Description


VB-WIFI-001 Wireless Module not detected by ViewSonic ViewBoard


Symptom(s)

  • WIFI settings will not remain active
  • Unable to activate WIFI setting
  • Display doesn't detect WIFI module


Certain ViewSonic ViewBoards may require their firmware to be updated prior to using with the latest VB-WIFI-001(Dual Band Wireless Module), as the Display may have been manufactured before the release of the VB-WIFI-001.  In these circumstances, the display's operating system will require an update that includes the VB-WIFI-001 drivers.

 ViewSonic Display Firmware Updates



If the firmware of the display is on the latest version and the VB-WIFI-001 is still not recognized, insert the VB-WIFI-001 into another available USB port on the display.  If the VB-WIFI-001 is detected on a different USB port, contact ViewSonic Support as the slot-in port may be malfunctioning.
