I'm trying to connect two v4's in one project, but no dice. I know someone had this trouble before, but can't find the thread.
They are both set to client mode, and the both connect individually. I've...
Reset the router, Turned off firewalls, Restarted ARC, Restarted my PC, Disabled antivirus and batteries are fully charged,
but none of that makes any difference. I have one board connecting to #0 and the other on #2. When I run a board search, only one will show up which I think is the last one that successfully connected. When I kill the power to one of the v4's, the other connects fine. As some of you probably know, I'm no networking expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm sure I've done right.
Any help would really be appreciated with solving this.
Thanks for the reply Boris.
I think what you're refering to is the "Add Reservation" as it's called on the Superhub 2. That is where I enter the data such as a divice name, MAC address, and enter or change the IP address, similar to your screen shot. Unfortunately this didn't work for me.
@Steve
another test:
if your EZB4 (no1) has 192.168.0.30 (and is connected to your WLAN) so write to your Internet-Explorer this Adress. If you see the EZB WebInterface is ok!
if your EZB4 (no2) has 192.168.0.31 (and is connected to your WLAN) so write to your Internet-Explorer this Adress. If you see the EZB WebInterface is ok!
If you see all two Web Interfaces, the EZB4 are correct connected to yur WLAN.

PS:
Then the problem must be somewhere else
Hey @Steve G,
I have done some tests with different router brands but I've never had access to a Virgin media router. Personally I've had lots of success with D-link routers.
One thing to keeping in mind is radio interference between ez-b's, you'll want to keep them at least a couple feet apart when pinging for them.
(This should be post #22, but the post have jumped out of order.)
Thanks for the reply Jeremie, I appreciate it.
With the amount of routers available on the market, I get why haven't tried a virgin hub. I have to say though, I'm not about to purchase a new router just to fix this issue as I hope you'll agree, I really shouldn't have to.
The distance between boards is interesting though. With different IP's, I wouldn't of though that would have made a difference. I'll have to give that a try.
I think I did it right. Both boards are showing up, but still only one or the other v4 returns a ping result and connects to one project. I'm now at a loss of what to do now so I've ditched using the second board and going to use an SSC32 controller instead as I have been delayed enough, I've got rather fed up with trying different ways of getting these two to work together, resetting my router multiple times (quite time consuming and a pain), and not wanting to risk changing any other router settings as like I've said already, networking is not a strong point for me.
Im really not happy about this as it really should not be this difficault to achieve. The way I see it, not everyone (including myself) is well versed in networking, and shouldn't have to go through all this just to connect multiple v4's to one project which ARC is made to do. It's great that some don't have an issue using more than one board, but for the rest of us, it's a pain in the neck to say the least.
I'm still on the look out for a solution to this, but for now I just want to say a huge thanks to Alan, Richard, and Boris for you help. I am greatful even if it didn't sound like it in previous posts here. I'd still like some kind of input from the EZ Robot guys to hear their thoughts to why I'm having hear problems.
@Steve, my router cost me $34 (CAD).... It's a dlink and works perfectly.... I had connection issues in the past but my dlink fixed them all... Anyway, we're all basically playing with toys here (that we call robots)... no need to get so worked up about it. It's just a hobby for most of us... Have a beer and chill...
You are right Richard, it is a hobby for me too, and something I like to do and enjoy to help take my mind off the stress of every day life I seem to be going through recently. It's just frustrating when something such as this issue, that should be seeming simple, doesn't work the way it should, and frustrates me more when I spend hours troubleshooting without a solution which ends up being not so much fun as it should be.
I still refuse to get another router for now at least just for this problem on princible, even if there are others that may be better and reasonably priced. It's enough that I had to buy a new laptop just so I could use AP mode on occasions due to the HP wireless adapter issue which I know is not ezrobots fault. I don't have a such disposable income now that I used to due to having to give up work for family reasons, and I've spent quite enough getting stuff for my latest project as it is.
Anyway, I (as always) appreciate your and the others help and advice, and I'll keep checking if a solution presents itself for this topic.
Cheers "Clink!".
@Steve @Richard
Cheers too!
Boris
