The system takes forever to connect, then it drops connection (have windows defender and allowed it through, shut down webroot)... once connected ARC may or may not connect, when that happens i have to restart EZRobot. Once started, it stays up for about 5 seconds and then the camera shuts off and i notice no more connection, have to shut ARC down, reboot EZRobot start again, rinse lather repeat.. then when i play a sound file that is imported and engaged through VR... wait for sound, Hello, play wav (wav will play 50% through, then loop to beginning in an endless loop). How do I get this thing to work before i return it... Questions What product are you connecting to? (i.e. Arduino, ESP-32, EZ-Robot JD, Raspberry Pi, Robotis Bioloid, etc). - EZRobot 4 What power source you providing the robot? (Battery, wall adapter, how many volts/amps, etc) Wall Adapter 7.2 volts Does the robot make a startup sound when powered on (if applicable)? Is there a verbal message spoken from the product on bootup (if applicable)? Have you checked the product manual? - YES If Wi-Fi device, are you connecting the correct WiFi network of the EZB/Robot? - Of course Do you have two network adapters? (i.e. one for the internet and one for the robot) - didn't work well, so just one What error message is displayed in the status window at the bottom of ARC? 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB EZ-B v4.x/2 Native Firmware ID: 65-89-0-0-223-255-59-58-58-38-38-38 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB Setting battery monitor voltage: 7 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB Setting battery protection: True 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB Setting i2c rate: 100000 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB EZ-B voltage is 12.232328478 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB EZ-B temperature is 25.07708920892138208C 2021/04/23 13:11:39 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB Connected 2021/04/23 13:11:49 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB Comm Err: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at EZ_B.EZB.gkBAWwT85a2uhRt3Y4T(Object , Object , Int32 , Int32 ) at EZ_B.EZB.eihfh6Cn7Z(Int32 , Byte[] cmdData) 2021/04/23 13:11:49 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB BbytesToExpect: 2 2021/04/23 13:11:49 -04:00 C:\Users\Terry\Documents\ARC\My Projects\B9-V1.EZB ?

Oh one more thing - if the ezb is disconnecting while using it, check this out. It’s a great page that has a lot of things to check: https://synthiam.com/Support/troubleshooting/EZB%20Disconnecting
Are there any different problems that could arise when a EZB is connected in it's AP mode rather then Client mode? I'm pretty sure the OP is connecting through AP mode. Which would be considered more stable given the current laptop.
I added my EZ to my network as Dave mentioned and with ports 23 open so far so good.. i also stopped using my on VR blocky script and started using EZ Script and again all well so far, thanks all
@TerryBau, that's good to hear. I do recommend using JavaScript instead of EZ Script. JavaScript has more functionality and uses fewer resources.
Very nice @Terry!!! I'm really glad you found a solution. I hope the rest of your build is fun and successful.
I am really looking forward to learning Javascript and to start converting my EZ Scripts over to it. However I have so many script that it's going to be a mountain of work and time. However I have been want to streamline my B9 Robot Control project. That may be my opportunity.
that would be cool, would love to see your outcome.. my beginning scripts are simple as i start to learn to use this... loving the build.. so much to do
super thanks
