CC3000 Won't Connect to WEP Network

Post by tking2097 »

I have the CC3000 breakout board connected to an Arduino Uno as others have documented. I edited the BuildTest code constants for my wireless network:

#define WLAN_SSID "PJKVG" // cannot be longer than 32 characters!
#define WLAN_PASS "3ADDF1FB9A"
#define WLAN_SECURITY WLAN_SEC_WEP

After compiling and uploading the code, the CC3000 returns shows the following on the Arduino Serial Monitor:

Initialising the CC3000 ...
Firmware V. : 1.19
MAC Address : 0x08 0x00 0x28 0x57 0x35 0x20
Started AP/SSID scan

Networks found: 5
================================================
SSID Name : PJKVG
RSSI : 69
Security Mode: 1

Attempting to connect to PJKVG
Started AP/SSID scan

Connecting to PJKVG...SSID connection failed
Failed!

It is apparent that the Arduino Uno and CC3000 are connected and talking, since the CC3000 reports back it's firmware version and MAC address. The CC3000 sees and reports the SSID of the wireless network, but the CC3000 never connects to the wireless network. I have several wireless laptops, Apple and Android devices that connect and work fine. Is there some other constant I need to change, or other tidbit I have overlooked??

Any suggestions or ideas for what is needed to allow the CC3000 to connect to the network?

Thanks!
Tom

Update: The CC3000 which failed to connect to my Verizon router using WEP, connected to my new Adafruit Raspberry Pi Tor Proxy using WPA2 on the first try!

In order to connect to the Raspberry Pi Tor Proxy, the only changes to the Arduino code needed were:

1. Change WLAN_SSID, WLAN_PASS to the SSID and passcode used by the Raspberry Pi Tor Proxy

2. Change WLAN_SECURITY from WLAN_SEC_WEP to WLAN_SEC_WPA2.

So it appears there is some issue connecting the Verizon FIOS router setup by Verizon for WEP. Yes, I know, Verizon may not know better, but I do need to update this to WPA2 asap.

OBTW - The Adafriut Raspberry Pi Tor Proxy Rocks!!
