Portal issue

[J_C]

I've setup my wifi adapter like the manual said. I can control my RA via phone app when on my wifi, not on 3G. The web app works. I've gone through the tutorial for setting up the portal, set-up a no-ip account. I've gone through the guides on port-forwarding to set a static ip and forward my port to 2000. How do I get the phone app and portal to work?

Green LED is doing the slow blink

make sure you don't have a second firewall, some cable/dsl modems have built in firewalls that will block the connection even if you opened it on your router.

Check out: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and see if it see's 2000 as open

Port 2000 isn't blocked.

I need my external IP address right? Would this be the same one for the wifi adapter as for my computer?

[wolfador]

the wifi adapter would be on your internal IP address. If you go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ it should tell you your "external" ip that you would put into the phone app / portal.

I kept typing in my internal. Went to the mentioned site and typed in myexternalip:2000 and it worked! Like magic! Thank you.

My portal stopped working. I have no idea why. My external ID is still the same, same router, same settings...what gives?

Can you access the controller by browsing the internal ip?

No

What if you reboot your wifi attachment?

[J_C]

I've rebooted the attachment, whole controller, and router. Nothing seems to do anything.

Do you have blue led blinking?
Are you sure none of the ip addresses got changed?

I'm not at home at the moment, I'll check when I am home

My green light is slowly blinking. I didn't change anything. Won't hurt to check though.

The slow green LED means it is connected to the wifi network.
Have you changed your code recently?
Can you ping the wifi atatchment?

Is slow-blinking-green, with no other LEDs on at all (except yellow activity) the goal? What LEDs indicate the wifi is configured correctly?

yes, slow green is indication that everything should be good.
The blue is indication that it is not connected. The leds are described in the manual.

Well, broke my computer. Until I can afford a new one, no fiddling with the controller :sad: I can post up the address if you want.

I no longer think this is the issue, jumping on another bandwagon.
