Tips

• do a scan and look for the same network as the user is trying to connect to - otherwise connection will always fail
  • seen funny things where a network was visible to everything but the RN-XV - fix = scan??
• firmware update
  • connect to WiFi
  • ftp update
  • boot image
  • factory R
  • power cycle

Device Wont connect to WiFi but you're sure the settings are correct

for me this fixed the problem being that I was 1000% certain that the ssid and phrase were correct and I always got:

<4.00> join
Auto-Assoc McGroves chan=0 mode=NONE FAILED

or

Auto-Assoc McGroves chan=1 mode=MIXED SCAN OK
<4.00> Joining McGroves now..
Disconn from McGroves,AUTH-ERR
AP mode as McGroves on chan 1
DCHP Server Init

From either of these states you can see the result from scan:

<4.00> scan
<4.00>
SCAN:Found 0
END:
scan
<4.00>
SCAN:Found 6

Try this

1. power cycle the device
2. send $$$
3. send factory RESET
4. send scan (if your device isn't here or if all 000000's are returned, there's your problem)
   • if 0 networks are returned or all the info is 0's keep sending scan until you get multiple valid networks. Then send factory RESET
   • I think the critical step is that you get valid networks upon sending the first scan. Otherwise reset the device and start again
5. send set wlan ssid network_name
6. send set wlan phrase password (spaces don't seem to be supported - I didn't test this but read about other peoples problems while looking for a solution here)
7. send join
8. send ftp update
9. send boot image _ _ (the number of file returned from ftp update)
10. send factory R
11. power cycle the board

Not sure if this problem is fixed with 4.0.0.1. Every device I had was 4.0.0 (problems) and once connected to a network I updated the firmware.
