New User - Can'T Get A Wireless Connection

Hello I just received my developer kit and I am unable to get a Wireless Connection. I plug in the EZ-B, it goes thru it's enable and begins to flash blue. I go to my Wireless Connection bar and see the EZ-B listed. I click on it and try to connect at which point it tries to connect, then says Windows was unable to connect to EZ-B4 ---- . I run diagnostics but it fails. I repeated the steps as shown in the video and Windows diagnostics, but no luck.

I am running Windows 7 on a ASUS Desktop. My computer skills are low level, so please stay basic so I can get this running.

Any advice? I am looking forward to using my new control but am stuck on the Starting Line.. stress confused:(

Hello to Alan and all helping,

OK .. I connected to the EZ-B with my phone,

status connected security none Signal very strong link speed 54mbps IP address 192.168.1.2 proxy none IP setting DHCP

I went to http://192.168.1.1 and have no idea which to pick to get to look at what I need. any advice.. also I never mentioned I am connected to my tv through ROKU. Possible conflict here? How can I confirm my router is still not set for a direct wired computer which may have been used 3 years ago. (computer is disconnected now).

on the android, open a web browser. Connect to http://192.168.1.1. From there use this guide.

wifi modes

start at 3:30 in the video.

Put the robot in Client Mode and then you should be able to connect to it from your PC in ARC.

Once the web page ( http://192.168.1.1) comes up click on the Wifi Client mode button... Then enter the SSID (name of your wifi network) and then the pass word... Then save... the ezb will reboot and if you did it correctly the flashing blue LED on the ezb will now be flashing green... Once you get this done we can try and get you connected to ARC...

Great. You now need to click on WiFi Client mode.

Then enter the information it asks for. Then follow the steps outlined in post #10.

Connection tutorial.

Excellent that the Android worked. that means your EZ-B is good, and the D-Link USB WiFi adapter you are using may have the same issue as the RALink radios.

We'll be able to get you up and running in client mode.

Hi Alan,

I Thank you and all that are helping, again.

I am still confused about getting to the address (http://192.168.1.1). Do I have to load the EZ software in the phone? then do the setup in the EZ-B? ( Have I mentioned my computer and internet knowledge SUCKS ) . I assume by your answers we are getting closer.

No. Once connected to client mode using your phone, You need to open ARC on the computer you want to use, as your EZ-B is now connected to your router. Once you have the client mode bit sorted, open ARC and use the scan tool in the connection control icon that looks like a mini cell phone tower to locate your ezb. If it finds your EZ-B's IP address you will hear a chime. Press "Stop" wait a couple of seconds then press "Connect". Hopefully you will hear the EZ-B chime again to confirm it's connected.

What basically happens now is that your EZ-B and computer will meet in the middle (the router), connect to each other, and hopefully play nice with each other.

All your doing with your phone is going to a web page like any other web page, only this one is the web server of the ezb4... follow the steps below...

  1. Connect to the ezb with your phone
  2. Open your phone's web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1
  3. The ezb web server will come up
  4. Locate the Client Wifi button on that web page and click on it
  5. It will ask you to enter your SSID (network name) and pass word
  6. Press save and you done with using your phone
