obiwifi adapter with obi 200 having setup problems
magicwine:
Hi Steve,
I did follow your directions - or at least I tried.
The 200 does work on ethernet. This is where I'm lost: "While it is working as an Ethernet-connected device, you can manually type in the WiFi SSID and password and set that access point to be preferred "
Where do I type in the SSID and password? If it's an ip address or url I type in a browser, may I have that?
Thank you for your help.

OBi devices can be accessed for configuration via the OBiTALK portal, or via the device's local IP address. The OBiTALK portal takes precedence over any changes typed into the device's local web page, unless you disable it from doing so.
Log onto your OBiTALK portal page, and go here: https://www.obitalk.com/obinet/pg/obhdev
Add your OBi if you have not already done so. Now, click your OBi on that page, scroll down to the bottom and click "OBi Expert Configuration". Click OK to the "are you sure" warning and click the "Enter OBi Expert" button.
Click "OBiWiFi Configuration" to get to the necessary settings page. Un-check BOTH check boxes to the right of the settings. Make the settings. Click the Submit button.

Hi Steve,
Well I got further than before :-). I don't know why obi didn't have this info in their setup!
So I'm on the expert page. You said to uncheck both settings, but there are many setting on that page, so I presumed you meant the SSD and password. I unchecked, entered the SSID and password, saved it, removed the ethernet cable and power, then plugged in only the power, but after waiting 20 minutes it has not connected. In fact my router screen still shows ethernet, but inactive.
I noticed now that there are 2 red ! points next to the SSID and password. Was I supposed to recheck any of the boxes to the right after I entered the SSID and password?
Note, I entered this in the access point #1 section.
What are my next steps?
Thank you very much for your help.

See my screenshot.
The red exclamation marks simply mean that the settings have been changed from the default. They don't mean "danger" or "bad".
You only remove the check marks from the fields that you want to edit.
I don't know what else you are doing wrong, but it should simply work.

Hi Steve,
I didn't know I was supposed to check access point 1. Did that, and saved, but still won't connect over wifi.
So as originally requested, I disconnected power and the ethernet cable, then reconnected power only. Still no wifi connection. Only the green power led flashing, the other 2 led's not lit.
I've attached a screenshot of my settings page.
Thank you.
Bob
