Hello all I'm new to the EZ family so I'm not sure if this is a setting problem or hardware issue.
First I do have the Ralink wireless card but I'm able to connect to the EZ-B4 through my network so I don't think it's an issue. Second I turned off Microsoft's security suite to prevent connection issue. I'm Running Windows 7 with all the updates.
I'm able to connect to the EZ-Bv4 "via" AP or Client mode WiFi 3165 v2016.02.29.00. I'm currently working in Client mode.
As long as I do NOT start a new project and enter into create servo profile it stays connected and reads as follows: Connected to 192.168.1.112:23 Reports EZB v4 OS With Comm 2 EZ-B v4 ID: 78-49-0-0-46-255-57-60-59-38-37-37 Setting battery monitor voltage: 7 Setting battery protection: True Setting i2c rate: 100000 EZ-B voltage is 7.589682810 EZ-B temperature is 24.62928404447635740C Connected
If I enter into "Create servo Profile" to start my new project, after a few seconds I'm disconnected from the Network so I can't adjust servo's and the message below appears. Can you tell me what setting I have wrong or why it's disconnecting me? I did try to find this exact answer but if I missed it in the forums please point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Your right Alan Didn't think about it being XP.
So I sent the Robotshop a return request, like them guys over there "they didn't think I was crazy" and they sent me a RMA. Going to trade out the EZB and see if that's the issue.
Will take about a week to receive the new one so I will get in touch with you again then. Mean while I guess I'll keep reading the lessons and get a little smarter about the over all functions and12C items.
Thank you Alan and Richard for the great help. Talk to you again soon with hopefully a new engaging question.

@Rod... your luck has to change man.... Kudos for keeping on this... Let us know
Thanks Richard You guys are the reason we newbies keep going.
Robotshop is great. I am sure we'll get you running one way or another.
Alan
Alan, Richard, DJ and any I missed Thank you for all your help.
Believe it or not apparently the EZBv4 had an issue. The new one works great with the camera. Worked just like it's suppose to and came right up after scanning it.
I was fully expecting it to be an issue with my setup. Anyways now I can get on with things and ask lots of silly questions.
I will be back ! Thanks guys.
@Novo Awesome news... time to have fun....
I wonder if I am having the same issue. Maybe same bad batch
@dassy Is everything I describe in this thread the same as far as symptoms go?
These guys walked me through trouble shooting as far as you could before replacing it.
The EZBv4 for me acted normal as far as connecting to WiFi and moving servo's as commanded. The camera also showed no signs of trouble, when connected to the EZB. The Green Led came on when connected. I did inspect the cable to the camera for signs of a bad wire or bad crimp at the connectors.
The one thing I would say is probably the best check is to connect the camera to the EZB. Open your EZ software and Do NOT load anything. "especially saved profiles" Click everything off the screen beneath the menu bar except the connection tab/box. Connect the EZB through WiFi to the EZ software. "EZB should confirm connected verbally and does not matter if AP or client mode"
NEXT In the tab's on the menu bar click "Project" then click "ADD" On the new drop down menu click the "camera" tab and finally click "Camera Device" This adds just a camera menu to the screen. On the new camera menu, click on the radio tower looking icon. This opens a new box where the camera IP should show up, when it does click on it. The box will close and your camera video should show up on the screen after a few moments.
Let us know how it goes! Sorry for the lengthy explanation.
Good Luck
