536 WiFi - hard locks scanner

[t13one12]

Updated firmware on both the Wifi dongle and the scanner. Wifi info shows the dongle connected with v5.01, scanner v 1.02.03.

Doing Wi-Fi Setup > Set Connection > Infrastructure Mode:

Gets stuck with the following text:

"Looking for networks"
"Please wait."

Left it go for ~10 minutes, none of the front panel button do anything, have to switch it off to recover. I have two 2.4ghz access points, one on 2412 the other on 2457, both WPA2, signal is great, different SSIDs. Laptops, cell phone, tablets all connect to either without issue.

Ideas?

I'm having a similar issue with a Verizon Fios modem/router. The scanner finds the network fine but after I put the passcode in it holds up. I'm using a WEP key. Any specific settings I should check to open up? I have several devices that all connected with no issues including a new Xbox One. I had a little bit of initial trouble updating the firmware due to the compatibility issue but everything else seemed to have worked in the end.

Any thoughts?

Try changing the authentication to WPA2/PSK and also try a different WEP KEY

No idea why changing to WPA2 worked but it did. Thanks! After updating all my devices for the first time will I need to do it often/periodically?

Greatly appreciated. I know the app isn't out yet but this one was lingering in my mind waiting for resolution. Thanks for quick replies and suggestions.
