after a few more attempts it now shows the EYESY AP on the eyesy but I’m still not getting a network
Do you see the EYESY network on your phone?
whew! now I can reply! it wouldn’t let me do 3 in a row.
I actually got connected on the 8th attempt!
edit: I don’t see it on my phone but I think that’s because Eyesy is on the network now
Yes, the EYESY can’t be connected to an existing network and generating its AP. It’s one or the other.

wErd. I think your emotional support was what actually connected Eyesy to the network.
thank you.
p.s. I sent y’all a share from instagram the other night when I just happened to have Eyesy with me and ended up projecting at a random event. they played 90 minutes extra because everybody was stoked about Eyeysy and what it adds.
edit: their audio was a bit shite but if you mute it and skip ahead you can see Eyesy in action.
I recently got a second SD card and have one set up with the 2.1 update, mainly because I got word that C&G may have fixed the custom network issue I as having. From the beginning, like many of you, I have only been able to use AP mode, which is fine for most things. But it is a pain when you want to use the web AND work on your Eyesy from the same machine.
So I really want to see the custom WIFI network happening. But alas, in 2.1, it still doesn’t work.
I’m configuring per the manual using the Eyesy in AP mode first to access the WIFI settings. And yes, I am using a 2.4 Ghz network for this. I have a Netgear R6200 that works with pretty much anything I’ve thrown at it, including Arduino projects, WIFI cameras, etc. I’ve tried putting the Eyesy closer to my router, and that had no impact.
Is SSH mode the only workaround, or will there be a fix to set up via the Eyesy URL/Settings panel?
Maybe Netgear R6200 does not work with the USB-WiFi adapter. Can you try creating a network with your phone and join that from the EYESY?
@chrisk Tried a WIFI hotspot on Android, 2.4 Ghz, still no connection. My phone is a bit old though, so not sure if that will make a difference.
OK - thanks for trying
I’m not able to get it to join my wifi either(version 2.2). AP works fine, but not joining. I’ve tried the web ui, ssh’ing in and putting the result of wpa_passphrase myWifi into /sdcard/System/wpa_supplicant.conf but it does nothing.
The readonly file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf still has the following contents (sd/system/wpasupplicant is not being reflected):
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
network={
ssid="Name"
psk="password"
}
Could that have something to do with it?
Edit: also tried just executing wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/sdcard/System/wpa_supplicant.conf while connected via AP, it killed the AP but does not appear to have connected it to the existing network. 
Edit 2: remounted / rw and edited /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. No change.

Personaly like i said in other topic related to wifi & AP mode issue :
On 2.1 and 2.2 firmware, i found out that i always can connect my EYESY in AP mode once the first time then as soon as i change default AP name and password into the EYESY web page , save then reboot i lost for ever the AP connexion even trying the combo (shift+start buton) million time when i boot the EYESY.
The only solution i found is to reinstall the firmware into the sd card from scratch and then never try to change the name and password letting the default one. ( EYESY/ coolmusic).
Same bug if i touch the upper menu about home wifi connexion.
i solved my connection issues to my wifi network with the following solution.
My problem was, my wifi network name had a space in it. Looks like EYESY or the unix os they are using have problems with names and spaces.
But you can easily solve this, simple edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file
you have to use single ’ ’ if there is a space in your name instead of " "
After saving and rebooting EYESY now connects without issues to my network.
CONTENT OF MY wpa_supplicant.conf file:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=DE
network={
ssid=‘my wlannetwork’
psk=“password”
}
