Spektrum NX8 help please

Hi All,

I have just bought an NX8, and I am having trouble getting the WiFi to set up. I have tried several times now and getting a little annoyed with it.

 

So I go into WiFi Utilities, connect to network and select my WiFi, so far ok, I then select password and it takes me to the password screen, I use the scroll wheel to enter the correct password. (At this point it is me I think), I press the scroll wheel and it takes me to the main screen. I then go to the WiFi utilities screen, credentials and highlight the connect and press the scroll wheel, it tries to connect but fails. 

The password is correct, I have entered it correctly. Is pressing the scroll wheel the way to enter the password after the last character has been entered?

I have tried about 5 times now even with my 15 year old son at hand and still to no avail.

 

The instructions skip this bit, just enter the password it says

 

Any advice welcome

I have registered the set online though I don't see this would make any difference as it will not connect

 

Regards

Robert

Part of my post was missing sorry. My NX did not get full function until registered and upgraded.

I was doing a double check on your process as it is the way to go.

The thumbwheel does confirm inputs, so is the last click

Again

Does all available local Wi-Fi show on your screen.

Having had a couple more attempts, with no success I took some photos to show you what I am doing.

Starting to enter password

Password entered. Attempt 1. On entering the last letter and still highlighted I pressed the scroll bar (long press, short press or click no response)

And went straight to the home screen.

password entered. Attempt 2.  went 1 space so last letter not highlighted and pressed the scroll bar (long press, short press no response)

And back to the home screen.

Then going to the WiFi utilities selecting connect to Network

I get this sometimes, new to me.

Then it tries to connect

and then I get this on either attempt.

I have also tried the "Saved Networks" only not to connect.

Just a note that I have upgraded from a DX9 so the Spektrum system is not new to me.

 

Regards

Robert

Does look to be a password issue. I had problems with passwords when I kept trying the wrong password, I can't remember what it was, I kept putting the wi-fi password in but eventually worked out it was asking for the device password. Frustrating yes, to the point where it nearly went out of the window. Once I realised the issue it was simple.

Is the NX8's WiFi 2.4GHz only or does it also include 5GHz - our home router (nothing special, 6yr old Virgin Media item) sends out two networks, a 2.4GHz one and a 5GHz one. I name my networks by the frequency, so I can see, but if you've never done that, they could look very similar. If the NX8 can only see one or the other, or you're used to connecting to a particular one with one password, then perhaps you're indeed giving it the wrong password. Take a look at the back of the router.

Hi All,

Finally sorted ?

It was not me, well not quite. Having again looking at U-tube and came across one which discussed how to update via USB lead. In this video it also mentioned to do this first as Spektrum have experienced some radios WiFi setups not working correctly.

 

So I followed the instructions as per video and then went on to WiFi setup and entered the password, this time pressing the Back button instead of the scroll wheel and it took me back to the WiFi setup screen and then pressed connect and I'm connected.

 

Thanks to all who gave their advice.

 

My next tasks are to change to Mode 1 and transfer all my model memories from my DX9 once I buy a  mini SD card with an adapter

 

Regards

Robert
