Loss of wifi after firmware update

Troubleshooting
1

Hello, I have a problem :slight_smile:
I updated the M4 to firmware 1.10, following the video. I think I made a mistake because I updated firmware.bin, index.html.gz, and maslow.yaml… without saving mine, of course.
Today, I turned on the M4 and realized I needed to recalibrate because I overwrote the index. Okay.
However, I can’t continue the process. I barely have time to stretch my belts before I systematically lose Wi-Fi.
I’ve searched for a solution based on an AP connection, but it doesn’t seem to solve my problem.
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance for your help.
Gilles.

I setup my Maslow on my HomeLab Wifi.

Never had anyproblems and can surf the web while my maslow is working.

Thanks for your quick reply, Jonathan_Dion. Actually, I see I expressed myself very poorly. I don’t connect to the Wi-Fi where the M4 is located; I connect to the Maslow network via Chrome. I should point out that previously, the M4, with firmware 1.04, worked fine and maintained the connection for the required amount of time. It’s since updating the three files that it keeps disconnecting…
Thanks for any help. Gilles.

Je vais essayer en Français, au cas ou c’est plus facile pour vous.

Est-ce que vous vous connectez directement sur le point d’accès “Maslow” généré par votre Maslow ?

Si oui, il serait peut etre préférable de faire les étapes mentionner plus haut. Branché votre Maslow a votre Wifi. J’ai ainsi un bien meilleur stabilité.

Merci pour votre retour, ainsi que vos efforts de langage :slight_smile: . Je me connecte effectivement au réseau maslow, ce que je faisais auparavant déjà, sans jamais de décrochage. Je suis loin du router, et donc en bout de capacité de réception du wifi à l’atelier, il faut que je vois ce qu’il est possible de faire… Merci !

Hello,
I’m sharing the solution I found online.
Actually, when I upgraded (under duress…) to Windows 11, it seems to have affected the connection to the M4. Windows tests network connections, and since there’s no internet connection, it disconnects it…
So, you need to go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
, look for a value named EnableActiveProbing. If it exists, double-click it; if it doesn’t, right-click in the window, New, DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it EnableActiveProbing.
In the box that opens, enter:
Value = 0
Base = Hexadecimal

Close Regedit. Restart your PC to apply the changes.

Merci :wink:

Looses connection with PC: Win11 or just trouble?

I have a PR pending that should trick the windows systems into thinking that the maslow AP does provide Internet access.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to remember the tricks needed to compile the firmware on my linux system, so I haven’t tested it it on real hardware (but the coderabbit review shows that it knows what captive portals are and how they are detected, so I have high confidence that they code is correct)

anyone able to test the firmware can try adding this PR trick captive portal tests by davidelang · Pull Request #277 · BarbourSmith/FluidNC · GitHub
