Hi everyone,
I just got the official Arduino Wifi Shield. I can successful connect to a wifi network but can't load a simple website like Google. I copied it straight from the example but changed my WiFI information. What do I need to do to get it work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The serial monitor response I get is as follows:
Attempting to connect to SSID: Network
Connected to WiFi Network!
SSID: Network
IP Address: 10.0.0.19
Signal Strength (RSSI):-45 dBm
Starting connection to server...
failed to connect!
disconnecting from server.
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
char ssid[] = "Network"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "Password"; // your network password
int keyIndex = 0; // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP)
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
// if you don't want to use DNS (and reduce your sketch size)
// use the numeric IP instead of the name for the server:
//IPAddress server(74,125,232,128); // numeric IP for Google (no DNS)
char server[] = "www.google.com"; // name address for Google (using DNS)
// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
WiFiClient client;
void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
// don't continue:
while(true);
}
// attempt to connect to Wifi network:
while (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");
Serial.println(ssid);
// Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// wait 10 seconds for connection:
delay(10000);
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi Network!");
printWifiStatus();
Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect(server, 80)) {
Serial.println("connected to server");
// Make a HTTP request:
client.println("GET /search?q=arduino HTTP/1.1");
client.println("Host: www.google.com");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println();
} else {
Serial.println("failed to connect!");
}
}
void loop() {
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
while (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.write(c);
}
// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting from server.");
client.stop();
// do nothing forevermore:
while(true);
}
}
void printWifiStatus() {
// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your WiFi shield's IP address:
IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(ip);
// print the received signal strength:
long rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
Serial.print("Signal Strength (RSSI):");
Serial.print(rssi);
Serial.println(" dBm");
