I am sure following the instructions should do it. Simply connect the wifi to the ttl usb then open arduino next set the serial port to the specified com that the ttl is on. open the serial monitor type in +++ and hit send. You should receive +ok as a response, this should remove it from auto mode. From there you can use the wifi software to programm the wifi card.

I did this setup
SETUP LINK
get to setup auto mode and here is what i get
~~~server address~~~
0.0.0.0 stays connected to router
192.168.1.1 cycles every 10 seconds
192.168.1.139 does not connect
i can ping fine when connected to router.
a free virtual serial port thanks @robotmaker
virtual serial port
but won't connect with any settings i put in server address and yes every thing is all set to 9600.
also set port forward 192.168.1.139 to port 8090
Don't know where to go from here,wish i was smarter *stress*
I'd also put a timeout in there, 120 should be fine but up it if you feel you need to.
i havent tested it yet on EZB waiting on RJ45 protoboard board to come in to have both WIFI and wired network on EZB,i think both should work ok
only thing i check that the virtual port shows up on EZB as com 5 and on my computer
may be your board it bad or ?
have you tested it with the software from elechouse
2~have you tested it with the software from elechouse ( yes )
3~ it being set to server not client ( ok i will check that )
thanks this is driving me nuts and can't put computer on rc robot.If i get this to work (make me happy) and @Dj will have a new way to sell his product that we all love.
other item check your EZB again with bluetooth to see if your EZB is ok
another item last resort switch the pins tx and rx
there are other tests to try,i forgot the name right now but you need to tie tx and rx on wifi board and use term program
second is you wifi on your computer setup and wifi board on computer shows it listed
at networking i am very good at it
Still trying
Found a fix, When using independent battery supplies to power the WiFi board and the EZ-B, the batteries need to share a common ground.
