Can you try doing the “manual” setup? (You won’t need to connect your computer to Wi-Fi.)

  1. Put your photon into listening mode.

  2. Run the command: particle serial identify

  3. Copy the Device ID.

  4. Run the command: particle serial wifi

  5. Follow the steps to select your Wi-Fi network.

  6. Let the photon reboot and connect to the cloud (breathing cyan).

  7. Run the command: particle device add PASTED-DEVICE-ID

This should get the photon connected to Wi-Fi and claimed to your account.

You can rename the photon with: particle device rename PASTED-DEVICE-ID NEW-NAME
