Several have been asking and I wanted to post a resolution.
(At least on my end)
I had this issue in the past when I owned the 536.
So I wanted to post my fix at that time, in hopes that it can help others.

If you setup the 536HP with a dongle for Wi-Fi.
And have a connection error.

* Reboot router
* Go to your router settings, and make sure your SSID is visible (Very important)
* Go to YOUR Wi-Fi settings
* Find your SSID
* Enter password

Once connected, then you can re-hide your SSID


If your SSID is not visible, then you probably won't connect.
And have "Connection Error"

You need to have the SSID visible long enough for the scanner to "see it" so it can connect.
And then once connected, it saves it. So you can re-hide your SSID again and it will remain connected in the future.
