Hello,

I'm trying to configure my pronto to get connected to my wifi router, but I doesn't seem to work.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong
The goal is to control my Bticino home controls thru the network.
I have a dlink DIR 655 router.
My home controls have fixed IP's and wanted to give my pronto a fixed IP, Also i have secure network

thank you for your help

Do a search for my thread on " you think you have anetwork problem " should help you out

A search for DLink 655 is also appropriate as I think some users have had issues with this router and pronto. I seem to recall seeing this model pop up with regard to which firmware was running on the router.

Check in this forum for the options you need to specify for your router (for example: B/G only, SSID broadcasted, try WEP (or nothing) first). I have had success connecting with my DIR-655, but eventually replaced it because connections would drop every once in a while, even with the most recent firmware update available. If you follow the recommendations, you should at least be able to get it to work, maybe even with WPA (in my case, WPA was not a reliable alternative with the D-link). After that, check for longer-term connection reliability.

Hope this helps.

ok i have connection now thanks, I have yet to try with WEP or WPA, because now i don't have a secure WIFI.
any tips for this?

thank you all

WEP is faster than WPA but WPA is more secure. I personally use WEP here in the states. Some users have created WEP network for Pronto that "bridges" into a WPA-based router in that Pronto can get to the internet for use of web-based content such as weather.com but is not available for incoming connections. Others have locked down their WEP networks on the router by specifying the allowed MAC addresses which can connect.

Note, it's really not secure to specify mac adresses.. You have tons of tools wich can break that. Also Wep is pretty easy to hack to.. Best thing to do is a seperate network, just for pronto.
In my believe internet acces is not neccary, since almost everybody I know has a iPod or even iPad / mobile phone's / laptop's wich are much better in providing information. But that's just me..

I believe the better way is to hide your ssid and set-up a MAC address filtering on you wireless router.
I found that TSU-9600 is not fully compatible with WEP standard, so I also not use WEP on my setup.
Fixed ip should be better as long as no more 'new' connection that potentially make a conflict ip on your network.

Hidding your SSID is NOT recommended. The outcome is very unpredictable.

My experience with the TSU 9600 and Dlink DIR 655 router.

It worked, most of the time (~95%). However 95% wasn't good enough. Periodically it would lose the wifi connection and it would take ~2-10 seconds to reconnect. I gave up and added a D-link DWL-G700AP wireless access point running no encription (per Philips recommendation) but using MAC filtering (TSU 9600 only) and broardcasting on very low power - it is located just a few feet away from the viewing area. Signal strength on the TSU is just 1 bar but it works 100%!

I haven't yet updated the firmware because there's nothing to fix!
