OBI202 Died out of the blue? Suggestions?
kb9nvh:
So my OBI202 which had been working and set up with google since 2013 just stopped functioning (possibly due to a recent firmware update a few weeks ago).
(**added It was hard wired to the internet port not using wifi dongle)
I've verified its NOT the power supply AND
I've done the firmware reset of the device correctly.
There has been no lighting storms for a while and nothing else in the network is damaged. Everything is plugged in through surge protection.
Symptoms:
Unit powered on showing slow blinking power green light. Does not show up or even light network lights on my router nor on the 202 Unit.
Unit both phone lines are DEAD with phone hook ups resulting in no sound or indicator lights lighting up.
So DEAD "internet" port and Dead "phone 1" and "phone 2". Seems to cycle through a reset and Wifi dongle manages to attach to my network.
(Wifi dongle actually attaches to my network and shows up in obitalk as needing set up).
Any suggestions? Any way to flash firmware again with not phone line working?

What exactly do you mean by "Wifi dongle manages to attach to my network.
(Wifi dongle actually attaches to my network and shows up in obitalk as needing set up)." ?
1. I was under the impression that the SSID and passphrase needed to connect to your Wi-Fi network are stored in the 202, not the OBiWIFI. If that is the case and if the 202 has been reset, how can it be connecting?
2. Please clarify what "shows up in OBitalk as needing to be set up"? The dongle or the 202.
If the dongle really is connecting to your WiFi, look in your router's GUI to see what IP address it has been given. Does that address respond to pings? Does putting that address in a browser return anything?

I'm sorry, i forgot to say that the LAN port was still working.
My LAN port was still operating and I was able to set up the wifi through that port.

So I get the wifi dongle set up through the LAN port and then obitalk sees the device but tells me its not set up yet and that I need to hook my phone to it and dial **58511 which I cant do because the phone lines are dead.

That seems at variance with what you wrote in the first post - "Does not show up or even light network lights on my router nor on the 202 Unit."
Anyway, so you are able to get into the onboard GUi with a browser? For the moment do not try any more resets or firmware reloads.
Click on Status, then on PHONE Port Status. With no phones plugged in what do the VBAT and TipRingVoltage lines show for PHONE1 and PHONE2?
