wifi utility

[Reefology]

where do i find it?

[cosmith71]

It's in the ReefAngel software. After you install the RA software, it shows up on your desktop.

Do the lights on the wifi attachment blink green on and off? If so, then it is on your network and you should be able to get to it from your web browser. Check out your router's config page to see the Reef Angel IP address and then go to:

http://192.168.1.5:2000/r99

or whatever IP address yours is at with port 2000 after it like in the line above.

Can you see it inside your house from the browser?

Once you know you can see it inside you can then set up port forwarding on the new router to forward any outside port to port 2000 on your router inside. Every router differs in config, but most make it pretty easy these days. Once that's done the portal will see it within 5 minutes or so if you have your forum username of Reefology in the correct ReefAngel.Portal("Reefology"); statement in your .ino file.

Thanks for the help but still not working.

Yes

Can you see it inside your house from the browser?

yes and have set up port forwarding as i did before the move.

Once that's done the portal will see it within 5 minutes or so if you have your forum username of Reefology in the correct ReefAngel.Portal("Reefology"); statement in your .ino file.

When you do a port check, does it show open?

No port 2000 is closed when I use current IP address. Should I be testing the internal IP address assigned to the reef Angel? That's closed also? How do I fix it?

[rimai]

No, you should use the ip address that it was already pre-populated.
If it shows closed, your port forwarding isn't setup correctly.

I got it to open last night and was working fine. Then this am it stopped working for no apparent reason. Didn't change anything?!

Here is my wifi status copied from my providers page

Device details:

Name: ReefAngelWifi

Connection type: Wireless (802.11)
IP address: 192.168.2.24
IP address allocation: DHCP
IP address type: Private (NAT)
Hardware address: 00:06:66:21:ee:db
Status: Off

Allowed applications
ReefAngel - TCP 2000 64.228.213.80

How far away is from the router?
Have you tried to get a little bit closer to see if it is signal strength problem?
Can you access your controller using the internal ip address?
http://192.168.2.24:2000

[AlanM]

What does "Status: Off" indicate in what you posted? Does that mean that it isn't actively connected to the access point?

BTW, your .sig shows that it did connect briefly at least to the portal this morning at 6:22am. Weird that it would not work now.

Hi all,

I pulled my reef angel out after a being in a box for over a year...time to finally set up a new reef after moving

Having 2 issues related to wifi.

1. Can't communicate with portal

Wifi attachment is slow blinking green and I port forwarded 2000 to the internal ip assigned to reef angel.

2. The major issue...after uploading wifi test code to solve wifi issue, I now can't upload anything else

the code I had installed worked great when I turned on the unit but now get a timeout message saying avrdude:stk500v2_command(): failed miserably to execute 0x11

I primarily want my code back and then will deal with wifi.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ok now able to upload sketches but still having trouble with the wifi attachment. It's slow blinking green and I see it on my router but not able to communicate with the portal. How do I know if I have set up port forwarding correctly?

Here's my router info:


Host Name IP Address MAC Address type Interface Status
ReefAngelWifi 192.168.0.34 00:06:66:21:EE:DB DHCP-Reserved 2.4Ghz
Active

Port Forwarding Rules
Application Name Public Private Protocol Local IP Address Remote IP Address Status Manage
Reef 2000~2000 2000~2000 TCP 192.168.0.34 Any ON OFF Manage

Cool.
Do you have 2 routers?
One from internet and one for wifi?

[Reefology]

Thanks Roberto. No just one, why?

[rimai]

If you had two, you would need port forwarding on both of them.
