Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: RRC1258 on Wifi 7 router - won't connect to Wifi

« on: 2026-04-01, 02:12:52 »

Responding to my own thread, but I believe I've found the answer:

The hardware in the RRC1258 only supports 802.11B. It does not support 802.11G. The issue with WiFi 7 is that they phased out the old WPA-based security for networks and replaced it with requiring a minimum of WPA2. The wireless card in RRC1258 does not support WPA2. It is constantly failing out trying to use old-style WPA connectivity on the new router. I found a bunch of "mismatched authorization packet" errors in the router logs after enabling additional logging to support this conclusion. 

As far as I can tell, the only way to connect a RRC1258 to a Wifi 7 network is:
1) Don't run Wifi 7 at all so that you can keep running WPA
2) Run the ethernet jack on RRC1258 to a wireless bridge that supports a later version of the Wifi standard

It isn't a great option, but until and unless RemoteRig releases an updated device that has better Wifi support, this is about all there is.

There are several companies that make Wifi 6 and Wifi 7 bridges, so luckily the needed parts seem to be easily available.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC1258 on Wifi 7 router - won't connect to Wifi

« on: 2026-03-31, 06:13:11 »

Hello,

Has anyone gotten a RRC1258 to work on a Wifi7 network? I've updated my network router to an Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro. Everything else in my network (including 40+ IoT devices) are working fine, but the RRC client device won't connect.

It finds the network when using "network scan", but when telling it to connect, it just blinks the green LED. I didn't change the network name or WPA password when updating the router.

Is there a way to check the logs in the device to determine why it isn't connecting ?

Is there a known issue with Wifi 7 where some setting in the router needs to be changed? I've included the settings as attachments to this post.

General discussion / Has anyone gotten a software TNC to work with an IC-1700 via RRC client?

« on: 2018-04-27, 00:19:39 »

Hello All,

I'm trying to see if I can get an AX.25 TNC to work on my IC-7100 via RRC. The 7100 does not have a built in TNC, so I use a software TNC (direwolf).

Direwolf does not know how to key the radio via CAT, so I use a client called "CAT7200" that connects to the com port of the 7100, and generates a new virtual com port that has a few of the CAT commands swapped out so that direwolf knows how to talk to it.

Unfortunately, I get an error message from CAT7200 when pointing it to the virtual com port created by RRC. Apparently RRC does not allow the RTSEnable flag to be called on it's port

Is there a possible workaround? Maybe someone knows of a software TNC that works with CAT commands natively? The client is Windows10.
