Wifi Shield not working

[DavidOConnor]

I recently bought the Adafruit Wifi shield and am having some trouble getting it working. The buildtest sketch loops forever at the checkDHCP loop. If I use a static IP address (which is what I ultimately need to do) it loops forever at the getHostByName loop. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the output of the buildtest sketch:

Check your router settings - you may have MAC address filtering turned on.

[DavidOConnor]

Thanks for the suggestion, but MAC filtering is disabled.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Well, it's something to do with your router setup. The CC3000 is obviously working, and you've got the correct SSID and password set. At this point, the ball is in the router's court.

[DavidOConnor]

Thanks Rick. The router works fine with my Mac Book, iPad, iPhone and Windows PC. Can you give me some guidance on how to configure the router to be compatible with the shield? Is there any way to see what the shield does not like about the router?

[adafruit_support_rick]

WireShark might give you some clues. I don't know if there's any debug output from the CC3000 library itself.

Some routers will allow a device to "associate", but not "connect". That would be in the router setup someplace.

What kind of router is it? What address range are you using?

[DavidOConnor]

I've never used Wireshark on a wireless connection. Can you explain how that works? The router is an Actiontec M1424-WR. The address range is 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254

[adafruit_support_rick]

I have the very same router. You've got FiOS?
It's been a long time since I did anything with wireshark. But, if I recall correctly, you attach it to a wireless port on your computer, and set it for promiscuous mode. You should be able to see the DHCP negotiations.
