So I have been having trouble connecting my scope to my wifi network. I have correctly entered in all software keys so that the wifi option is enabled. I have also updated to the most recent firmware version 7.1.6.1.26. I am using the siglent official TP-Link TL-WN725N wifi adapter and the device recognizes this adapter when it is plugged in (the little green LED also blinks).
That all sounds OK.
My DHCP setting is turned on.
This is where I had trouble as DHCP ON doesn't always negotiate a valid IP so I found it best to leave DHCP OFF and to enter the IP, Subnet and Gateway manually and Save them.
When I enter in the wifi network name and password (which I have verified are both correct many times), it says "connecting" and then it will fail to connect with the message "WLAN connection failed". Figuring that maybe it was a bad wifi adapter, I plugged it into my desktop and successfully connected to that same WIFI network without problems.
Yes, initially when the IP configuration is incorrect, it appears to get a connection and then it's quickly lost.
I have no idea what to do next. I have tried resetting my router, changing the name of the wifi network, changing the wifi network password, reflashing the firmware on the scope, and a number of other things. What should my next step be?
Ensure your SSID and PSK are correct first.
Ensure you have all your LAN IP details correct and insert them into the scope manually, it's quite quick to do using the multipurpose control with a twist and press to enter and lock in the correct digits. It auto jumps to the next field for the next entry.
Be sure to enter them correctly and just as your DOS box 'ipconfig' (or whatever your PC OS uses) 'find IP' command returns for them.
So say your gateway is 192.168.1.1.......enter this in the Gateway field and for the scope IP set a higher #, say 192.168.1.75
Subnet is normally but not always 255.255.255.0
Save.
Did you hear me say Save !
Now settings will be all visible in LAN settings......leave them as they are and DHCP OFF.
Tips
Do initial tests close to your WiFi router....I've had some WiFi range issues and you'll drive yourself around the bend trying to figure out what the hell is going on so by working close in initially you'll remove any possible range issues from the connection hassles/equation until you get a rock solid WiFi connection.
Write your settings down.
Consider re-siting your WiFi router if range is an issue.
