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
Just to give you a bit of clarity as to why you are doing this...
AP mode means that the ez-b is acting as a network and isnt a part of your wifi network that your computer is currently using.
Client mode means that the ez-b is connected to your network and is a part of your wifi network.
Client mode allows anything that is connected to your network to see the EZ-B. AP mode only allows devices (such as your cell phone right now) to connect to your EZ-B and only see the EZ-B (not totally correct but for this issue it is). By default, the EZ-B ships in AP mode because it is impossible for EZ=Robot to know your network configuration.
You computer is connecting in Client mode to your router which allows it to see everything on your network. By putting your EZ-B in Client mode (putting it on your network) your computer should have no issue connecting to it. This is done by following the directions that have been listed earlier in this thread.
This can be done from your android or other Smart Phone. I have to do this because my home network is on the 192.168.1.x network so the default IP address conflicts with my router. It could be handled differently but it is just as easy to configure the EZ-B (with a smart phone) to be in Client mode and thus on my network resolving the conflict.
The network will assign the EZ-B a new IP address. This is based on your network configuration, so you will now have to find the device on your network. ARC can be told to search for the EZ-B on your network by launching ARC and clicking the little radio/cell tower image that is to the right of the first connection in the Connections component which should be on the top left side of ARC.
AT LAST IT LIVES... THREE TRYS LOADING THE CLIENT DATA BUT ALL IS WELL...
It was great to hear her sweet voice say I have a connection. The scan for a new address and the connection all went well. Software is up and running.
I really Thank All of You. thetechgruru, Steve G, and d.cochran thanks for sticking it out with me and Richard R the help at the end. Technopro and pacowank thanks for the input...
Be Well
Fantastic. That's great news. Don't worry about your computer skills. You will improve in no time. We all had to start somewhere, right? Anyway happy building.
@ANDY ROID Sweeeet! another EZ Robot addict... I mean user...
Woo Hoo!
You will need to pick which one of us helped most and mark this as resolved or you will get daily emails from the forum reminding you forever....
Unfortunately, no way to spread the credit around when we each contributed something.

Good job man. The fun (and addiction) begins. Go ahead and make another order for you next EZ-B as it will be no time before you want another one
No problem. The good thing is you learned some stuff along the way which you can use in the future!
Where and when did you purchase the EZ-Robot? Also, can you let me know the firmware version number that is presented when you log into the EZ-B HTTP Web Interface?
