RN-131 WiFly Module

[gavo]

Hi All,

Has anyone played with the RN-131 WiFly Module?, I have one and been playing about and seem to have everything working except trying to log onto an Access Point, I can keep getting the error AUTH-ERR, if someone could help me see where I am going wrong that would help allot!,

Many Thanks,

Regards,

Gavo

You have set wlan phrase <mVT6705985> and set wlan pass <mVT6705985> both seem incorrect according to following.

In the PDF page 27 I got from here http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002230B.pdf it says

If the access point is secure, the passphrase must be set prior to issuing the join
command. The RN module attempts to inquire and determine the access point’s
security protocol which means the authentication mode does not need to be set. To set
the WPA passphrase use the set wlan passphrase <string> command.

For WEP,
set the key using the set wlan key <value> command.

Could this be your problem, I would also have turned off encryption when testing, when that is working then try with encryption.

I found the problem - have it working now, I put the Password as set wlan passphrase <gavo1234> and it should of been set wlan passphrase gavo1234

All working now and thanks for the help!
