I can get my laptop to recognize the Yun, when I show my "Networks" it lists my MiFi and the Arduino Yun - 90A2DAXXXXX. But it does not connect. I click on "Connect" for the Yun and it comes back with a "Can't connect to this Network" response.
When it shows the list of Networks, the MiFi shows the signal strength bars, and the Yun shows the same signal strength bars but with a little shield with a ! in the shield above the bars. Is that an indicator? This is on Windows 8.0.
I'm just working with my personal laptop, I have to make it work with this anyway.
means laptop and yun is not at same subnet, could make them at same subnet.
Windows 7/8 static IP address setup
Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
Open the Network and Sharing Center.
Select "Change adapter settings" from the menu on the left.
Right-click the Local Area Connection and selet "Properties".
Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)," then click "Properties."
Select 'Use the following IP address,' then enter the following settings in their respective fields:
IP address: 192.168.240.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway and DNS: leave blank
Click 'OK' when finished.

I don't run MS Windows 8, but that shield icon must be there for some reason; does any text pop up when you hover over it? Can you right-click on the network line and get its properties?
Thanks, but if Ethernet means a wired connection then it's a no go. This application has to be wireless. And I bought a Yun precisely for the WiFi capability. I need to solve this problem.
The question seems to be this: What WiFi settings on my laptop would prevent Yun from connecting?
Jos, when I hover over the bars/shield I don't get anything other than "Security: Unsecured" and "Type 802.11n" I presume that a Yun at level 802.11n is compatible with my MiFi/laptop at 802.11g?
Sonny, I ran through your steps, but I don't have a LAN option, just Bluetooth, Ethernet, and WiFi. I changed the WiFi settings per your instructions but that didn't work either. And I think it screwed up my MiFi, it quit after that so I changed it back.
So should I have a LAN connection listed?
And is the 192.168.240.2 that you listed correct? Or should it be 192.168.240.1 like the instructions suggest?

You are right, change WiFi settings. You changed it back is good since It does not work.
No LAN is here.
192.168.240.2 for Windows box.
192.168.240.1 for Yun.
If you have access an other laptop, should give it try. otherwise follow Microsoft solution.
reset-to-factory-anyway will fix software problem of Yun, unless Yun has hardware problem is very unlikely.
Sonny, do I run that /usr/bin/reset-to-factory-anyway via the Serial Monitor to reset it to factory? I tried that a couple times.
Now my laptop is recognizing the Yun, but still can't connect. I have Kaspersky security turned off.
What is different now is that the WLAN blue LED on the YUN is blinking constantly at a fast rate, maybe 2-3 per second.
Jos, just saw your most recent post. I thought Ethernet was a cable connection? Please explain. Ultimately what I need is a wireless connection from my laptop to many Yuns that are remote, using a wireless (WiFi) network hub. Can that be done by Ethernet?

That's no problem; your laptop even noticed that Yun's network is 'open', i.e. no WPA or WEP key are necessary. Can you right click on that network and see all it properties?
When I went into the WiFi properties as Sonny described I noticed there is a dialog box for Network where I selected the Internet protocol version 4, and there also is a box for "Sharing" along with the "Networking" box. Could this be a sharing issue? There is a selection that says "Allow other network users to connect through this computers network connection" and it was unchecked. Another item on that menu was to "Allow other network users to control or disable the shared internet connection". It was checked, but was faded until I checked the box to all other network users, seeming to indicate it isn't active until I allowed sharing.
I tried checking that box to allow other users and it didn't change the ability to connect for my YUN.
In essence: windows does not allow you to connect to an unprotected network for security reasons. Workaround is "to change over to using a Public network"
Step 1: You may also temporarily disable security software’s and check if the issue persists. Make sure to enable those security software's on the computer after checking.
Step 2: Update the network adapter driver.
Step 3: Check if the issue persists in clean boot state.
Step 4: Check if you are able to access internet in safe mode with networking and post back the same.
