wifi just flashes and gets error every time i try to set up

wifi just flashes and gets error every time i try to set up. It worked for a day and stopped today so i tried to re-set up and now it just flashes and even when i try to reset factory settings it will not work. I also tried the firmware upgrade and it has an error as well.

Thanks for any help

Can you use tera term to see what version firmware you have?

[nrosdal]

not really sure what that means.

Sorry very new to this

The manual has instructions on how to use a serial terminal application to log into the WiFi attachment manually.
You need a software like putty or teraterm.
You can download teraterm here if you need: https://www.ayera.com/teraterm/

[nrosdal]

[nrosdal]

downloaded that program and am not sure what to do.... Anyone wanna give me some baby steps on how to do this as my phone is giving me an error every half hour trying to connect and it is killing me.

I think you ended up updating the firmware and now have a corrupt config file.
The manufacturer screwed up things on this firmware update.
Here is a post with the solution:

You need to follow the instructions on that post.
The first step is to download the file.
I'm copying in here to make it easy for you:

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.
If that does not work for some reason, copy and paste what you get on the screen.
