I encountered an issue when I first got my mesh devices a few weeks ago, where I could never get endpoints to join a mesh hosted by either an Argon or a Xenon/etherwing combination – they would fast-blink green forever, even though the gateways would connect fine. To make a long story short, the fir…

Interesting. I heard internally that it was a DNS thing.

It might be, it’s just my semi-educated guess that DHCP might be at least involved :wink:

I’m almost certain it’s this . @rickkas7 linked me that in another thread, so I fired up wireshark and saw nd6 packets. When I killed the source of the nd6 packets, the problems stopped. In my case, the nd6 packets were being sent out by odhcpd running on an openwrt access point. As far as I underst…

So, I guess I shouldn’t wait up for my Xenon to finish joining my network? Three (3) tries on each of three (3) different Xenons, similar results: Quick flash green on the Xenon, breathing cyan on my Argon but I’ve also seen fast cyan on the Xenon with breathing cyan on my Argon. Router = Xfinity …

That’s interesting, when I was having the problem, my endpoint Xenon would always get past the adding Xenon to mesh network step, but would hang on Starting a secure session with the Particle cloud via Gateway step. I have no idea what that tells us, but it looks different than my issue. J

Try a non Samsung phone. I used a iPad pro 11 to setup everything since my Samsung Note 9 was having issues during setup.

Thanks, @jimbol & @RWB . Unfortunately, we might not have the device here I’ll need to get this to work. I tried my wife’s iPhone 7 but no luck. I then tried to see if I could use my old Motorola Droid but that would only allow me to load Particle v2.2.2 instead of the current v2.3.5. I also tried my…

Well, my wife’s iPad Air (iOS12.1) at least gets me to the “starting a secure session with the Particle cloud via Gateway” but stops there. I’ve exhausted our resources; we have no more phones, iPads, or tablets to try. I guess I’ll wait for some patches to come out! I’m not overly concerned as I h…

Thanks (all) for notes about cases that are not working. For what it’s worth (who’s keeping track?), I’ve got the Ubiquity “Amplifi” home router, using Comcast as ISP, and the initial (Spectra 2018 hardware kit) Xenon pair and Etherwing work well together. DHCP is issuing IPv4 locally. I don’t know…

That is the same problem I am having. It connects to the wifi once during setup, then after about 30 seconds, it begins searching for the internet, never to connect again. I have an Xfinity router, also.

We are still testing rc.26 – a regression was found which has to be addressed. Keep an eye on the issues/fixes thread for updates.
