You probably set it to do that Mel.... Remember the trouble you had with Bluetooth... If you are connected to you desktop you can now open ARC and launch the EZB4 web server... Then you can set your EZB4 to client mode... Again go back to DJ's video and follow it step by step.... If you follow it correctly you won't have any issues....

By the way, you want it connected to your desktop... Once connected to your PC you can now configure it.... Launch ARC an select that silver flying saucer disk thingy in the connection control box... If you are indeed connected to your EZB4 in WP mode this will bring up the EZB4 web server... Switch it to client mode by entering your network name and password... If you are successful the blue led on the ezb4 will change to green...

Ok, here is what I have done so far. I turned off the wi-fi on the notebook. I turned OFF the Desktop. I reset the EZB 4. I find it in the wireless list now.

I see the EZB 4 in the list. If I hook it to the EZB 4, then I have no net. If I hook it to the net, then the EZB disconnects.

I have SUNSHINE (NOTEBOOK) and moviemaker (Desktop) hooked together going into the router and then to the net. As shown in the diagram. But EZB is not connected. If I connect it, it only connects to the notebook wireless.

I will further experiment.

thank You.

That's good.... Forget the internet for now... Once you get it in client mode you will be able to connect to both... EZB and network (internet)....

Below is the same as the video which you seem to have trouble following...

  1. connect to the ezb4 from your wifi list (choose whatever PC that will connect to the EZB4)... you don't need the internet right now... This is WP mode....

  2. Once connected (solid blue light on the EZB4) open ARC

  3. Select the silver flying saucer thingy in the connection control box

  4. The EZB4 web server will open...

  5. Select Client mode and enter your Network name and password

  6. Save... the ezb4 board will re-boot itself and now you should see a flashing green light

  7. Close ARC and reconnect your PC to your network

Let me know when you get this far

It says it is connected. But, the Blue light is flashing.

Forget the flashing blue light, doesn't need to be sold... Open ARC and click on the silver flying saucer thingy in the connection control box (EZ board 0)... Does the web server come up (like DJ shows in the video?

Done successful

  1. Once connected (solid blue light on the EZB4) open ARC Blue Light Still blinks. Else Done.

  2. Select the silver flying saucer thingy in the connection control box Done

  3. The EZB4 web server will open... Done

  4. Select Client mode and enter your Network name and password Done

  5. Save... the ezb4 board will re-boot itself and now you should see a flashing green light GREEN Light is solid. I don't know what you mean by save... No SAVE button, only have Connect . The unit says it successfully connected to my network.

  6. Close ARC and reconnect your PC to your network

At this point cannot connect EZB to wifi. When I press select and hit connect, it says it is unable to connect. Restarting ARC does not allow me to search and find anything and it will not connect until I restart everything. (I have done this six times.)

How old is your wifi access point or router?

The nic in your laptop is probably much newer than the access point or router. It has been documented that some older routers have trouble connecting to the ezb. This really isn't surprising as wireless has changed drastically over the past 10 years.

The other issue could be that the wifi password or ssid isn't correct in the configuration.

Am I correct in guessing that the wifi router access point is probably about 3 to 4 years old? Please let us know. Some have had to upgrade their router or add an access point.
