As mentioned in the thread, it’s not like I can never use it, but even if it’s “green”, roughly 9 out of 10 times transfer fails.
Are you transferring a patch or something else?
It could be that the signal strength is weak. The wifi transceiver on the expander is not as powerful as a normal desktop or laptop, so in general you’ll need to have a solid signal from the Wifi Expander to your wifi router. Then of course you’ll need a good signal from your computer to the wifi router. Note that it doesn’t matter if the computer and Wifi Expander are near each other – the thing that matters is the distance to the wifi router (and all obstacles in between).
You could try moving the MetaModule and Wifi Expander to the room where the router is just to see if that helps.
Lots of other things can cause wifi issues – excessive traffic on the network, interference from other wifi networks (try changing the wifi channel in your router settings?)
I’m not really sure it’s about wifi strength because it happens even if i physically put MM next to my router. Also last night I noticed another thing that I didn’t notice before (since I needed to move a patch, obviously once it’s through succesfully, i didn’t try again and again, but this time i did): once it “works”, it works flawlessly for ~10 minutes. after that if it fails again once, it never works until i reboot the device.
I’m having similar issues all of a sudden. Was working for a couple weeks flawlessly, now I’m not able to connect. I’m kinda at a loss. using dev. 12.2.
Hmm… ok so if it’s not signal strength, perhaps it’s this other bug I’ve been trying to hunt down. Do you have a MIDI controller connected? Try disconnecting that and see if the Wifi expander works better.
nope, nothing connected
I updated to Dev 12.5 ver. 2 and initially it wouldn’t connect, until I removed the forward slash at the end of the URL: http://192.168.86.243/ that I entered into Meta Module in VCV Rack.
http://192.168.86.243 works but not http://192.168.86.243/
For now that seems to have fixed it!
i don’t know if something changed, but i updated to 12.5 as well, i had no problem reaching the web interface in the last couple of hours (tested like 5-6 times out of curiosity). will test more trying to send patches from VCV later today.
