Wifi will not connect after firmware update

[rimai]

If you performed a wifi firmware update and the module does not connect anymore to your wifi network, it is because the manufacturer released a firmware that corrupts some settings that we use.
To restore the settings again, you will need to use tera term.
http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/index.html.en
After installing tera term, download the zip file:

wifi attachment no ftp.zip

You need to decompress the zip file.
Open the .ttl file in notepad or any other text editor.
Change the SSID and passphrase.
Save the file.
Use Tera Term and go to menu Control->Macro
Browse to the .ttl file you just edited.
It should configure the module at the end of the process.
If you don't get anything in the screen, you will need to change the baud rate before you open the .ttl file.
Go to menu Setup->Serial port and choose 57600 baud and then go to menu Control->Macro to open the .ttl file.

I was pulling my hair... is there a solution for mac users?

When running the macro it keeps looping. It keeps showing "Start WiFly Module Configuration" when you click ok it starts again.

[rimai]

Doing it once is enough.

VeraTerm is giving me a "wifi attachment no ftp.ttl:25:wait" on a dialogue box with pause and End options. This happens right after I run the macro.
I tried all 3 setup forms in the manual as well as this and nothing seems to be able to configure the attachment.
The wifi utility connects to the attachment on COM4 and then when I type the SSID and pass, it gives me an "Error, disconnect and try again" message. Method 2 of setup gave me a status 1803 (maybe 8103) message on the console. My attachment was stored for about 3 weeks and now this is happening. Working perfectly before this.
Do you have any ideas?

[rimai]

Is it blinking blue?

[oscarinw]

It blinks blue twice per green blink. When the wifi utility connects first the pattern is altered for a bit...

[rimai]

Ok, so it is definitely not connected to the wifi network.
Are you sure there is not another window to click "Ok"?

[oscarinw]

I saw the window on VeraTerm before. That is the one telling me But that's the one that reads "wifi attachment no ftp.ttl:25:wait". End and Pause are the only options there. Baud rate was changed to 57600 and there is an OK button on that window. However, that's the 'Setup -> Serial Port' window.

[rimai]

And you tried this with both 9600 (default) and 57600 baud, correct?
Can you post what you get in Tera Term window for both speeds?

[oscarinw]

And you tried this with both 9600 (default) and 57600 baud, correct?

I hadn't until now and ISSUE IS SOLVED.

This was my mistake (for informational purposes):

1. I updated firmware and then was trying every method for connection with no results.
2. I tried then to revert firmware via Macro suggested by 'Rimai' but was automatically changing to baud rate of 57600 (I thought I was supposed to do that)
3. Tried with default Baud of 9600 and it worked! Blue flashing stopped.
4. Ran the wifi utility again and it's connected!

Thanks for your patience with me

I am having the same problem have down loaded everything wanting to make sure that I change the ssid to my one at home and the pass to my password at home for the wifi

[ganjero]

Does this procedure downgrade fix the issue so the WiFI attachment works again with the Wifi Utility? or is it simply to updated you WiFI information?
I did this in my previous home and got it working. I just moved and was going to update the info but the WiFi utility still doe snot connect to the attachment.

Thanks

[rimai]

This is unrelated to the wifi utility. It should connect regardless of upgrade or not.

[ganjero]

My wifi utility gives me an error, It says unable to connect additional updates required please see below. There is nothing below.

so is this the way it should look if my wifi name is centurylink and no password
sendln 'centurylink'
sendln ' '

[lurch]

Can someone confirm this is the right way to input program

[lurch]

Is there anyone that checks this forum?

[binder]

sendln 'centurylink'
sendln ' '

no, this is not correct. in the previous post, Roberto gave the commands to issue the wifi name and password.

Code: Select all

 
sendln 'set wlan ssid centurylink'
sendln 'set wlan pass ' 

I'm not positive about the no password though. I would have to look at the manual again.

Thank you for your help. Do you have a link to the manual?

[binder]

Thank you for your help. Do you have a link to the manual?

no. it is on the roving network (www.rovingnetworks.com) website.
i just looked at the manual and it does not appear to allow for empty or no passphrase. you will need to change the encryption to be none or open and not use wpa2 if you do not want a passphrase. I have not played around with no passphrase to know the answer for you and that example is not in the manual.

Is there something we can do prior to going to 1.1.1 so this issue wont occur?

[fit]

I am trying to understand this so I am going to ask two questions that may seem extremely basic:

Why are all new WiFi adapters not sent with this already configured? Roberto just told me to do this procedure on a recently purchased, brand new WiFi adapter?

What is the purpose of changing the ttl file so that it has the correct SSID and password if I am going to run the WiFi Wizard after runing this Macro?

[rimai]

If you run the macro, you don't need to use the wifi utility anymore. It should be already configured.

[fit]

Thanks. And why are the WiFi adapters shipped without this Macro run on them please?
