I bought an MRK1000, I just want to connect to my WiFi, I have some experience with Arduino and WiFi mainly on the ESP8226.
I installed everything correctly. I replaced the correct SSID and Password (I used the credentials already sucessfull with ESP8226 so there is no room for typing error) The code is correct and uploading without any fails.
My problem is no matter what WiFi code I use the board is just Attempting to connect forever, is it broken or something? Its new do I need to do something on the hardware? :
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
Attempting to connect to SSID: XXXXXX
In that case I used the following tutorial and the code to try to connect:
The only code that was working was one to show WiFi Hotspots around here, please I hope someone can help me it really drives me crazy slowly, many thanks in advance...
I fixed the issue, the problem was the WiFi101 Library was not matching the Firmware of the MRK1000, I had to make an update - examples - firmware updater and then tools firmware updater.
... took me way to long to find that out but I am happy its working now...
Thanks for posting your solution.
Hopefully it helps somebody else.

Hi, can you please help/share with me as to how you fixed the MKR1000 problem? I get this error message when try to load an application (and I don't quite understand the situation):
Arduino: 1.8.12 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino MKR1000"
fork/exec /Users/kapilchandrasekhar/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory
Error compiling for board Arduino MKR1000.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
Have you successfully connected any Arduino?
I am very inexperienced with Arduino, but since you have no replies, I will try to help.
Reading your message, it looks like you are missing the compiler. You can go to the finder and follow the path shown and see if you have the compiler: MacintoshHD -> Users -> kapilchandrasekhar -> Library -> Arduino15 -> packages -> arduino -> tools -> arm-none-eabi-gcc -> 7-2017q4 -> bin and in that directory make sure you have the file "arm-none-eabi-g++". If that is not there, you should reinstall the Arduino 1.8.12.
But, that confuses me because Arduino is AVR not ARM, so maybe you have the wrong compiler. I cannot find the information on how to change that, From what I can find, the "Programmer" setting is not supposed to matter if you are using a USB cable. But try this: make sure you have the Arduino MKR1000 board selected in Tools->Board. My Programmer setting is "AVRISP mkII". Select that in Tools->Programmer, then select Tools -> Burn Bootloader.
If you still get the same, try a new USB cable.
Hopefully someone will read this and make corrections and clarifications to my guess.
