Not connecting to wifi

It seems that this board doesn't connect to wifi at all. I followed a tutorial Arduino Uno WiFI Turn LED On and Off – Eli the Computer Guy which didn't work (not surprised), then i tired one from the arduino website (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/WiFiNINAAPSimpleWebServer) and that didn't work either. It complies correctly but it just does nothing. i also set the correct board and port on the ide. Am i doing something wrong or is the board defective?

  • Which version of IDE are you using?
  • Does the Blink example properly works?
  • SSID and PASS should be of 8 digits under the AP_SimpleWebServer sketch
  • Can you please share the screenshot of the serial monitor after uploading the sketch?
  • Make sure, your Mega AVR should be updated to 1.8.5 under IDE->Tool->Boards->boards manager->megaAVR
