Hi Mark,
I looked into the wireless controller logs and found equipment that is not allowed. My address begins 5C:CF:...
After entering into RADIUS my RX unit immediately joined to the Internet.

There is another way too:
Configure the Pro2 PLUS RX software to connect to a WiFi network which allows any connection.
Upload the software, then, with the VP1 switch still in program position, open your serial monitor, the unit will reboot.
After a successful connection, you will see the local IP and the MAC address.

Thanks Werk, that nice to know... I was only playing with this last night, and I did it the same way as Zdenek. I went into my wireless AP and looked for the new connection, then sent at endless ping at the device (ping a.b.c.d -t) and powered it up and down to confirm.

Interesting Mark... As far as I knew, and MAC address had to have 12 digits according to the ethernet protocol regarding hardware - first 6 representing the manufacturer and the last 6 being the unique identifier. Mine was 0A:20:A6-08:C8:9B. If we are using the same wifi modules on the boards, I'd expect your MAC to also start with 0A:20:A6. Is that correct..????
PS - not that it really matters at all, just more out of curiosity....
