gaberosenfield's ProfileTo start off, I understand almost nothing about networking. I have the wifi module and have configured it using coolterm such that my router recognizes it and the wifi module has a slow blinking green light only. But I can't understand exactly what I'm supposed to do to get it to communicate with the web portal. I added ReefAngel.AddWifi(); to the setup section in my ino file and ReefAngel.Portal("gaberosenfield", "passphrase"); to the loop section. I matched the passphrase in my portal settings. If I type the wifi module's IP address/wifi into my web browser from within my wireless network, I get a page that says the string I configured the wifi module to send to the remote TCP client when the TCP port is opened. I don't get anything else, and I really don't understand what this means. If I type the same address into my web browser from outside my wireless network, I just get a "web page is not available" page.
I tried to set up port forwarding on my router, but I don't really understand what I'm doing. When I tried to set up port forwarding, my router asked what port I want to forward from (I entered 80 because that's the port I configured the wifi module to use) and it asked what port I want to forward to. I didn't know how to answer the last question so I left it blank.
I also don't really understand if I need a static IP address and whether the static IP address should be for my router or the wifi module itself.
Help?
Total networking noob here, can someone help me?

Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2014 7:04 pm What is an "iPhone" address? Wait, was that an autocorrect from IP address? I'll try that.
The router is a Pace Plc, model number 4111N-030. Gabe's Grad Reef

Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2014 7:11 pm I cannot forward port 80 to the wifi module's IP address. The maximum number of characters I can enter in the "Map to Host Port" field is 8; not enough for an IP address...
I don't know if this will help, but when I enter the wifi module's IP address with a "/wifi" at the end into my internet browser from within my wireless network, this is what I see: You have connected to Gabriel Rosenfield's ReefAngel wifi moduleHTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: ReefAngel Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate Pragma: no-cache Connection: close Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 75 <!DOCTYPE html><script src='http://www.reefangel.com/wifi/ra2.js'></script> Gabe's Grad Reef

Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2014 10:10 pm Thanks for trying pandimus, but I already read that page. It doesn't answer any of my questions...
And I know port 2000 is the default one that the wifi module uses, but I changed it to port 80 when I was setting up the module. Should I change it back? Maybe I'll try that... Gabe's Grad Reef

Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2014 12:16 am As far as I can tell, changing it back had no effect. Here is the info I get when I type the "get i" command into coolterm while I'm connected to the wifi module, just in case it helps anyone help me:
get i IF=UP DHCP=ON IP=192.168.42.72:2000 NM=255.255.255.0 GW=192.168.42.1 HOST=198.171.134.6:80 PROTO=TCP, MTU=1524 FLAGS=0x6 TCPMODE=0x0 BACKUP=0.0.0.0 <4.41> Gabe's Grad Reef
