If the EZ-B is connected to your network in client mode, its IP will not be 192.168.1.1, that may be the IP address of your router, or may not exist on your network at all. You need to either use the search for EZ-B function in ARC, or look in your router to find out what IP address was assigned and change the EZB 0 connection settings to use the correct IP address.

Looks as if you have connected to two different ip addresses.

1. 192.168.1.1 (Which would be correct)
2. 192.168.1.5 (no idea what that is)

This leads me to believe you are not actually connected to the EZ-B v4 network over WiFi. What ever device that is answering on 192.168.1.5 is not an EZ-B v4. The EZ-B v4 is hardcoded to 192.168.1.1 when in AD-Hoc (AP Mode).

When you attempt a connection, a prompt is displayed asking to preview the connection tutorial. Have you reviewed it? At what step are you experiencing trouble with? Let me know and we'll help

There is a video on how to connect to networks using the WiFi.

I looked at the tutorials and i have done what it said with the IP 192.168.1.1 and i got this error message:

Attempting connection on 192.168.1.1:23 Connection Failed: System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed out. at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String hostname, Int32 baudRate) Disconnected

The previous IP was different because when that IP appeared in the scan the EZB made a connection jingle and when i tries that on my dad's computer it connected with no problem. The EZB is in client mode if that helps.

First, can you connect to the EZ- B in AP mode? It's best to start at the beginning. Press the reset button and put the EZ-B back into AP Mode. Does your laptop connect to it in AP Mode?

A good hint with electronics, specifically robots is to start one step at a time. This is to ensure there are no other complications in between attempts. For example, the client mode introduces a bunch of other technologies, which makes it challenging to debug. In client mode, you have routers, virus scanners, firewalls, duplicate ips, cached dhcp settings, etc.. etc.. etc...

So, start in AP Mode first - and let's move from there.

In short, can your laptop connect to the EZ-B v4 in default AP Mode setting?

Also, when connecting, there will be a prompt that asks if you wish to view the connection tutorial if the connection fails. Here is the tutorial link: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/14?courseId=5

On that page is a trouble shooting guide. It has step by step details of connecting. It also includes instructions to help us help you by providing answers to the questions. Can you press the trouble shooting button and follow the trouble shooting guide to answer the questions and we'll get you up and running

The answers to the questions are:

1)The batteries are fully charged.

2)The EZ-B makes the startup sound when on.

3 & 4) There is a blue light flashing when the EZ-B is on

5. I have followed the instructions.

6)The EZ-B connects but then disconnects with this message:

Attempting connection on 192.168.1.1:23 Comm Err: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at System.IO.Stream.ReadByte() at EZ_B.EZB.drdP31fe7H(Int32 , Byte[] cmdData) BbytesToExpect: 1 U Received: Disconnected Connection Failed: System.Exception: Controller Not Responding at EZ_B.EZB.g0KPD37NHh() at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String hostname, Int32 baudRate) Disconnected

7. The EZ-B's name does appear on my WiFi list.

8. The wire connection are all correct.

9. I have reset and retried this a number of times all with the same result.

Okay, perfect! Thanks

The EZ-B v4 light flashes blue. This means it is in AP Mode, not client mode - which is good.

So, your laptop does not see the EZ-B v4 in the wifi list. However, your dads computer does see the EZ-B v4 in it's wifi list?

Have you rebooted your computer?

Refresh you wifi list, restart you computer... The ezb4 will eventually appear in your wifi list... Then connect to it... You have to connect to the ezb4 from your wifi list first before you can try to connect in ARC using 192.168.1.1... If you have a cell phone with a web browser then that will work as well...

no, the laptop does see the EZ-b on the WiFi list.
