So I got a wifi shield for christmas yesterday and I can't get it to work properly. I have successfully connected it to my home network. The IP for the arduino is 192.168.1.26 .
I tryed the WIFI shield example "SimpleWebserverWIFI"
It connects to network properly but when I goto my brower and type in http://192.168.1.26 it won't bring me to a page like it should. Even when it type in http://192.168.1.26/H it won't make the led light up. I cannot access the the arduino from my computer at all. Did I miss a step when setting up my wifi shield?
I have tryed it on chrome, firefox, internet explorer. It just says
" Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.26"
If you have not upgraded your firmware, you probably should. The old firmware has a problem establishing a tcp connection (not radio connection). Try this sketch. If the firmware version is not 1.1.0, then you probably need to upgrade it.
#include <WiFi.h>
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio's status
void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println(F("WiFi shield not present"));
// don't continue:
while(true);
}
// check firmware version
Serial.print(F("Firmware version: "));
Serial.println(WiFi.firmwareVersion());
}
void loop() {
}
