Updating WIFI firmware

[cjrudy]

Having trouble with the wifi module so I need to update the firmware, totally forgot how to do it, where can I get the instructions again ?

[rimai]

If you log into the wifi attachment in command mode, you can use this command:

Code: Select all

ftp u

Check the manual for instructions on how to enter command mode.

[cjrudy]

Well I logged in, used ftp u and it connected to the ftp but they just ran these continual gray lines of nothing, very strange.

So After 20 minutes I disconnected, reset to factory settings and now I cannot get it to take wifi settings through the wifi utility and I cannot log in through putty.

[rimai]

factory settings restore baud rate back to 9600.
Try following these then:

The latest firmware is 4.41. Which version do you have now?

[cjrudy]

I had gone back to 9600 baud and was finally able to get in, ran the wifi set up through command line, but after reboot it still never connected. Now I cant get back in........GRR !!!

[cjrudy]

OK , just got back in, firmware actually did upgrade to 4.4.1, still cant get wifi to set up, either through putty or the wifi utility

Here is what I got

[rimai]

SSID and passphrase are case sensitive.
Can you make sure you have the exact same case?

[rimai]

Also, Join needs to be 1 if you manually set it up.
If you run the macro, it will set it to 1 automatically.

Code: Select all

set wlan join 1

[cjrudy]

Verified SSID and Passphrase, set join to 1, still nothing

[cjrudy]

SCAN:Found 1
01,07,-53,04,1104,28,40,84:1b:5e:dc:67:9c,NETGEAR07
END:

[rimai]

Your SSID is set to NEATGEAR07 and your scan produced NETGEAR07

[cjrudy]

The set wlan join 1 and correcting the SSID did it.

Thanks for all your help
