Ok - I made some progress.

If I change my WIFI to Open I was able to make it work.

What am I doing wrong - I cant keep my network on Open.

Fixed - TKIP instead of AES. Guess the wifi module doesn't like AES.

Can anyone advise how to set the ip on the wireless module to static?

I would just set a dhcp reservation on your router..but I'm pretty sure you can config it as static as well.

Not sure of the commands offhand thoug..

From manufacturer manual:
The firmware supports the following security modes:
• WEP-64 and WEP-128 (open mode only, NOT shared mode)
• WPA2-PSK (AES only)
• WPA1-PSK (TKIP only)
• WPA-PSK mixed mode (some access points, not all are supported)

I would also set DHCP reservation, but if you want to do it in the module:
set ip address 192.168.0.2
set ip gateway 192.168.0.1
set ip netmask 255.255.255.0
set ip dhcp 0

Thank you so much.
