Cannot create wireless network

[aggieimperator]

I am having an issue making the myRIO create its own wireless network. It has the capacity to do so, as shown in the NI myRIO tutorial video at http://www.ni.com/academic/students/learn-rio/applications/ in the Data Dashboard and NI myRIO video @ 57 seconds. In the video, it clearly shows the option to create the wireless network, however, when i follow the video's instruction, I don't have the listed option to create the wireless network. The image attached shows my screen and the clear absence of the option.

I am new to myRIO and thus still learning, but I don't have any idea why I don't have that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Juan

You need to upgrade to the newest driver.

It was a while ago when I last udated, so I am not completely sure what I did.

I would just run the NI update service and see what it wants to update.

Then open Max and find the myRIO. Go to the "system setting tab (along the bottom) and click the button to "update firmware". Select the newest from the dialog.

hi, I was using NI Myrio1900 with labview 2014, but recently Uni upgrade the software version to Myrio15.0, firmware 3.0.0f0.After the update, there is no pull down list for "wireless mode" but only disable, if I reconnect the data cable and press the wireless button, the status for "wireless mode" would change to "connect to wireless network" but nothing else. Could you please advice if there could be any possible solution please? I'v formatted the device also, but still not work. Cheers.

Even I'm having same issue on few of the myRIO devices in the lab. I've tried almost everything on those particular units but didn't work. I suggest you to downgrade to firmware 1.0 to get back atleast the Wi-Fi connectivity. You won't be able to use myRIO as an access point.

Note: I haven't tried the latest 2016 version maybe that would solve the problem.

thanks for your reply, will try myrio16 to see if it can help or not.

Then I recommend a downgrade to firmware 1.0 and LabVIEW 13
