Problems with Flashair

[silversnore]

I am having problems with my flashair again.  This seems to be a new one, I get some intermittent transmissions here and there.  Most of time flashpap does not seem to be able to find the card. I have scanned the devices in the house and most of the time I can not find the flashair card.  I have pinged the address with no result   Here is my config file:

#Sun Oct 22 09:56:28 EDT 2017
DNSMODE=0
APPMODE=5
CID=02544d535731364740d5021579010c01
NOISE_CANCEL=0
APPNETWORKKEY=**********
PRODUCT=FlashAir
APPNAME=flashair
APPSSID=MBA
LOCK=1
APPAUTOTIME=0
VENDOR=TOSHIBA
CIPATH=/DCIM/100__TSB/FA000001.JPG
VERSION=FA9CAW3AW3.00.01

I had my computer worked on and replaced the mother board, the old wireless card was not compatible.  I currently use an USB device for wireless, the computer is hooked straight into the router as well.  Occasionally the card will transmit to the wireless usb and sometimes when I take the usb device out, I can access over the router, any one have any ideas?  I have had the card about 9 months.

Thanks

I would suggest setting the FlashAir to a static IP address.  Here is a static configuration that works.

DHCP_Enabled=NO
IP_Address= Your IP Address
Subnet_Mask=255.255.255.0
APPMODE=5
APPNAME=FlashAIr
PRODUCT=FlashAir
VENDOR=TOSHIBA
APPSSID=Your Wireless AP's SSID (name) (Note: This value is case sensitive (e.g.: "Phrase" and "phrase" are are regarded as two different values)
LOCK=1
DNSMODE=1
APPAUTOTIME=0
COMMAND=fat cp /SD_WLAN/BCONFIG 1:/BCONFIG
MASTERCODE=Your Master Code 12 Hexadecimal Characters
UPLOAD=1
APPNETWORKKEY= Your Wireless AP's password Note: This is case sensitive too!
STA_RETRY_CT=0

Finally, you will have to replace the asterisks with the correct password in the APPNETWORKKEY parameter anytime you edit the CONFIG file. If you don't the SD card will try using the asterisks as the password and fail connecting.

I hope this may help.

Thanks Red,

Where would I find the mastercode?

You can make it up.  Mine is 00223f032dca.   I can't remember if it was the card's default value or it was assigned by FlashPAP or Sleep Master.  Someone else here used 123456789abc.

Same problems as before, however now I cant scan my network and find the flashair broadcasting at all, wondering if I need a new card?

[Crimson Nape]

Can you connect to your FlashAir via your web browser?  Just type in the IP address 10.200.14.120 in the URL box.

Edit: I re-read your last post and see that I was reading "cant" as "can". What are your addresses for your gateway and the DHCP range?

[Crimson Nape]

I came up with some other questions while thinking about your problem.

1. What Operating System are you using?
   
2. Are you testing the card’s connectivity from the CPAP or your computer’s SD slot?
   
3. What is the approximate distance between your CPAP and the access point?
   
4. Are there any 2.4Ghz devices in between your CPAP and the access point (e.g.: microwave, 2.4Ghz wireless telephone base unit,  or 2.4Ghz home automation)?
   
5. What data download program are you using, Sleep Master or FlashPAP?

That is a weird IP address to assign to the card, did you get that from an IP search?  If you're on a router, the IP should be 192.168.X.Y, where X is 0, 1, or 2 depending on the router, and Y is within the range of 2-256 (anything other than 1, since the router will be 1).

Not really. 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 is private along with 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 and 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255. None of those are routable to WAN.
