I've received my EZBv4 and changed to Client mode and found the new IP address (192.168.1.15:23), but EZ Builder for windows connects (and i hear sound on EZBv4) but keep disconnecting after a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - we are trying to use EZBv4 in a science project.
Thanks so much!
If so, it may be possible that the router you are connected to could have the same default IP as the EZ-B and causes conflict.
If the EZ-B v4 is in "AP Mode", the error you are receiving is because you are not connected to the EZ-B Wi-Fi Network. The ARC software is confused because the IP Address that you are attempting to connect to is actually your router. This is because you are not connected to the EZ-B v4, and instead connected to the Wi-Fi router for your network.
Please follow the instructions on the Learn section of the website. You can access the Learn section by pressing the Learn button at the top menu of this website. The step-by-step tutorials will help you understand how to...
1) reset the ez-b to default settings
2) load ARC
3) connect your PC to the EZ-B v4 over Wi-Fi
4) connect to ARC to EZ-B v4
Those are the steps you need to execute - please use the Learn section to access the tutorials which will help you connect to your EZ-B v4.
If you do not change the settings and use the EZ-B v4 in default Access Point mode, that will be the easiest. Start with the easiest and most basic configuration before attempting complicated Infrastructure Wi-Fi connectivity.
See Rich's tutorial here http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/posts.aspx?threadId=5593 for how to configure the EZ-B to your network.
If you have no WiFi devices and no friends with one that could come visit, then you can probably get a cheap USB connected WiFi card for you PC and use it for this set up and if you ever need to factory reset the EZ-B.

If you'd like via adhoc (direct connection) I would definitely investigate a WiFi USB adapter, some can be found for about $10 at places like amazon or adafruit.
Otherwise, just like Alan mentioned, client mode is another viable option.
Try disabling your Anti-virus software. That was exactly the behaviour when I was using Avast Antivirus. I switched to AVG and have no problems now.
So I would check your antivirus program, that could be your problem.

check you client list from drop down menu, identify EZB ip ,open port forwarding and setup EZB ip and port
while you may not be interested in using web login at this stage use link below to test router this will show exact ip and port of EZB

I find this test invaluable as I can see exactly if EZB is connected and its port .
Sometimes my EZB is located in another room by using this simple test I can see if its actually powered up
Obviously antivirus issues may arise as alerady discussed but at least you now know its a pc issue .

AP Mode is the default mode for the EZ-B v4. Press the RESET button on the EZ-B v4 when powered up and connect to it.
Have you had a chance to try a USB WiFi dongle at all?
