Setting up myRIO wifi

[rdoswald]

I used to be able to connect to the myRIO wirelessly, but that was about 3 years ago.  I recently tried to connect to it and the myRIO doesn't show in my wireless networks.  I went to set up the wireless network and the "create wireless network" didn't show up.  I read that could be because I need to update the drivers.  I updated the drivers and now "create wireless network" does show up.  I follow the instructions to set up the wifi, but it still will not set up the wireless network.  What is the problem?  If this has already been discussed, sorry, but please show link.

I forgot to mention that under "Wireless Adapter wlan0" the "Status" just says "scanning" and never changes to "connected"

Make sure you are not forgetting to set your country. Also it seems like you are trying to setup your myRIO in an access point (AP) mode, can you confirm?

If you can please post your MAX technical report so we can see what is installed on your computer, see this KB. 

Lastly, can you connect to an existing Wifi instead of making an AP mode?

Hello Miro_T,

I am trying to setup the myRIO as an access point.  It does the same thing when trying to connect to an existing Wifi; the wlan0 status never changes from scanning. 

I attached the MAX simple report.  I can do the other ones if you need.

thanks.

I guess there was something up with the computer I was using.  I brought in my laptop and updated the myrio software using my laptop and the wifi works fine now.

Thanks for an update and I'm glad you got it working! Maybe there are some OS differences? I noticed you are using 2013 NI software which means that would not Support Windows 10 since that came out in 2014.... just some thoughts...
