NeTV not connecting to internet

Post by rhythmbeats »

I just received my NeTV starter pack today (https://www.adafruit.com/products/609) but unable to connect it to the internet. I tried plugging it in to the TV and using the on screen wifi connection menu. It says it connected, then it asks me to press any key to reboot. Upon reboot, it takes me back to the same wifi menu again. If I try to enter the wifi pw again, it says failed. Tried this a few times, and it just doesn't stay connected.

I then tried to connect it using the command line config as indicated here http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title ... figuration. Unfortunately, it keeps timing out at just the first step.

Please help. Thanks!

Does your router have MAC address filtering enabled?

No I don't have it enabled.

Also, shouldn't my computer recognize the NeTV as a device when I plug it in directly to the computer?

You mean via the microUSB port? I think that's just for power.

My understanding is that its not for power only, which is why we were trying command line confi (http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title ... figuration). Is this not supported?

What is the way to directly interface with the device if wifi is not available? We are trying the command line config only because wifi is not working.

But going back also to the original issue, how do we get the wifi to register?

I'm going to have to pass this along to somebody else - I don't have a NeTV, so I don't know the answers.
Ping me here if you don't hear anything in a day or so.
