Hi,

I can get everything to work except the wifi. GQ GMC Data Viewer errors out with "This model does not support wifi."

On the device itself, using the menu, I entered in my router SSID and password and get "unknown" when I try to connect.

I have read every thread I can find on this forum and nothing seems to suggest a solution.

Is there anything I can do?

This is why I never accept most of the router defaults, such as having the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz with the same name. I usually separate my wireless with two distinct SID, one for the 2.4 and one for the 5.0, and hence can easily let my devices connect to a dedicated frequency. If your wireless has got the same name for both frequencies, you will have occasions where it connects (to the 2.4 GHz) and other times where it simply won't (because it is 5.0 GHz and is incompatible with your device

Well I guess two hours of trying wasn't enough! Three hours did the trick.

I got the GMC-320 plus V5 to connect to a hotspot on my phone. Super simple SSID (one letter) and an eight character password consisting of the letter "A" and voila a connection! Must have been my router that was the problem. It can mess things up a little by throwing 2.4 connectivity in with 5.0. So anyway, the only reason I asked for help is that I was starting to wonder if I didn't really have a V5 version of the device, especially after GMC data viewer said that I really didn't have onboard wifi. Anyway, all is well that ends well. Thanks for reading!
