'Connecting' blue bar on DWC but not connecting

Question

Rep: 1

Options

I can see I am connected on the duet to wifi and the M552 command confirms connection as well as my IP address for DWC.

However, when I visit the address I am met with a blue bar that says “Connecting…” but never appears to connect.

Firmware has been updated to the latest version and it was working fine yesterday?!

Any help here must appreciated!

Is this a good question?

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your message.

Please connect via USB in YAT.

Go to Terminal > Settings > Text Settings. Change EOL Sequence to <LF> and press Ok.

Run the command M122 in YAT.

In the report back there will be a line: 'WiFi signal strength'

Values in the range -30 to -50 are good, -50 to -60 is OK, -60 to -70 is marginal. Anything below -70 is weak and likely be unreliable.

If the signal strength is -60 or below you need to improve the strength where the machine is located or switch to access point mode.

Options include:

A Wi-Fi signal booster extends WiFi network coverage space by boosting or amplifying existing signals. It enables all wireless devices within that expanded coverage space to connect to the internet or a similar wireless network. With a WiFi booster, the wireless coverage will be boosted to cover larger areas of need.
A Powerline adapter is a device that uses your homes electric wiring to transmit communications signals. The adapters (at least two) plug into your wall sockets and use Ethernet cables to connect to your router at one end and your device at the other.
