Just got my 9400 today and first job was to get it connected to the network.

Using my usual WEP setting i cannot get the 9400 to connect - will it not show connected until it finds an expander ?

My RFX9600 is still in its box :)

So far i've spent most of the evening messing with this rather than getting on with the important stuff...

Thanks

It will show connected once it registers itself using DHCP with your router.

In order for anyone to even think about assisting, please provide more information such as router type, your WEP settings, etc...

Duh yeah - should have given all the info.

Well - i bought 2 x 9400's - one for office one for home. Office one connected fine - 64bit WEP - 10 digit ASCII code (like DEAB123456), fixed IP, old netgear wireless 'b' only AP.

Home one still no joy - 128bit WEP - 13 digit ASCII (like this 01234567890DB) seem to have no choice but use Capital's - have put this in passkey and hex boxes, Draytek Vigor 2600G using B + G setting, tried fixed IP and DHCP. Currently have 2 x Viewsonic Smart Displays and 1 x Nokia N800 all sitting on the wireless network no problem...

Any suggestions appreciated - its distracting me from using it as a remote :)

TIA

I find that some devices generate a different hex key from the same pass phrase. Since most devices will not show the hex key, one does not know for sure that this is the issue. It's a little more trouble, but more and more I'm simply using the full hex key. Now, new devices connect to the access point on the first try.

B*gger me you're right !!

Very confusing...

My router instructions :-

For 64 bit WEP key
Type 5 ASCII character or 10 Hexadecimal digits leading by "0x", for example "AB312" or "0x4142333132".

Which i did admittedly using their example.

My laptop had to use AB312, the router 0x4142333132, and the Pronto did this when pasted in 04142333132.

And now its connected :)

Hopefully everything else wireless will connect now....

Help. I have a new 9400 as of today. I am in the settings on the network page. How do I change the SSID to map to my home network SSID?

Scott

darbywedb - FYI, I had 2 different XCF files. Both of them had identical settings in System Properties - their TCP/IP related settings were identical. In both XCF files, I had specified the value for "Passphrase". With the first XCF, my TSU9400 could connect just fine to my router. With the second XCF, it could not connect. I couldn't ping it from my PC, and it just said "Connecting...". I then changed the second XCF to specify the "HEX Key" instead of "Passphrase" in System Properties->Wireless Settings. Once I changed to using "HEX Key" (which my Linksys Wireless Access Point fortunately displays), the second XCF was able to connect okay. Thus, there seems to be an issue with the Pronto using the Passphrase reliably, at least based on my aforementioned experience.

Scott - you'll need to go into your router (or wireless access point) settings to determine what SSID it is using, and provide the same value to Pronto. To get to your router, it's usually http://192.168.1.1 for Linksys and for D-Link http://192.168.0.1.

Similar question, When I go to my linksys webpage, it shows SSID as "Linksys"...I'm sure there has to be a number to put in. Any ideas...My new 9600 should be next week. Thanks

SSID is just a text label. It can be anything, but you must be consistent in that all devices need to know it. It can be a number if you wish as a number is a special case of text

Thank you Barry...

Your router is set to the default SSID. You can change it to customize it as you wish, but ensure that the router and its
a clients all use the same value.
