@Jeremie i will thanks thanks everyone for your help!

@michaelc,

You are entering the IP address of your router, not your EZ-B, which is why you are being prompted for a router password. I suggest you watch the tutorial videos in lessons 3 and 4 under "EZ-B v4 Robot Brain" in the Learn page to understand how to connect ARC to your EZ-B.

Hey @michaelc thanks for the info:

Quote:

I just updated my driver. 802.11b Preamble - Long & short AdHoc Mode - 11b Operating system - Windows 8.1, 64-bit No exclamation marks Cannot find any hidden devices router is not taking my password in ARC.

I was wondering a couple things, could you try and temporarily change Adhoc mode to 11g if possible and try testing your connection to the EZ-B with that setting?

Otherwise, what do your network adapter power settings look like?

Are they set to maximum like this?

11g & 11n did not work. Everything is showing balanced. My Power Saving Mode only shows Setting & it is at Maximum Performance

Thanks for checking that @Michaelc I am running out of ideas, these HP computers are giving me a run for my money, anyone else got any other thoughts?

If you need to get up and running quickly I would suggest either using Client mode or purchasing a USB WiFi dongle.

There's an excellent step by step text based tutorial on the forums for connecting your EZ-B in client mode. It's written by @Rich: here

Otherwise we have a video in the Learn section and I believe that @TechnoPro has a video as well.

If you'd like to keep on troubleshooting AP (Adhoc) mode with your HP laptop I'll do my best to keep researching but I'm not sure if I can come up with things to try everyday, it may continue to be a work in progress.

Edit: I forgot to suggest that you can use another WiFi device to setup the client mode connection if you'd like, just like @Rich suggested at the start of this thread. Then you can go back to using ARC with your HP laptop.

@Jeremie

When my Roli and dev kit arrive, I expect to have this issue with my work laptop (an HP, and as a networking expert, I should be able to help determine if it is fixable without an update from HP.

I gave you EZ-Robot a work around.

HP is get confused on DNS search for the EZB.

I have been networking PC's since the beginning of PC's.

The Nic controller of HP and their software will not search a second nic wifi, if it is using hp drivers. Only HP can fix that. PERIOD. I tired everything that I know to make it work.

I left you a message on your answering machine (EZ-Robot) to contact me.

BUT you EZ-Robot INC would not call me.

I use my HP each day to access the internet and use an USB wifi (2) to connect to my EZB's in AP mode. I have tested this every day since some time last week. But know one is will to listen to me. I keep here the same thing in this thread too.

USE A USB BY OTHER COMPANY BESIDES HP. AND IT WORKS...

I use an Netgear USB... It works.

But before I can connect in AP mode. I have to disable the HP nic's both of them.

Then connect to EZB via Netgear USB. It works. Then start ARC and do what every. Do you need me to make a video?

I love my EZ-Robots.

I have three work this way and I am working on a fourth one which I already tested and accessed this EZB in the AP mode. Also tested the other EZB V4 07F3 JD robot too and works fine. So that is five robots working this way.

Hi @jdebay sorry we didn't call, we just haven't had much of a chance to converse with our customer support team who took the message.

I wasn't aware that you would have to disable the on-board NIC and Wireless Cards on the HP computer when adding a USB WiFi dongle, thanks for that!
