Ez-B V4 Won'T Connect To Wifi

Really hope someone can help.

I am trying to connect my EZ-B v4 to my laptop but having no luck so far. In brief, the v4 is found on my available network list, but when I click "connect" it comes up with the following...

I run the troubleshooter and the message I get is...

I have AVG antivirus installed and have tried to connect the v4 with AVG enabled and disabled, still no joy.

Laptop specs. HP650 notebook, with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, with 6GB RAM and 320GB HDD.

Please help stress

Thanks.

In addition to the post above, I had a look at the windows network diagnostics.

I also forgot to mention, I have reset the v4, and restarted the laptop too, but to no avail.

Hello @Steve.gibbs

A couple of suggestions for you:

-Try uninstalling AVG

  • If you have a wired ethernet connection on your computer to the router, temporarily remove it
  • If you have a USB WiFi dongle available, try connecting with it.

I guess I should have started with please remove power and reinsert power to the EZ-B and try again, but I figured you probably already tried that one.

I guess I should ask how are you powering your EZ-B, and are your batteries charged?

@jeremie.

Thanks for the quick reply. I do not have an Ethernet cable connected and I don't have a wifi dongle I can use. I have just uninstalled AVG as you suggested, , restarted laptop, and reset v4, and it still will not connect.

I just saw your second post. Yes, I did unplug and replug power, battery is a new 7.4 LiPo, and is fully charged.

Your computer is looking for a response from an internet connection - and not allowing a single adhoc connection. Because there are millions of software applications, we do not know of all apps that could cause the problem.

  1. Do you have a firewall installed?

  2. Other virus scanners installed (other than AVG)?

  3. What version of windows?

  4. Is your computer an HP or Compaq?

I found this link that could possibly help you with setting up an adhoc connection with an HP computer: Link

Wow. I really didn't think it would be this difficult. I had a look at the link Jeremie but the instructions given are different to my systems menus. I have now tried with windows firewalls OFF, and still no luck.
