First a little background.. I have over a dozen WiFi devices that all access the router which does NOT broadcast its SSID, every device is assigned a static IP on the device itself as opposed to DHCP IP reservations by the router, and I use MAC filtering so that only devices whose MAC address I have entered are allowed to connect. Never a problem with all this.
I finally got the WFL to connect only after broadcasting the SSID, enabling DHCP on the router and disabling MAC address filtering. The router shows it as connected but I still cannot access the WFL GUI except via my cell phone using the WFL AP. Of course I have rebooted the router several times and nothing changes.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to reset the WFL back to out of box condition?
Thanks
In WFL static IP is also available, but I have just noticed that I didn't named that. You have to set DHCP: Disable for static IP. Then IP settings in forms will be used(after reboot).
I have just tested "Hiden ESSID" and it works on WFL.
Mac filtering is on router side, but you should just add MAC of WFL to the list.
WFL it's 2.4GHz only.
There was an option in old firmware to keep touching red button for 15 sec. to clear settings, but I have wipe it out, because somebody could keep touching red button to enable setup mode. Now to clear settings you have to use edit tool.
http://WFL_IP/edit, if youd don't have it, just download from here:
http://wifilogger.net/files/edit.zipGo to Setup|System and use "HTML upload" form to upload this edit.html file (not zip, unpack first).
Go to
http://WFL_IP/edit right click on JSON files one by one: config.json, stationconfig.json, secret.json and delete. Then reboot (white button, SETUP|SYSTEM reboot button);
There is no reason why you don't have access to WFL when it's connected to router.
When WFL is connected to router.
- use red button for setup mode
- use cell phone to open GUI and go to SETUP|Network Info, there you will find local IP assigned by DHCP from router + Mac addresses.
- use this local IP to access from PC.
- reboot to disable setup mode after job done. In setup mode WFL will not connect to the Internet. Local network yes, but exports will not work.
Check router for settings like Wireless client isolation.
