WiFi Attachment won't associate
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2016 9:24 pm
Hi everyone,
New ReefAngel user and new WiFi attachment. I've done some forum reading about this and haven't been able to get it to work.
Router is a D-Link DIR-655 configured with WPA-Personal, WPA2-only, AES (i.e. WPA2-PSK). It's running 802.11n only. Nothing but ordinary lowercase letters in the SSID and passphrase. I've tried both a randomly assigned DHCP address and reserving one for the ReefAngel adapter. It doesn't make a difference.
The WiFi Utility successfully talks to the unit but comes back with Associated: false and Authenticated: false. The unit alternately flashes the blue and green LEDs. It actually does report an IP address and port (192.168.1.1:2000) but that's the IP of the router itself so that is obviously incorrect. I must have tried this at least a dozen times.
I am able to connect to the unit with a terminal program and everything in there looks correct. In here, after "Joining SSID now..." I get "Disconn from SSID, AUTH-ERR". Again, both blue and green LEDs are flashing. I've tried the process in the manual several times, including experimenting with authentication modes other than 4. The table says 4 is WAP2-PSK but 'get w' gives Auth=Mixed for that mode. I think it was mode 2 which gives Auth=WPA2. I also tried running the commands from the macro in the thread about not being able to connect after a firmware upgrade.
Anyway, on the router side when a connection is attempted the logs show "disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication" and gives the unit's MAC address. So they *are* talking to each other at some level.
I do not have easy access to another router (other than Enterprise class stuff at work). I could try changing authentication mode on this router but not on a school night when the kids are doing homework.
There was a good reason why I have disabled b and g on the router but I've forgotten what that was. I'd be reluctant to undo that.
I have already been toying with the idea of running a cable to a 2nd router running as an access point in the basement (for signal strength). If I knew with some certainty that the ReefAngel unit would work with a different router I'd head off to Best Buy and see what they have for routers.
I will try changing security modes and such when it won't disturb the rest of the family. I'll report back if anything works.
Did anyone read this far? Any ideas to get this working? Suggestions for currently available routers that people are using successfully with these adapters?
Thanks in advance,
- Bill
