ZWO AM5 WIFI will not reset

reifheck

Hi.
I'm having trouble resetting the AM5 WIFI to the default password of 12345678. I have tried holding the Tracking and Cancel buttons for 5 seconds many times. I never see the Fast LED flash ever and cannot connect to the AM5 hot spt using the default password.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Reif

Hi guys.

I finally figured out how to reset the WIFI Password of the Hand Controller to the Default Password.

The Manual neglects to mention that with the Power Off:

Hold the Track and Cancel Buttons
Power on the AM5 while still holding the two buttons down
In about 5 Seconds the Fast LED will blink quickly and extinguish

You can now login to the ZWO AM5 Mount with the ASI Mount App using the default password (12345678) and set it to whatever you wish and switch between Hot Spot IP (192.168.4.1) or Regular WIFI IP (192.168.0.64) Modes.

I tried both modes with NINA and they work perfectly.

I'll be using the Hot Spot mode in the field next week.

I have a ticket into ZWO to change the manual.
