can't connect (solution: power via DC jack, also: verify baud rate)

[schnapp]

I'm following instructions from http://digistump.com/wiki/digix/tutorials/wifi
The DigiX shows up with its SSID "DIGIX".
When I want to connect to it though, it says:
"The WiFi network "DIGIX" could not be joined" (OS X 10.9.2)
"Unable to join the network "DIGIX"" (iOS7.06)

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Managed to connect after powering the board thru the DC jack.
Added a note to the Wiki.
Can reach the Settings page now, hope everything goes smoothly from here...

OK, not exactly smooth, but at least I'm now connected (finally).

One more thing I noticed:
After a factory restore the baud rate is at 115200 while most of the example code uses 9600 baud. So either adapt the latter or change the settings.

Added another note to the Wiki page.

We can't change the factory restore value but we suggest using it at 9600 because at 115200 flow control is needed (which can easily be enabled, but can be an obstacle for first time users).

Thanks for updating the wiki with notes! If you keep it at 115200 I'd suggest enabling the flow control by doing wifi.begin(115200, true); and enabling it on the module via the web admin as well.

update on the power situation:
connecting the DigiX to my MacBookPro Retina via a USB-power-meter I see only around 4.3V at XUSB and another 80mV less at USBVCC (measured at F1). The power-meter though says 5.05V and 170mA, so I'm kinda confused (connecting the DigiX w/o the power-meter doesn't change anything about the voltage being too low)

Using a dedicated 5V USB power supply I see the correct voltage of 5V at both XUSB and USBVCC. The same is true for powering it thru the DC jack from a lab power supply - here the current varies depending on the voltage (I guess you use a switching regulator) but it is never more than 130mA.

The +3.3V seem to be always at the correct level.

Anything else I could test?
