Hey guys. I just got my ez-b v4 today and I'm having trouble connecting a couple of desktops (win7 home premium 64-bit) to it, even with windows firewall turned off. my laptop (win7 pro 32-bit) connects fine. Do you have any suggestions, pointers, directions, etc. I could follow to resolve the issue? I really appreciate any feedback you can give. Thanks! rb
Are you connecting in AP mode (like the v4 came) or have you put the V4 on your wifi network?
I'm no router expert and there are others here that know that realm better then I but I had to buy a newer home network router to get my connections to stick. I also had to assign static IP's to all my devices to make things work flawlessly. Right now I have two EZB v4's in my robot and they connect through my home network router to ARC every time with no disconnects. Also in your router menu have you tried to release and/or renew your IP list? Give that a try.
Here's a thread from when I was setting up my multi V4 EZB robot which hopefully might help:
Connecting To Two V4 Ezb's
I would advise to connect to the EZ-B with the computer that works and then use a web browser to connect to the EZ-B on 192.168.1.1. At that point, give the EZ-B your networks SSID and Password. This will allow it to get onto you network. You will hear the EZ-B say "I am connected to your network" when you have a connection. Next, you need to know what IP address was assigned to the EZ-B. Connect to your router's IP address next with a computer connected to your network. You will probably be prompted with a username and password. Enter this information for you router. In your router configuration, you should see an option that shows connected devices. This may be under a heading called DHCP. Look for the EZ-B. Get the IP Address assigned to your EZ-B and then use that in the connection options in ARC. Be sure to include the :23 on the end of it.
I suspect what is happening is that one of the wifi cards works great with the EZ-B. The other two are probably older and having issues. The wifi cards that are not connecting, but can connect to your network will then be able to use your network to connect to the EZ-B unless you have an old WIFI access point, which then you would probably want to replace that anyway.
