Unable to access Falcon via wifi interface

[scardus]

Running Falcon F16v4 with firmware build 10.

I've currently got my new Falcon connected via ethernet to a RaspPI running FPP on a separate show network. I can access my Falcon's web interface via the FPP proxy with no issues. (Show IP 192.168.100.2/24)

I've enabled Wifi on the Falcon to connect to my house wifi with the intention of being able to access it directly and also to allow the Falcon access to the Internet. The Falcon has connected to Wifi, obtained an IP etc without problems. (Wifi IP 192.168.0.58/24)

However, I'm unable to access the Falcon web interface via it's Wifi IP. I get the following error in my browser: "Page not found (ESP)". The falcon's unable to ping the NTP time server I've configured. On the network configuration page, the "Ping" buttons for the wifi's gateway & dns IP's are greyed out, so I can't test connectivity there.

Is this known/intended behaviour? I can still access the Falcon via the FPP proxy, so it's not a massive issue.

The pings being disabled is normal. They only enable when you connect via wifi.

Can you show us your network settings page ... please load it after the wifi connects ... ie the OLED shows the wifi ip address.

Here's the current network settings. There's no Internet gateway on the show network - its just a cable between the RaspPI and the Falcon. I've tried with/without the fpp ip as the ethernet interface gateway just in case.

They look ok. Can you ping 192.168.0.58 from your computer?

Are you running xLights (and a recent version)? If so can you run xScanner from the tools menu ... does it see this device?

Can you show me your PC ipconfig output (or ifconfig if on OSX/Linux)?

[scardus]

Yeah, I can ping the Falcon's Wifi IP no problem - I can also reach it with the web browser, it just returns that 404 error I pasted earlier: "Page not found (ESP)". I can do this from any of my home LAN devices (desktop/laptop etc).

Here's IP config from my desktop PC (with all of the IPv6 stuff removed):

`Ethernet adapter Ethernet 3:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Home Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection #2 Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 24-4B-FE-DD-DA-23 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.20(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 14 October 2021 23:40:01 Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 17 October 2021 23:39:57 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 354700286 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled`

xScanner does pick up both the FPP & Falcon

What web page is the browser trying to access when it has the access issues?

if you try to access http://192.168.0,58/config.html does it work?

[scardus]

I was just trying to access the main page at http://192.168.0.58

Trying the config.html url gives the same 404 error: "Page not found (ESP)".

Do you think I should try a factory reset and config the WiFi side first rather than the show eth0 port?

Thats strange. I just reloaded the release firmware onto my board and it definitely works. Maybe can I suggest you reload the firmware ... maybe the ESP load did not work.

Next step may be to find some time on zoom.

That did it! I didn't try loading the firmware as it was already on the latest build when I bought it.
