We are trying to reconfigure the Rovi to be a Wifi AP. We can connect to the Rovi via my router, we can access the Rovi's configure pages, both from my PC and my tablette, we can apparently save the "EZ-B Wi-Fi Access Point Mode Configuration", we then reboot the Rovi, either using its power switch or the reboot option from its Diagnostic section, but it always just reconnects to our wifi router as a client, and we can never see the rovi appear as an access point.
Is that a known problem? Are we doing it wrong?
Thanks.
@Alan... got you...
@gebonline, i always care about bug reports
. however, i am unable to reproduce that scenario that you're experiencing. When connected in client mode, i visit the AP mode page and press the save button - which prompts for a reboot of the ez-b. I reboot the ez-b and it is now AP mode.
As you are using a EZ-B v4.x/1 that has Comm 1 communication board, follow these instructions.
connect the ez-b in client mode to the network
locate the ez-b on the network to obtain the ip address in ARC
visit the ez-b's ip address in your web browser (i.e. http://192.168.1.116)
click the AP Mode button, which will display the name of the network (SSID), Channel, Security Mode, Security Key, 802n mode option. Beware, that if the security key is not longer than 8 characters, the AP mode will not be activated. Either leave the security key blank (empty, no characters or spaces) or type a phrase that is longer than 8 characters
Press the SAVE button and you will be prompted with a message to reboot the ez-b
reboot the ez-b means turn the power off for a few seconds, and back on again
When the ez-b reboots, the AP mode will be activated.
I may assume in your case, the security key was not 8 characters and/or SSID was not valid. Use the example tutorial videos provided in my earlier post for further assistance.
