OK, so I am trying out the new Spark Photon. It’s too bad I can’t get it connected to the wifi. I went through these steps to connect over usb: http://docs.particle.io/photon/connect/#installing-the-particle-cli When I got to the point for doing particle setup this is basically what happened: C:\…

@SlinkyMation , you may want to edit your post to remove the sensitive info! What type of router are you using? Is it dual band and do both bands have the same SSID? The Photon will only connect to an SSID uniquely associated with a 2.4GHz wifi router band.

Ok, so I am using a dual band router and yes they both have the same SSID. One of the bands is 2.4GHz and the other one is 5.0GHz. Is that a problem?

@SlinkyMation , change the SSID of the 2.4GHz band and connect to that with the Photon.

OK. So I was wrong. The 2.4 GHz band and 5.0 GHz band do have different SSID’s and my Photon was connected to the 2.4 GHz band. So this is not the problem. Any other ideas?

@SlinkyMation , good then that eliminates that problem. Does your SSID or password contain spaces? Have you tried the iOS or Android app for connecting? Since you have CLI installed, you may want to update the system firmware to the latest release: https://github.com/spark/firmware/releases You c…

Hi, Having issue with setting device via iOS app. [image] Device is flashing cyan rapidly with orange. Tried to flash new keys public and private. Refresh firmware and tinker app. With factory reset. No luck

When you reflash keys, be sure to send the new key to the cloud, with particle keys send <device> keyfile

Getting: running dfu-util -l Found DFU device 2b04:d006 running dfu-util -l Found DFU device 2b04:d006 running dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 1 -s 34:612 -U pre_device.der running openssl rsa -in pre_device.der -inform DER -pubout -out pre_device.pub.pem Error saving key from device… Error: Comman…

I’m having a similar issue. I’m connecting to an open wifi network that does not have a captive portal (at least not for me because I whitelisted the Photon’s MAC address). The network has no password so the security is 0…but when I set it up via the serial terminal it still asks for a cipher. I ti…

We are having problems connecting the Photon to a wifi SSID containing spaces. I was reading on the web this is a common issue on Photon. Since we work on a commercial product, we must adjust to our clients’ SSID, so we look for a solution to accept spaces and special characters on SSID. We use API…
