I have always been able to connect to my controller through my laptop wirelessly with the FPP connect tool, but recently it hasn't been able to discover my Falcon F16v4 controller. I can ping the controller with my laptop and verified that it has a valid IP address. I am trying to remember if I downloaded and update and that is the issue. I also switch my home wifi router and that my be an issue. I have attached the controller setup in xlights and the network settings on the controller. Please let me know if you have any ideas or see something I am doing wrong. I can provide more info if need be.  Thanks!   You cannot view this attachment. You cannot view this attachment.

A return Ping just means that there is "some" device at that address, it doesn't mean it is what you think it "might" be.

That is very likely.

How about a little more information on your setup? How many controllers?
It looks like you are running your F16 in Player mode? Do you have an SD card in it, and set it to Player mode?
What happens if you power down your F16 and then try to ping it?
If to err is human, I am more human than most people.
