Have Two Ez-B V4'S One Shows Up On My Wifi List And The Other One Doesn'T

Hi, This is my first post so glad to be here. I have a peculiar problem. I'm trying to get going with my EZ-B v4 and I'm noticing that one of my EZ-B's wifi name shows up in my list without any issues but the other one will show up and than disappear and doesn't come back. I also noticed that it does show up in my wifi listing on my Iphone so I know I can get to it but I would just like to be able to get to it via my PC. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks

Dave - as per my original response, the WiFi list is the detection of the wifi signal.

If you click on your wifi list, you will see WifI networks. When you are viewing those networks, there is no connection to them. There is absolutely no connection occurring to those networks to view their signal.

Just like you can see things in the room in front of you - doesn't mean you are feeling or eating or tasting all those things. You are merely seeing them with your eyes.

The display of WiFi networks is a display of the wifi signals only. There is no connection to them. Without a connection, there is no ip address. And without an ip address, there is no router. And with no router, there is no firewall.... etc

What ever you do... do not make any changes to absolutely anything. The only thing that is happening is your wifi adapter on that windows PC is having issues detecting some wifi signals. There is absolutely nothing you can do to change that other than power down.

Dave, this individual's post has absolutely nothing to do with anything you have experienced. Please do not change your settings Dave. This has zero relation to static ip addresses because there is no connection to even have an ip address. You can have static ip addresses, that's fine - but it has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation because there is no network connection to even have an ip address, let alone static.

The suggested solution for this individual's experience: Power the PC down for 5-10 seconds and power back on. A reboot will only restart the operating system and not the hardware. The only way to restart hardware is to power down the PC.

OK, Understood. Thanks for clearing that up. I understand now I made a suggestion that has nothing to do with the solution of the OP's problem. I'll stand down and from now on I'll try to keep on subject. Sometimes I get a bit scattered and try to do too much. Thanks for the guidance.

Good luck arkofthecovenant. Your very lucky to have DJ's assistance. Not too many CEO's give this level of personal care of their customers. ;)

Thanks for all the help guys. The power down resolved the issue. I will keep this in my back pocket for when this raises it's head again. I also reseated the wifi card as well. Probably wasn't necessary but surely didn't hurt anything. You are correct Dave in the one on one communication with DJ. I was referrred to EZ-Robot from someone for this exact reason. I've had my two EZ-B's since Nov and just now settling down into using them for my robot project. Have alot to learn in terms of becoming proficient with the code but won't take long :) . Thanks for the resolution to my problem.

Well I spoke to soon. I started to try and get some things going this morning and even after several complete power downs. None of my two EZ-B's are showing up in my Wifi list. So I'm just going to purchase a new wifi adapter card and call it dead as that has to be the issue based on how DJ explained the wifi process. I've spun my wheels long enough. Thanks.
