[ UPDATE - Possibly / partly resolved.... see Capt Marty's suggestion to remove password (#3) and my followup replies (#'s 5 & 7) ]
Received new MA2 Combo with the Smart Controller. Smart Controller "must be activated" first. Fully charged the batteries
Turned on the SC and followed the prompts for language, agreeing to terms, and location.
The Controller scanned "found" my (internet) networks and asked for the network password. After about 3 minutes watching the "connecting to WiFi" received the message "Connecting to Wi_Fi Failed" The device "fails" after receiving the CORRECT network password(s). ( I have two; 2.4 and 5 Ghz )
Made a dozen more attempts, then took the controller to a friend's home and tried connecting using their network with the same failed results. Throughout the attempts there were intermittent beeps, which I eventually noticed resulted in the Controller TURNING OFF. I was able to keep the SC on by tapping the Home or Pause buttons during the beeping.
Following those failures I then made an assumption that "perhaps" a firmware update was in order and tried updating to the latest (0.0860). The results were downloads to 99%, freezing for about 10 minutes, then the "Network error" message, or Failed to Update. (That killed 4 hours of effort.). [Please... no suggestions on how to use Assist 2 for Mavic, or clearing memory cache, or using micro SD cards for more memory- I can't even get the Smart Controller Activated/registered]
As an aside, I have already used Assistant 2 for Mavic to update the firmware for the aircraft.
I've owned and updated MP's, Sparks, and Mini's over the last 3+ years and never encountered this early-on level of failure.
Does anyone have any ideas. (This thing is less that 12 hours old!)
