Yep, just like how DB9 RS232 interfaces went away. But that can be solved with a serial to USB adapter. Wait... what do we do when USB goes away!?

The only way to get data or software into your things is via Cloud-Internet-WiFi. What is this “cable” of which you speak?

My mantra: If it doesn’t move, it needs an ethernet cable.

Getting back on topic... assuming there isn't a wall in between, if it's only a foot away, why doesn't he just plug a wire into the wretched thing? On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 11:08 AM, joseph marsh <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:

        Nothing formal but the process we use with all devices that

        1)Does the device see the broadcast SSID?

        2)If not, then the WiFi doesn’t work on the device and you
        need an external WiFi adapter or get it fixed. Lots of Xboxes
        fall into this category.

        3)If it does see it, test without encryption, see if that
        works.  We run into a couple of options with this issue, can’t
        negotiate security, devices only supports WEP, WPA, or WPS
        which Ubiquiti doesn’t support.

        4)If it still doesn’t work, check all updates and firmware

        5)From there, try replacing the AP or testing with another AP

        6)At the point, replace the playstation or the device
