# WizFi310 EVKit network scan and join

## Question

Asked by djdjdjole on 2017-05-16 in Wireless.

My first contact with EVK for Wiznet310 and few questions arose. Module shows (while scanning) two wireless networks, while my laptop (few centimeters away) shows 5 of them. Interestingly one of those the module shows doesn’t appear at laptop list. This should be first unusual matter.
Next, I successfully joined the network that only module finds, with DHCP enabled. Then I red the address assigned to module and afterwards try to ping itself but it expressed timeout (the same happened when I tried pinging assigned gateway).
I forgot to say that I am working exclusively by the help of terminal program (Hercules).

Thanks

Dear djdjdjjole

Would you mind to attach a screenshot or picture that make us understand a current situation?
Then, we will try to figure out what is problem quickly.

Tom

I hope I successfully attached an image. Here, I want to add that I soon found that pinging 192.168.1.1 works, and 192.168.1.186 does not.
I intentionally erased the first command after reset (echo suppress) in order for picture to have enough place to show communication strings.

I noticed my error- didn’t read the lines that say AT+WJOIN=? doesn’t return actual info (but rather from memory). Then I suppose my IP is 192.168.1.186. However it doesn’t reply to ping request. It seems that 192.168.1.186 is not my IP address, but I don’t know what it represents in string response. In that case how can I learn it (IP address) ?

Regards

And I forgot to send screenshot of scanning process - module vs laptop.

PS I was informed that I should consider replying in one post. However don’t know whether I can attach few pictures in one post, so I did it this way.

Hello,

If signal’s power is weak, it won’t be search.

< AT+FPING >

First, you should check the firmware version.
You can check and download a latest version in following.
<http://wizwiki.net/wiki/doku.php?id=products:wizfi310:wizfi310firmware:start>

Second, you should disable to firewall related with ping.

And then try it again.

Thanks, regards.
