a reboot it lost that and gave exactly your issue. I manually entered the details and rebooted and all is good now, give it a bash and if you haven't come right PM me on SaltyReef
