Oak is not connecting my home ssid

[rjain]

Hi All
  I am new to IoT world, but i was so excited to try out.
I got the Oak and i was following instruction for configuring my wifi ssid on Oak.
  Here are the steps I followed from my iPhone and also tried with my PC win7
    1) Check are you are connect to internet (Home network)
    2) open http://rawgit.com/digistump/OakSoftAP/master/config.html
    3) Click on "I am setting up a new Oak"  and login using particle username /password
    4) Then Connect to SSID ACORN-XXXXXX , it show 10 ssid  one of them is my home ssid
    5) select that and provide network password ( WPA key)  go ahead
  But LED light don't blink fast or irregular , When check on my router for active client on that SSID, i don't see this device
 I have also check my network password no issue with it. I login into particle dashboard i don't see this device

  Could you please help me to resolve my issue.

Thanks
Rahul

You're not alone, the firmware is offline until the bugs are resolved.

I tried again but it is not doing update and registering to particle.io

Mine refuses to connect to my Virgin media wifi, I can only manage to get mine online using my phone as a wifi access point.

Any ideas??

I've been trying to get the upgrade done for hours. I can get the led to blink for 15 - 20 seconds, then nothing.  About how long rjain did your update take?

Im in Australia so i put it down to flakey internet, but took me about 4-5 attempts to get one of mine to update, would flash fast for 1-5 seconds, then a few times at 15-20 seconds. The attempt that worked took over 30 seconds, So if it was me I would give it a few more shots

My Upgrade took 1 minute.

Same problem here from France, tested yesterday January 31st.

Despite numerous tries, and the LED flashing fast for 20 seconds, the Oak doesn't connect to my LAN.

I can't tell the firmware has been updated.

I had a poor experience with my Particle Photon and the Particle servers, as they are often overloaded.

Is an update through USB possible? This would be safer!

Im new here. I just received my oak and try to connect it with no luck

i have try different router secure or not, the led blink for some time but it never connect at the end so the firmware update probably fail.

any news on a more stable process?

I'm having the same issue (I think).  The configure-ap request times out after 7.5min.  It's not clear to me if the Oak isn't connecting to wifi, can't download the firmware, or can't apply the firmware.  The LED just blinks out a steady pulse, no information about the process.  Is there any place to look to know that the firmware is currently being served?  I've seen a few posts that suggest it's both there and not there.

I summarised the question at "Connecting and Programming Your Oak" — Out of Beta, When?

[digistump]

Can any one who had trouble getting the beta firmware update to work please try again, I've written a custom server to send the file to the Oak "just how it likes it" in hopes that it will make the setup much smoother, and my tests have been a big success, but I can't account for every router/connection/etc

Thanks,
Erik

Yes, thank you! I was able to connect just now.
