Excitedly flashed the sd and powered it all up. of all the technical faults or issues I expected to face, what I didn't bank on was not being able to connect it to wifi - just goes round in a perpetual loop of putting in the wifi password, thinks about it and then says not connected and brings up the password pop up again. It recognises my wifi networks fine (and the password I am entering is correct - I double checked!). It just won't connect to wifi. Very frustrating. Any suggestions? ok, so I just powered up my other unit without flashing it and it works fine, so something happened in reflashing to muck up the wifi connectivity. Question is now how do I fix that? and now after an hour's use, the other unit has dropped off the wifi and won't reconnect. Brilliant. Never had any issues like this with the Apollo 1 units. Right now I have 2 expensive bricks taking up space in my office Wifi on our controllers are finicky, needs to be close range to the router and mixed 2.4/5GHz networks dont work well. Best is to seperate SSID for 2.4 and connect to just the 2.4 SSID. Apollo 1 wifi has been bullet proof so does the Apollo 2 use an inferior interface? I'm using the 2 at the same distance as I've always used the 1. Nothing seems to be working to resolve the wifi conenction issue. Hard wiring seems the only solution which kind of makes the whole concept a bit pointless. If you have an early Apollo I with MCU1 that tended to be a more reliable wifi controller than MCU2 units that ship on later Apollo 1/2s. Wifi is also effected by many things, just the cases differences between the two units can cause much difference. Have you tried it on a 2.4ghz only SSID? yes, i've done this and it makes no difference unfortunately.
