Hello,

Power cycle the Pogoplug again. It should be fine afterwards.

Hello,

Please make a support ticket containing your DeviceID and leave your Pogoplug connected via ethernet cord. We may be able to figure out what is happening remotely.

Thanks,

I'm having a similar problem with my pogoplug pro.

When I initially set it up via wired connection I saw the wireless configuration operations available but elected not to configure them at that point.

Now that I'm starting to get things figured out with the nuances of the pogoplug I want to set it up wireless. The problem is that my wireless settings won't recognize any wireless networks, which I also know are available. I've even tried manually entering the network info even though I know I'm broadcasting my ssid.

My firmware is not x.x.7, it's the .6 one.

I've cycled the power on everything several times to no avail.

If it helps, I did notice a decreased performance when I had two drives connected, now that I'm down to one it seems to be working faster (somewhat expectedly).

I also can't seem to ssh into the pogoplug either.

I also have a pro that I cannot get to connect to wireless. The interface never brings up any SSID's. I have disconnected and power cycled several times, but still get no visible SSID' and cannot force connect even entering the SSID and pass key. Support ticket pending...

FWIW, the instructions I was given are as follows in case they help someone else, but so far no success for me:

1) Uncheck "Enable printer discovery" in Print Settings
2) Eject your drive(s) using the eject button next to the name of your drive on your home page at my.pogoplug.com or the General Settings page
3) Physical detach your USB drive
4) Power cycle your Pro

Starting to wonder if I got a unit with bad wifi hardware...

I'm having the same problem. I get green when connected by cable, but no wireless, despite rebooting and the printer discovery unchecked.

Support had me get into the admin setup and download a log file and send it to them. They have referred my case to "engineering".

Online Support is painfully slow, taking a full day or more for every question and reply...

No word from support yet, but some experimenting found some interesting issues. I have no other wireless networks near my home to see more than my own SSID. I brought a MiFi 3G wireless access card from work to test my pogoplug to see if it just couldn't communicate with my router. Surprisingly, when the second SSID broadcast was present, my pogoplug pro could not only see the cellular router buy my local router and finally connect to it. My pogoplug pro could only detect my linksys wireless router if the pogoplug booted up with another SSID also broadcasting in range. New wireless networks could only be detected if the pogoplug is rebooted. The "refresh list" does not seem to display any changes when running other than what it detected on boot up. It would stay connected wirelessly if the second unit was turned off as long as the power remained on. Power down and back up without a second SSID present and my pogoplug could not see the router or SSID or connect to it as when I got it.

I forwarded the info with my now 10 day old support request, but to me there seems to be a bug in wireless networking SSID detection.

Tequila_Designs said: The WiFi hasn't worked on my Pogo Pro, it just doesn't see my wireless network. I'm hoping that a new update will fix the problems with this device. More so, I'm hoping this patch (if it's not bad hardware) will be rolled out soon. I love the concept of Pogo and I'm willing to 'hang in there'. Tech issues are nothing new to most of us here and being just a tad bit patient will go a long way. Mbeatty's pic says it all, "Hey PogoPlug people, we like you, we love the product, but were a bit restless here!"

Hello,

   We are aware that(for some reason) there are conditions under which the WiFi doesn't pick up SSIDs. We are working with the vendors of the wireless linux module and hope to get to the bottom of it.

   Please experiment with changing between WPA and WPA2 or changing the channel of your wireless router. If you can change the g/b/n mode settings, try those as well. please let us know. It may help us to understand what is causing the problem and fix it.

Having same problem as everyone else here. Pogoplug Pro just doesn't see the wireless network at all. Have tried the suggestions here with no luck.

Am wondering if I should just return it and pick up the regular Pogoplug and save the $, especially if it isn't working or disconnects when the power goes out...wouldn't have access, but with en it at least would reconnect.

That is good to know! This info will be shown to the developers.

I am having the same problem with not being able to connect wirelessly. Has any solution been discovered?

Update:
The good news: CE engineers logged onto my unit and confirmed a bug where the pro does not discover and/or update wireless network SSDI's correctly. They didn't give me much detail though.

The bad news: I (we) have to wait for the next software release for the bug fix. Since I'm showing "Device 2.5.7", that must be 2.5.8 we are waiting for to get the fix.

With the latest update, is anyone's wireless working now? Mine still isn't ><
