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?

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

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

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

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.

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?

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?

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

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

You are probably not choosing the correct baud rate.
Please follow the instructions carefully.
Try using 57600 baud as mentioned in the instruction.

Changing the baud rate to 57600 did not change anything. Still will not work with the wifi utility.

Are you talking about wifi utility or Tera term. Two different ways of setting it up.
Can you post the log you get with 57600 baud?

Everything loads with terterm. When the script is complete, I then try the wifi utility and it gives me an error, no blinking lights. The wifi screen says, Please wait, attempting to communicate with the Reef Angel wifi attachment.

"Error" Please disconnect and then reconnect the Reef Angel wifi attachment from the USB ttl cable and try again.
