2. Connecting your Duet to a Network - Wifi

If using Mac OSX use Notepad to enter all the figures and commands as Terminal does not allow you to view the entered information.

First, check the status of the Wifi Module by sending command "M552" to Duet.

If Duet returns Wifi or Ethernet module is disabled, put it into idle mode it by sending command "M552 S0". If it returns Wifi or Ethernet module is idle, proceed to the next step.

Note: The WiFi module only support 2.4Ghz not 5 Ghz Wifi bands.

Use the command M587 as shown below. Use double quotation marks, but substitute your SSID and WiFi password.

M587 S"your-network-name" P"your-password"

As a preset we have used the following setup M587 S"Ooznest Wifi" P"password"

Important: enter the exact characters in the SSID and password of your network, in the correct case, except that if your SSID contains an apostrophe then enter two apostrophe characters in its place. For example, if your SSID is Pete's network then enter "Pete''s network".

Send command M552 S1 to connect to WiFi. (Make sure to connect 2.4GHz network , 5.0GHz network will not connect with the Duet)

After a moment, Duet will confirm the connection and the IP address of the Duet controller.

Take note of this IP Address as it will be needed to access the Web Control in the next step.

Your Duet Wifi is now connected to your Wifi Network. ( The blue light should be on the Wifi module of the controller )

Open your browser and type the IP address assigned to the Duet. We have used 192.168.1.50 as an example.

You should now see the main control page for the Duet!
