When in client mode, the EZ-B does not have an access-point. The access-point is only available in access-point mode.

The quickest way to get access-point mode is to press the reset button on the EZ-B with a toothpick. Otherwise, use the web configuration tool.

Here's how to reset the EZ-B: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/16?courseId=5

Alright, thanks, fair enough, I can reset the network configuration to its initial settings, and connect to the robot in AP this way. From there, I was able to change the AP settings as I wanted. Of course, it's quite counter intuitive to have to reset the connection mode when you have a configuration page that gives the impression that you can change every setting when it effectively can't.

I was able to change all the settings the way I wanted, but only, with a reboot after changing the SSID and before setting the connection mode & password. When I changed both the SSID and the connection mode & password at the same time, the connection never worked and I had to reset the network configuration again and restart from the beginning (I tried 3 times successively).

Again, the instructions are to either

1. Use the configuration page to change the mode

2. Press the reset button which restores to default settings

If you require further assistance on using the config page, i can create a video. Let me know!

DJ, maybe I wasn't clear enough:

1/ if you're already in client mode, the configuration page just doesn't work, I've both from the Android app and a PC web browser. Using the AP tab, saving a new SSID & mode, rebooting the robot won't work: the robot just reboots in client mode and the settings changes are ignored.

2/ resetting the network setting does bring back the robot in AP mode, but changing AP settings requires saving & rebooting the robot twice, once after changing the SSID, once after changing the mode & password. If you change both settings at once, the config gets busted and I can't connect to the robot.

If you don't care about bug reports like this one, just say it.

@Richard, that is not what he is saying. He is trying to change back to AP mode and specify an SSIP for AP mode. He can do one at a time, but not both without it failing and requiring a reset.
